This is a fun fair and one certainly steeped in agriculture traditions. We recently attended for…read morethe first time and enjoyed ourselves, but there were a few quirks we ran across that I will get to later. Depending on your age and when you go, many of the carnival rides are included in your admission which helps justify its $22/person price (for kids over 2... ouch!) It is nice that they don't nickel and dime you over every ride, but that is pretty expensive if you don't want to go on the rides and there isn't any other option. They have lots of areas to watch animals (cows, horses, sheep, chickens, rabbits, etc.) prepare for judging. There are buildings set aside for other interest, such as the model railroad exhibit, the carnival except, and the farm equipment area. Some were locked up when we arrived and we never got to see them all. That was disappointing. Plenty of food was available for sale with all the usual suspects present and even a few new ones that surprised me (pickle pizza? Um, pass). Inexpensive food was also for sale by the local Fire Department for those who wanted to save a few bucks. Many places have similar things at different prices (I saw corn dogs for sale for $5 and $10 each... I wonder what the difference was). Now, a few odd things. The doors open at 9AM and when we got there it was deserted. Literally, we walked through an empty carnival. Past food vendors that were closed, past rides that weren't always securely shut, past buildings that were locked tight. What was going on? It turns out that the rides and food open at 11AM but you can go early for... I dunno. Perhaps they open at 9AM so that the farm animal exhibitors can get an early start on judging. It was very eerie to walk through an abandoned carnival and it reminded me of a Scooby Doo episode. In sum, we had a good time trying out a new fair but I am not sure if we will be back. For those who enjoy the rides and go in the afternoon, you will probably have a blast.

They offer discounts on certain days to veterans and seniors; I don't remember who else. The rides are included in the admission price, and they offer a weekly pass which is less than an admission for one day at a water park. These small communities do an amazing job. Every year less families volunteer to help out their communities. Please encourage your family to give back.

I have been to this location several times over the last year (since it first opened), and each time I had been impressed with the cleanliness and tidiness. Today was a very different story. As soon as we entered I could see that the place was a mess. Toys were all over the place, nothing had been neatened up, and the foam floor pieces were buckling in several spots. We arrived at about 2:30pm and we were the only customers, so it seemed odd that it was such a mess. The sand pit area is overrun with toys and the kitchen area was trashed. The round sitting bench that used to spin no longer does (we were told it broke), and there is a random metal climbing dome with a slide that has paper and tape on it, seemingly covering screws or something. For the price of admission (25.00), I can't say I will hurry back unless I learn that things are being better maintained. I never understand when places start to grow, but as they do, they let other things go. The appeal of the Littles Play Cafe was the trust I had in the cleanliness and maintenance, but today I lost my faith. I hope they do better, because when it is good, it's a nice place for little ones to play.

As a parent, the first things I look for are cleanliness and safety, and this place excels at both. It is incredibly well-maintained, spotless, and designed in a way that lets the boys have a blast while I actually feel relaxed. The onsite cafe is also such a convenient touch--we always grab the boys smoothies for the ride home! What really sets this business apart, though, are the owners. Michael and his wife are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. They truly care about the families coming through their doors and make you feel right at home every time.

When I was a child my father would take the family to his company's Clam Steam outing at Krause's…read moreon the Mohawk River. We did that for many years. Then as adults, my wife and I would occasionally dine at Krause's restaurant which had been added to their outdoor pavilion complex. We always looked forward to ordering and enjoying the Clam Steam Basket. Each basket contained some chicken parts, potato, sausage, corn on the cob, and steamed clams. At some point, I learned there was another place called Lanthier's Grove that also booked clam steams/bakes in a seasonal pavilion setting. Until this week, I'd never had the opportunity to have been invited to an event there. Along comes my 60th High School reunion and Lanthier's is identified as the planned location. This was as good as any to have a reason to experience Lanthier's. The setup looks like it's capable of accommodating maybe a thousand people. A good amount of grassland parking and long rows of picnic-like tables under side-less pavilions. I'm sure that any event organizer is given ample opportunity to customize the food offerings for their gathering. Ours had hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage & peppers, chicken wings, clam chowder, potato salad, coleslaw, steamed clams, and a raw clam bar. The raw clam bar and the beverage bar each had their own respective pavilion a short walk from the main pavilion with the food and tables. A separate soda shack was located between the raw clam bar and the beverage bar and was more popular with the local honeybees than with the event attendees. My initial disappointment was that we were not receiving the traditional "steam basket" of food that I've known all these years. But signs above the food counter identifying the various stations at which each food was being served, and friendly staff at those stations, made the self-service ordering and pickup of your food prompt and convenient. I believe I may have missed an announcement when the steamed clams became available as I was trying to alternate the sipping of my soda with the honeybees. About an hour later I did hear the announcement that there were still some steamed clams available at the shacks behind the food pavilion. I promptly went there to get a dozen. I was surprised to be informed that I would need to pay $11. But like I said earlier, that's apparently the plan our event organizers agreed to. My steamed clams were overdone. Most likely because I missed the first announcement when they became available. My wife said there were plenty of clams in the chowder, but it had no flavor. The sausage & pepper sandwich I had was very good. The raw clams were clean, but you shouldn't be surprised if you occasionally get a shell chip in your slurp. Overall, the rekindling of high school friendships made for a very enjoyable experience at Lanthier's.
