★★★★★Alysha BargerThis is a awesome place!! Today was the first time there as a chaperone on a field trip and om definitely going to go back!!! The staff was amazing, very informative on all the animals, animals are beautiful, very friendly ones that you could pet as well!! Mrs. Bowlander herself is such a wonderful individual!! I talked to her as the kids had lunch and she definitely touched a spot in my heart!! She is one strong willed, loving, caring, tough individual!!! I can't wait to go back!! From letting us milk a cow, hold baby chick's and ducks, Llama, horses, pigs and more to exploring the upstairs of the barn it was GREATTTTT.. (the pic of the child is my kid)
★★★★★Sharon ClarkWow!!! So much fun!!! We do like outdoor activities and animals and farms/corn mazes. So if this is your thing, I highly recommend a visit here. We did one the of Easter Weekend days, so we got to hold a baby chick, a baby duck, and a baby bunny. We pet the donkey, goats, and a cow or 2. We fed the llama, chickens, goats, geese, cows, and turkeys. The feed is provided by the farm and is included in the price. The kids had fun in the hay maze, in the barrel train, making jump rope bubbles, playing on the playground, interacting with the animals, and getting candy from the candy cannon! The farm has lots of varieties of chickens and so many peacocks! Fun to see them all!! Even tho the hayride was canceled due to excessive rain this past week, we had a wonderful time!!! They take credit cards and cash. Everything mentioned above is included in the price. There is a snack barn. We didn't eat, but items were reasonably priced, and there was lots of seating.
★★★★★Steve HoldenThis place was awesome! Compared to the overly commercialized farm experiences and cider mills that are all too common now, this place was seven better than we hoped. Staff was all super friendly, proved reasonable, and WAY more animals and experiences than any similar place we’ve visited. It’s clear these folks care about offering an outstanding experience to kids and families. We will definitely be back!
★★★★★MollieIf I could give 10 stars I would. I took my troop of Girl Scouts here yesterday and everything about this experience was wonderful. This is a family owned farm that legitimately loves their animals and loves sharing them with the community. The retro McDonald’s playground was the icing on the cake for me. We will definitely be back any opportunity we have.
★★★★★Elizabeth PetersonTHIS IS THE GREATEST FALL FAMILY DESTINATION IN NW OHIO!!!! We just got done here and I am still excited 😜 what an incredible farm/pumpkin patch/family adventure place. You got to hold and let duckies and chicks and baby bunnies, goats and chickens and geese and all kinds of animals are roaming around- pet sweet llamas and piggies and look at super cute and fun decorations all over this HUGE farm. It was SO FUN!!! I seriously had more fun than my 2 year old I think. So much to do. And everyone was incredibly helpful and happy and nice. You must come here!!!! You will have a BLAST! Oh and we also got to milk a cow, eat fresh delicious cinnamon sugar donuts, and drink an amazing cider slushy 😛 BEST PLACE EVER!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
