You can go in this caboose!









They have a ton of these saucer swings









Huge sand pit with diggers









Duck derby


The mining sluice and geode cracking cost extra. My kids love this activity!


The donkeys and goats were super sweet and loved getting petted.










Swings, Noah's ark, and a big slide


The tractor ride was nice and long, plus it fits a ton of people. 



Cute Spookley maze


One thing that costs extra is the apple cannon and shooting gallery. 







I liked that they had pedal cars for bigger kids too!












It was almost an hour's drive, but we easily spent 3 hours there doing the various activities. We also went to the museum in Ste. Genevieve since it was only 15 minutes further. The pumpkin patch is right near the entrance so we picked them on the way out. The kids enjoyed picking them out in the field and we had a wonderful day here!
