I did my sons baptismal reception here and I am still blown away by how everything turned out…it was everything I imagined plus more. My guests were so impressed and in awe. Everyone had a great time and it was so much fun for both adults and kids. The staff were very helpful, friendly and just above and beyond to make everything comfortable. If you’re hesitant about booking your party here, just do it. You won’t regret it.

Well worth the price of a two hour two year old birthday party. My 5 and 2 year old and the toddler friends absolutely loved it. Even the parents of the kids we had at the party loved it. All we had to bring was a cake, plates, and napkins. Seriously, we will be going back. The kids were entertained, it was a great large space to roam, farm tour by Cynthia was awesome! Well worth it and wish I knew about this place sooner.

Rented a uhaul from this location. VERY courteous staff, kid friendly, petting zoo, and Tuesday's from 4-8pm, live music and food truck serving 2 dollar tacos and other items. No cover, however any donations are welcomed and all proceeds go towards the care and maintenance of their rescued animals.
