Very nice place. Sunflower maze area is amazing. I have nver walked through that many sunflowers. Many different varieties. They have a corn maze and pumpkin patch also. Looks like alot of fun in the fall.

Was pretty cool. My 3 year old loved it. My older kids not so much but they did enjoy the pumpkin patch. They do have a huge pumpkin patch compared to some and the corn maze is huge but people have plowed down a lot of it. They also have huge pumpkins for 20 dollars which is a good price.

This place is pretty great. This place is massssive. The small spruce you pay is very worth the experience. The corn maze is impressively fun and well kept. Plenty of food options and many many things for children. Masks preferred currently 10/15) and plenty of public hand sanitization stations throughout the hands on stuff. Shops there too for fall related shtuff.. Hay rides, Pumpkin patch, small play-lime ride activities and slides.

This is a great place for families to get away from the hustle of the city. They have quite a few activities for children, including a tube slide, hay tunnels, sand box, trike riding, and hay rides. It's not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
