    This spot is wild!…read more We FINALLY took a trip to Action Wildlife today and it was ABSOLUTELY worth the drive. There are multiple spaces to explore when you come in. First, YES you want the big feed pail. Lots of animals. When you first drive in you come upon the museum, gift shop, and play area. They still had their corn pit set up in the play area and that was a big hit with our little one. What you see out in front of you to access is the walking/driving section. You can choose to take this walk or park your car as you visit the animal areas. It goes all the way from the small capybara enclosure to highland cows and so many in between! If you drive straight back you will get to the big green barn near the blue silos. That bar is the petting barn and where you will do encounters. We did the baby highland cow encounter and got to spend a half hour with Hank. Feeding, brushing, petting, and just enjoying his company. We brought in our 1 year old and she loved it! As you leave that barn there is another play area to the left and if you follow it past the camels you'll see the sign for hayride and drive through safari. You can go right down that small road and it'll lead you to a drive around where you're supposed to stay in the car and drive on the enclosure to see a bunch of animals. We didn't do the hayride but it's back there. It loops all the way back, so no worries about figuring out how to get back. We felt that this was BEYOND worth our time and loved all of the up close interactions. Will be returning!

    Who knew you could see animals that I thought could only be seen on Safari right here in CT!! So…read moredarn cool. Zebra camels ! We loved it had such a great time. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful animals that looks so happy to be there. These folks are doing a great job. Would highly recommend!

    Falcon Ridge Folk Festival

    Falcon Ridge Folk Festival

    I've been attending the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival every year since 2001, and I drive eleven hours…read moreeach way to do it. Barefoot. In the snow. Uphill both ways. Just kidding. :) But I probably would if I had to. It used to take place the fourth weekend of July, but this year it was the first weekend of August. Probably best to watch the website for next and subsequent years' dates. Falcon Ridge is a three-day-long festival of contemporary folk music. I qualify it as "contemporary" to distinguish it from traditional folk, which you can find there to some degree, as well, but the roster centers mostly on singer-songwriters who perform their own work or develop new ways of presenting older tunes, along with string-driven bands. Cajun, bluegrass, and occasionally even polka are represented, as well. In addition to the main stage, there's a family stage with entertainment for the little ones, a dance tent featuring contra and other kinds of dancing until 2am, and a workshop stage for a more intimate experience. Tickets at the gate are around $40-50 for one day or $130-160 for the weekend, but they're much cheaper online ahead of time. The festival offers camping for the weekend across a huge expanse of farmland. RV and tent camping are both welcome, and the camping area is much more comfortable than at some other music festivals I've been to. There's plenty of room for groups to spread out, though the area nearest to the stages and the flattest ground get filled up pretty early. There's no modern plumbing or electrical hookups (it is just a farm), but the site crew volunteers build a fairly decent set of showers that operate by hose. Hike your way "up the hill" and you can find all-night stages set up in the campground itself for nighttime concerts organized independently from (but still permitted by) the festival itself. Though the scheduled stages in the main festival area run from roughly 10am to 2am (or to 6:30pm on the last day), it's possible to find music playing somewhere or another for a solid and unbroken 72 hours. Sometimes you have to remind yourself to sleep. I've been volunteering since 2004 and have met some awesome, amazing people by doing so. I look forward to seeing them year after year. When I head out from Ohio to get there, people ask me, "You're going alone?" and I have to say, "Only until I get there!" Volunteering gets you free admission and two meals a day. Different crews come with different demands on your time, but they'll all leave you plenty of time to enjoy the festival. The food and craft area has inexplicably shrunk in the past few years, but all my favorite food stands are still there where they've always been. There are food options for everyone from vegans to carnivores and everywhere in between. Absolutely obligatory (unless you're avoiding sugar, wheat, or chocolate, I suppose) are the chippers from Taste Budd's: chocolate chip cookie bars with the taste of a cookie and the density of a firm brownie. There's one vegan option, while dairy/egg eaters have a selection of a few varieties. There are two quibbles I have with the festival, which are shared by most festival regulars I know. One is not the festival's fault, but it's something to be aware of if you come. Although cellular phone service works mostly ok there, data service is nil, not just at the festival itself but in the entire town and surrounding area. I couldn't check into Falcon Ridge on the Yelp app because by the time I drove out far enough to get the signal I needed, Yelp told me I was too far away from the festival to check in. So although phone calls can go through, most people found text messages to be slow as muck, and most smartphone apps were useless. Not a tragedy if you're prepared for it. It might be questionable why you'd want to come out and be rustic for the weekend yet spend the whole time on your phone. The other quibble most definitely is the festival's responsibility, and that is performer booking. Now... I don't have any problem with the specific performers who do play regularly. I love and appreciate them. But aside from the Emerging Artists Showcase, the new blood is just veeeeeeery slow to trickle in. To be clear, I'm not talking about this year. This year was the 25th anniversary, and artists who'd been regular go-to acts in the past decade or so were plentiful, and that was to be expected. But the stagnant performer list has been the norm for some time. It is my understanding (though I could be wrong) that booking is currently done by one person. I think that it's the kind of task that could be better taken on by a full committee who can all contribute their varying tastes and battle it out to keep the performer list diverse and interesting for festival-goers from 10 to 100. But in case you couldn't tell, I'll still be going back for music each year regardless of who's playing.

    First, to the reviewer who complained it is hot, it is an outdoor festival. Sometimes it's sunny…read moreand hot, sometimes it's cold, sometimes (often times) it rains, and this can all be in one day. The festival has no control over that. (Oh how I wish it did!) There is a designated handicapped seating area on the side of the stage and all acts have sign language interpreters. The festival is held on the grounds of a working farm, so depending on the weather the terrain may be difficult for some with mobility issues. My husband and I have attended every year but one since 2000, and have camped on site for most of them. It is a wonderful, family oriented, community-minded festival. There are lots of activities and performers geared toward children and interesting craft vendors. Reviewer Amy C. gave a great overview of the facilities. There are portapotties (including wheelchair accessible ones) and they are cleaned often. Make-shift showers (with warm water!) are available in the camping area. Food can be expensive but you are free to bring your own. You may not have heard of many of the performers but if you like folk music you are sure to find a few new discoveries as well as more well-known favorites such as past headliners as Judy Collins, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Richard Thompson. Falcon Ridge is unlike any other festival we've attended. Give it a try.
