Our take?

First off, just the DRIVE to get there was AMAZING! Totally worth the trip! The Farmpark itself had all kinds of farm animals and things to do. They teach how to make cheese and show cows being milked, as well as letting the kids hand milk a cow (we missed that by a few minutes). There are also pony rides, for a couple dollars. They show basically how a farm runs, but in ways that kids can really get a hands on understanding. It was really neat! There is a schedule of what to do, so be sure to grab that and plan your day!
