There's a petting zoo, fake cow to milk, hay beds to jump on, pig racing, corn mazes, etc. The owners were very friendly and answered every one of our questions. They took us out to the pumpkin patch and you could tramp around and choose whatever you wanted. They even carried it back to the wagon for me. It was pretty inexpensive too. I definitely recommend it, especially for families with young children. My 2 year old did not want to leave after 3 hours!"
