We live about ten to fifteen minuets away. I wish that I had realized to buy the year pass a long time ago. We go so frequently, a family of five can buy the year membership for about just two visits to the park. We love everything about the park, and it is also extremely CLEAN every single time we have gone there. No litter, trash, junk ect. The entire grounds including the parking lot is immaculate. Which is such a complement considering how many people go on any weekend day. We also have attended in the past the "holiday" events and each year I tell myself Why did I not attend this event years before, how is this the first time I am attending which ever event it is. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Just as much if not more than my kids. The animals, all seem like they cuddle and love on the workers. Such as the sheep, goats, cow and ponies. So adorable to interact with and the staff/volunteers do a great job. I love how there are so many different interactive things for the kids to do such as, free trike rides, hayride, feed the baby goats bottles, feed the goats pebbles, ducks feedings, ect.. Then you also have the nature trail in the back of the park and three or four playgrounds and the food shops in front. We have spent an entire day yet again here and not completed every activity. I feel like every spring when we arrive after the winter closings, that they have added, improved or continued to innovate the park. Making it so amazing time after time. What also is a MAJOR WIN WIN is that when the park is closed, there is also a medium/small attached outdoor playground available to the children. Such a life savor on days when you just want an hour of playground time but not the whole park. Can not say enough great things!! If I would make ONE recommendation it would be to have an available bathroom with a changing station for that outdoor park area. As well as possibly consider gating the perimeter of that park solely due to one side having a sidewalk ramp up to the road/main road side walk for access. As well as the back portion having a wooded area with a creek. I say this because of how many times children are not paying attention and either attempt to run into the wooded area after going down the slide that curves to face it and or the children playing tag and ruining on / up the edge of that sidewalk. As a parent as long as I am watching my children I feel very comfortable without this external gate. However, not all parents/ adults supervision as closely which can be a bit nerve racking.
