★★★★★Kristen Lindblom HaleThis school is amazing. The teachers are so kind, helpful, and really do enjoy their work. My son attended school here for 3 years and it was the best decision!!
★★★★★Sam BWe come here for Maple Day and love it. So much fun. Plus you can come just hike the trail.
★★★★★Lily ConwayGreat place for kids. Great hiking and easy for kids to do. Also a cute garden kids made. A music area and a place to explore and this cute ribbon window there. Indoor closed but outdoor open. Great nature walks where kids can explore.
★★★★★Robert BarillotFirst visit was today for the corn festival. This place is loaded with family fun. Kids had blast, actually not a thing I could complain about. Pricing was reasonable, four hours and we spent about $50, with which we got some food and drinks, a pony ride, a hay ride, some pumpkins and more. Property is gorgeous and the people were so very friendly. We will go back.
★★★★★Kira LaFosse-BakerThis property is amazing. Beautiful grounds and trails that are super educational and accessible for kids and families as well as a great place for a walk and a picnic for adults. The EcoZone inside the main building is a ton of fun with lots of cool animals (mostly turtles at the moment but so many different kinds!) and information about our local ecosystem. There's a beautiful garden outside that you can walk through and enjoy and there's an owl and a hawk behind the building that are very awesome to observe (quietly). They host a number of fun programs and events throughout the year and they run an amazing nature-based preschool program. There's truly something for everyone here! PS there's a South Shore Quest here that's a lot of fun :)
