Park

Opening
date is April 28 this year, this quaint recreation of a
1920’s farm gives children a glimpse of what farm life
was like. The Farm Park has become a treasured destination
for thousands of children and families since opening in

Watch as
the giant gold fish surface in one of the three ponds.
Purchase a feed cone for the many animals on site, from
chickens, turkeys and geese, donkeys, cows and pigs.
All exhibits close at 2:30pm.
Slide
down the Silo Slide in the barn; play on one of the
playgrounds and shop in the country store. Have a snack
or lunch in the concession area to round out your visit.
A great place for birthday parties, let the Farm Park
do the work by calling to schedule your child’s
party. School groups are welcome also, with sack lunches
available by phoning ahead. This is also the site of
our annual Witches’ Walk in October, a not so scary
Halloween adventure. |
