The Exploration Gateway is off of 12th St and right on Sippo Lake.

There are several short trails branching off from the building and parking lots, at least some of which are stroller friendly. There is also a small playground.

Allison was phenomenal to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was so organized, and her attention to detail made everything come together seamlessly. On the day of the event, she truly ran the show--keeping us on track with the timeline and making sure everything went smoothly. The bartenders were amazing, too! They felt like part of our group of friends, which made the whole atmosphere even more fun and personal. We danced all night and had a blast! We can't thank everyone at Nickajack Farms enough for orchestrating such a fun event. Their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that we had the best possible experience. A huge thank you to Allison especially, planning with you was so much fun, and you helped make our "Happily Ever After" celebration one to remember! Highly recommend Nickajack Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and an incredible team to bring their vision to life. Thank you again for making our day so special!

We live up near Akron, and before recently, we had never known about this beautiful farm. Fall Festival was so much fun - perfect for our 1 year old and I'd imagine fun all the way thru school agers. Corn pits, short corn mazes, friendly farm animals, slides and playgrounds, and activity areas galore made our little one's day. He loved seeing the resident rabbit hopping around the farm. Beautiful decor, treats, and gifts were inside the temperature controlled barn near an outdoor pumpkin store and even a small area for the littlest ones to pick their favorite tiny pumpkin. We brought friends for Christmas on the Farm, and everyone had a great time. We werent sure what to expect, but everything was organized and done really nicely while keeping a good pace. We started out with ice skating in the main admissions barn, followed by decorating cookies in Mrs. Claus' barn. She gave us lots of time as our 6, 4, and 2 year olds iced cookies, telling us about different things, reading stories, and engaging the kids. Next, we ended up in Santa's barn which was nicely decorated to look authentic. He told the older kids some fun tricks while slowly warming up my cautious two year old. Before long, he had gotten my son's attention by giving him fives and my son was in his arms at his tool bench helping him build a project with a toy hammer. SC spent a lot of time with our children which was a special bonus, and afterwards they got to participate in an "indoor snowball fight" and make reindeer food amongst other crafts. On our way back to the main barn, we picked up the fresh, hot cocoa and cider included in our admissions. We will be back to Nickajack for future events especially in the fall and at Christmas. The Christmas event just blew us away, especially for only $12 admission. If you're looking for fun for the younger set in the fall or an absolutely magical (or convincing) visit from Santa, look no further.

Our stay was nothing short of extremely disappointing. My kids had been looking forward to this…read moretrip all summer. They were so excited to finally have the chance to visit the great Jellystone Resort, only to leave feeling let down and disappointed. Friday, after we had already put a considerable amount of money into the arcade, we discovered that the ticket machine was broken. Instead of making an effort to get it fixed, the solution was simply to put an "Out of Order" sign on it. My kids were understandably upset, and unfortunately, they weren't the only ones. Throughout the weekend, I saw countless children walking out of the arcade crying, especially the younger kids who simply didn't understand why they couldn't get their tickets or use something they had been looking forward to. Then there were the water attractions. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, numerous water obstacles were closed. These are some of the attractions that make this resort what it is supposed to be known for, yet they were constantly unavailable. We ended up spending most of our time in the pool area because there simply wasn't much else we could do. It's incredibly frustrating to spend this much money on a family vacation and then find that many of the attractions you paid for aren't actually available. There's also a huge sign proudly advertising that the resort serves Hershey's ice cream. After standing in line for nearly an hour, we were finally told that everything was sold out. And this wasn't an isolated incident. Numerous times throughout the weekend, we waited in lines only to eventually be told that whatever we were trying to purchase was sold out. After a while, it became incredibly frustrating and made us wonder why the resort was continuing to advertise and sell experiences that they clearly weren't prepared to provide. Our experience at the restaurant was just as disappointing. There were only four tables with customers while we were there, yet it still took approximately 90 minutes to receive our deep-fried food. Ninety minutes for food that should not have taken anywhere near that long is simply unacceptable, especially when you're traveling with kids. We also paid for a glitter tattoo for our kids and almost didn't get it because there was only one person doing them. I felt bad for the employee because he was clearly overwhelmed, but one person trying to handle that many children was never going to work. Once again, the kids were the ones who ended up disappointed. And finally, our Monday morning "wake-up call" came courtesy of lawn mowers starting at 7:00 a.m. I understand that the resort has to get the property cleaned up and prepared for the next group of guests, and I understand that there is a checkout time. But waking up families at 7:00 in the morning with lawn mowers is not the way to leave guests with a positive final impression. There are more considerate ways to get people moving without making them feel like they are being pushed out. The most disappointing part of all of this is that my kids had been looking forward to this trip for months. We spent a significant amount of money expecting a fun family vacation and an experience that matched what Jellystone promises. Instead, we spent much of the weekend dealing with closed attractions, sold-out items, long waits, broken equipment, and disappointed children. This was supposed to be the "best vacation ever." Unfortunately, it was anything but. I truly hope management takes these concerns seriously, because this resort has the potential to be a great family destination. But based on our experience, it is nowhere near the experience it claims to provide. We left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and, most of all, sorry that our kids' long-awaited vacation didn't turn out the way they had hoped.

Good place to bring a group with different tastes as everybody will be able to find something. The beer selection is also quite nice with some hard to find craft beer options. The monthly tasting paddle is a pretty good deal and a nice way to sample four different beers. The only reason for the 4 star instead of the 5 is that the service can be slow at times. We have waited 45 min to an hour before for our dinner after being seated, so I'd recommend going during the slower hours if possible to avoid the rush. Finally, they were recently added to the door dash app and their packaging was top notch almost catering level quality.
