I love taking little here to visit the various animals and feed them. It’s always a fun experience and I’m only just learning about their holiday experiences.
The decor and events they have for Halloween throughout the whole place is fun and wonderful for the little and family alike and the theme park was better than expected albeit I do wish they had a little more helping hands on board for the theme park. Maybe the one lady who is running everything wouldn’t have been so snappy when she had to remove me from the rollercoaster I had misjudged and thought it would be mild due to its size and took my little on. I understand she removed me for the safety of my little and because an accident could’ve caused major problems for the park and maybe due to her sense of being overwhelmed and panicked it made it harder to address respectfully while feeling rushed but the snappiness really wasn’t necessary and it was really embarrassing to be spoken to like that in front of everyone over a mistake I had made.
That said kai who was helping with the bounce house and slide at the time I went was wonderful. Super compassionate, helpful and involved and really attentive to their job while being engaging with the attendees.
Overall it is a lovely place I try to visit often and won’t let one poor experience incident Keep me from enjoying returning...
Read moreGreat place for all ages. They have several places to grab a bite to eat. From there we, me, my daughter, and her 4 children, went to the train. It runs around and through the village. The gal that is the engineer did circles and got the kids in the back giggling. The train stops back where it started. My daughter bought a bag of sand and polished rocks that the kids could pan for in the little "stream" set up for that purpose. They loved it. From there, we headed for the yarn store. Bought a ball of the most lovely yarn for my daughter to make me a scarf for this winter. The shop also offers classes. Really nice place. Made me wish I could knit or crochet. After our purchases were paid for, we headed towards the chocolate wagon. Oh my goodness. In anticipation of the upcoming birthday of Harry Potter, there were chocolate frogs, Bertie Botts beans, every type of Harry Potter candy you could imagine. And they have chocolate covered Twinkies too! Great shop. Pleasant staff. We left the village and headed towards the farm. Here you may purchase pony rides. There is also a decent petting area. All the kids got to hold a bunny, pet pigs, and a 1 day old calf. This place, Gardner Village, is amazing, but especially at Halloween. The shop owners dress up as witches, and most everyone comes in costumes. This event is highly...
Read moreThe man, that I assume operates the farm, was very sweet, welcoming and kind. When he told us they had baby bunnies, my son was SO excited. As he loves bunnies. The woman that was caring for the rabbits ruined it for us. She was so rude. She watched our every move and kept saying "don't touch that," "stop, you can't touch that, "no! Dont do that." My son was simply trying to pet the rabbits in the cages because she didn't want to take any of them out. When asked to hold one she responded with "I don't know if any of them want to be held right now." It's unfortunate that she ruined a would-have-been really fun experience for my son, as he absolutely loves bunnies so much. And she made it seem like they were off-limits. And that everything he did was wrong. All he wanted to do was pet them and all she did was keep scolding him. Towards the end of our visit, I finally had enough of her talking to my son in that manner. I told her that my son is fine. That I was there watching him and that he is just trying to see the rabbits. She then said "yeah" and finally left my son alone. I heard another little boy excitedly ask if he could help feed them and she abruptly and bluntly said "no." Because of her, we unfortunately...
