A small working farm with an animal pen, pony rides and a pony carousel, plus tractors and hay bales to clamber on. Parking is free, and rides and crafts cost a little extra. Reviewers say it is smaller than expected but held young children happily. Seasonal events run in spring and autumn.
A working family farm up Bouquet Canyon with a petting zoo, pony rides, gem mining, a farm train and a giant slide that make it a hit with younger kids. It really shines in fall when the Harvest Festival and pumpkin patch open with free admission and parking. Activities are pay-per-ride, so bring cash or a card and check the calendar since core hours are weekends.
