Plenty of activities for kids! And those still young at heart can enjoy sitting under a shade tree listening to music, watching the kids or enjoying any of the wonderful food and sweets from the Red Barn Kitchen or famous Pie House.

We have a totally new inflatable park with a Great Jumpin’ Pumpkin, incredible Super Slide that is fun for young and a Smaller Slide for those not quite ready for the challenge of the Super Slide. The all new Bungee Run is a great way to challenge friends and family to a competition of strength and skill and provides loads of laughter for those watching the challenge.
