Kelley's Farmstead — Attraction in Town of Byron

The tightropes weight limit reads “3,333 lb weight limit.” We had seen countless adults sit on the tightrope, bouncing on it. We, a group of about 3 friends, had sat on the tightrope together and it snapped. One of us were on our tip toes, barely sitting on it, while another 1-2 were bouncing on it. We originally had 5 on but 2 eventually left. While the three of us, definitely under 3,333 lbs, stayed on. The tightrope snapped and we moved activites, we didn’t want to cause any more trouble. Me and one more friend moved to tetherball, setting it to each other. I set it to my friend, only my fingertips grazing it, then it fell to the floor. We had barely hit it, only one round, before the faulty ball fell. Eventually me and my friends were called to a legal guardian, and were lectured. They claimed we were purposely destroying property, and the tetherball? It was fixed in merely 10 minutes. And the tightrope? Turns out the tightrope was old, seven years old. They claimed there were multiple of us bouncing on the tightrope, when only 1-2 of us were while the three of us were on there. The weight limits are faulty! An 11 year old friend who weights 80 went onto the zip line, where the weight limit was 100 lbs, and he dragged on the floor! We had also seen various kids breaking and stomping on the toys and dump trucks in the sand area, and got off free! The staff, when we tried to explain the misunderstanding, dismissed us and were extremely disrespectful. 1 star! I wish I could give 0 for the accusations, we spent an hour driving for a...

The entrance price isn't terrible (since you get a free pumpkin) but it does seem silly to charge adults full admission when we can't do all the activities and are mostly there to supervise. The food was very overpriced so we skipped it. The grain train was super fun. You can't go wrong with a classic hay bale tower to play on. My biggest complaint, which is generally my complaint about most places like this, is lack of involvement of the staff. Once you are through the gates there is only one attendant at the apple shooter (which costs extra btw), and one at the zipline and that's it. They leave it up to parents to properly supervise kids and manager the activities...and we all know how other parents/kids can be. It would just be nice to have someone walking around to make sure things are...

Weight limits are false which could have gotten children hurt. Wouldn't listen to the true story and only listened to parents. Fault equipment and blames kids on everything. Staff was rude and disrespectful. Biohazards everywhere after I went I got sick almost immediately. Wasp everywhere and constantly getting stinged. Many cuts on slides and red spots by them. Almost all equipment is a decade old and has no check ups or safety. When equipment is broken the put a bucket on it and call it a day. Overall not safe place for children or Families with kids. Would not recommend I would give it a negative...
