This place is wonderful, and best of all there is NO entrance fee. The play yard is free all year and includes pretend farm, chicken house, farmers market, tractor workshop, things to climb on, slide, sandbox, swings, corn table, and small petting zoo. It was a short walk to the apple trees or you could ride the tractor. They also have a market with yummy goods.
They offer these activities for a fee during the fall: Paint a pumpkin, kids' games, (win every time), pony rides, and face painting. Everyone says they have the best apple cider slushies and apple cider donuts in the world- and I agree!
