MAP OF THE GROUNDS
AGtivity Farm
The AGtivity Farm is the place to be! This farm gets little ones involved with planting seeds, gathering eggs, and milking Nora! Their earnings from a successful season of farming can be used to purchase a snack at the general store after tending to the barnyard animals. Then head over see our dairy experts demonstrate a traditional cow-milking experience. Don’t miss the live chicks and sliding ducks! The AGtivity Farm engages kids with hands-on experience and appreciation of the time and energy that the American farmer puts into bringing food to the table. Open daily until 10pm. AGTIVITY HALL
