Denver Downs Farmstead — Attraction in Sandy Springs

Cute farm, lots of activities, but when I read their website ahead of time, the only thing it said about food was “no coolers and no alcohol, please.” So we packed a picnic. However, when we got there, they said no food was allowed in on the weekends, which hadn’t been indicated on the site.

If you can do the corn maze (takes about 30 - 45 minutes if you are trying a little with kids involved). Lots to do for the kids. Some things are pricey. Set your limit before you go as it is easy to spend way more than you planned. The kids will...
