Bonanzaville USA — Attraction in Mapleton Township

Great place to spend an afternoon. We had our wedding reception here. They have two venues on site, and we went with the main building venue. Priced well, very accommodating, flexible payment as well. Have a contracted bar on call with a brand new bar area. Plenty of room for lots of people. Best part was how easy it is to find and get to. One exit off of 94 and you're right there. Missy is great to work with and actually cares about what YOU want. Many of our ideas were met with "oh sure, we can totally do that!". She was there from well before the start of our day to the end! The thing we loved most was that we got the venue for multiple days, so decorating was done at a normal pace, an no cleanup that night! I'm glad we went with this place and not one of those generic overdone venues that people have been to multiple times. Our guests loved getting to tour the meusem during the reception and kept stir crazy kids...

We were so disappointed in the Christmas on the Prairie event held on Dec 3rd this year. The advertisement for the event said it ran until 5:00. We came from an hour out of town and arrived at 3:45, paid the admission and given a map of activities, only to find that almost all of the events were finished already. No smores, no carolers or live music, the backsmith was closed, no cookies left to decorate, no krumkake, and no horse drawn wagon rides. Our kids were really underwhelmed and upset that none of the things we told them to look forward to were available to do. The least they could have done was to tell us at the entrance that none of those things were available anymore, and we would have left instead. If an event is advertised until a certain time, it should be running...
