So, yes it costs $13 for admission, which I feel is slightly pricey but when we go we always get a full day on the farm in so it's worth it. You begin with a guided tour which includes chicken catching, baby chicks & ducks, goats, pigs, cow milking, a pony ride for the kids & a wagon ride to name some. Then you get to go off & hang out pretty much wherever you'd like. We spend the majority of our visit catching the chickens (careful, it's addicting), visiting the baby chicks & ducks that are under heat bulbs, and playing with the kittens. There are benches to sit at if you bring a picnic type lunch so you can stay as long as you'd like. They've got a pumpkin patch in Fall, and along with the oranges ones, they've got gorgeous white & green ones for sale. Weddings! I recently attended a wedding here and it was spectacular! I'd get remarried just to throw a party in their barn. The food was excellent (I'm not sure if it was catered in or not), the way they decorated everything inside and out was magical, and the amount of space for guests seemed never ending since you can mingle outside or in. The couple getting married had their ceremony here as well. It was set up in a back field and they brought guests to the picturesque setting by wagon. For those unable to access the wagon, they had golf carts bringing people to that area as well. I honestly can say I have never seen a more gorgeous wedding, and they also knew how to make it fun & exciting for everyone. Overall, I recommend checking this farm out at least once. It's a great, interactive, family friendly venue to visit that creates lasting memories.

My kiddos are 2 and 4, and we also went with some cousins who range ages 7-10. The takeaway: this place is nice for all ages. My first impression was how well-kept Kelley's is! For being a farmstead, you'd assume the space to be a bit more untidy/dirty, but they do a fantastic job. We entered into the initial barn where we found a bunch of baby farm animals! There were plenty of staff members about helping kids take turns holding animals if they chose to. Oh and there is a big hand-wash station, which is of course appreciated. As we wandered on to the next space, we found tons of outdoor yard-like games and activities - everything from hula-hoop'ing horses and duck tik-tac-toe, to outdoor bowling lanes and ride-on trikes. Safe to say our kids were stoked! Another bonus: the huge corn pit. It was so busy while we were there, but it's big enough that there was still tons of space for kids to all play at once. It was filled with toys, trucks, and buckets too. The best kind of sensory overload. We then wandered into the next/lower barn, and to our surprise: tons more animals to interact with! Cute chickitties, little pigs & mama pigs, goats, chickens, the list goes on. It was kind of a shock how well-mannered all the animals, meaning at no point did it feel unsafe to interact with them. Overall a wonderful day out a Kelley's Farmstead. I definitely recommend checking it out and supporting the nice family that owns and runs the place!

Upon entry, you'll pass lots of fun photo-ops like giant pumpkins, scarecrows, and hay barrels. They have a giant barn front and center with pumpkins for sale, along with honey and a few other local products. My kids were most drawn to the big area filled with animals - from goats and cows, to peacocks and chickens, lots to see. It's a 'feed at your own risk' scenario so we just stuck to petting them. They also have a few playgrounds to climb on, a big ol' corn maze that we thoroughly enjoyed, and horse-drawn wagon rides! My son was adamant we took a ride, and with it being only $3/person to ride, we thought that was a nice deal. The wagon took us through the colorful woods and across the massive pumpkin patch where we could pick our own to purchase on the way out. We've been to many of farms like these over the years, some super done up and spectacular, some smaller like Bulitz. Would rate this one a thumbs up and worth a little visit if you're in the area.

They had a crow, which is uncommon, but the story about imprinting on a human makes sense for why it's in captivity now. The prairie dog and badger exhibits were fun for kids to climb into the tunnel to get a close view, but the plastic needs replacing to see better. We tried to do the giraffe feeding, but since they had their main food baskets filled, they weren't interested in coming to the tower for other food, so we gave up. Overall it was a decent size zoo and we spent 2-3 hours looking at all the animals.

The NEW Zoo (NEW = Northeast Wisconsin) is small enough that you won't lose your kids, yet big enough to spend a few hours exploring. Relatively clean and easy to navigate. They could use a few more "you are here" signs around the place, but they do give out paper maps where you enter the park. My favorite were the giraffes. You can feed them for $2. They walk right up to the platform... pretty cool to look at them right in the eye! Unfortunately it was mid day and a lot of the animals were snoozing. Still saw enough to make it worth it!

The landscape opens up beautifully as you approach, and by the time you pull in, you're already in the right headspace for a great afternoon. Lakeside Park sits on the southern shore of Lake Winnebago, and the moment you step in, you understand why locals love it so much. Mindtrip The Lighthouse This was the highlight of our visit. The lighthouse is the city's signature attraction and most photographed structure in town -- built in 1933, with a flagstone base and a wooden staircase that winds up through the tower to a 40-foot observation deck. We walked all the way to the top and the views over the park and lake were stunning. It's free and open for self-guided tours from May through October 15, dawn to dusk. No excuses not to climb it. Fond du Lac Fond du Lac What's waiting for your next visit We only scratched the surface -- next time we're coming back to explore the full park. There's so much more: Vintage miniature train rides & antique carousel Petting zoo Multiple playgrounds including an all-access area Splash pad Volleyball, softball, picnic shelters Kayak/canoe rentals & full marina Flower gardens & color-changing fountain Paved walking paths along the lake Many features are completely free -- the lighthouse climb, petting zoo, and playgrounds -- making this one of the best bang-for-zero-bucks stops in Wisconsin. Mindtrip It's beautiful in scenery -- the trees, waterways, bridges, and the lighthouse overlooking Lake Winnebago all come together in a way that feels genuinely special. We'll be back to do the full loop around the park. Fond du Lac, you surprised us.

Many of the kittens were trying to get away from the kids but they grabbed them anyway. Not a huge deal and overall I think the animals are well taken care of.

We loved walking around this large zoo and being able to interact with so many of the animals. It was nice that we were able to buy food to feed the animals when we purchased our admission. We arrived about mid-day, so that meant it was feeding time. After the animals were fed (what looked like maybe Panera breads and rolls) they were so loud and lively! It was really a cool thing to see. If you have small children with you they might be scared by the loud sounds, but we did see a lot of kids there who were enjoying their visit. The little petting area at the end was a nice bonus too. The attendant was very friendly and told us about some of the animals. Not a bad way to spend a morning or afternoon if you're in the area, just make sure to wear good walking shoes!
