The entrance fee is well worth the time spent here and the excitement you'll see on your toddler's face the entire time. Though my toddler wasn't old enough for some of the activities she managed to run around the entire farm, through corn mazes, see all the animals, and pumpkin patch nonstop. There are food trucks as well if you want to really spend the day here which is a cool perk. The grounds are very clean and safe and there are workers monitoring the area nonstop and even parking attendants! I cannot wait to take my daughter back we both had so much fun.

Beautiful farm to visit. Tons of activities to do, three corn mazes, plenty of lawn games, and a…read morenice hay ride. My son really enjoyed his time there. They also have rotating food trucks.

Due to a random search engine when looking up a certain topic, I came across this stuffed animal…read morethat I couldn't resist to buy. And it came from this shop all the way from Connecticut. I was happy to find out that they offered shipping and so off I went and supported this small business. After the purchase, I looked over what else they sold and noticed, they have a lot of cute items! From jewelry to knick knacks and awesome greeting cards. A lot of handmade stuff. It's really a cute boutique, I plan on purchasing from them again soon. The only bummer was the cost of shipping due to the size, but the items arrived ALOT sooner than expected, being that I'm in Colorado, that was a plus. I would definitely recommend this shop. Kerri, the owner, was very sweet and quick to respond to questions I had. Thanks so much for your great service! (The bag the stuffed animals came in are awesome, too. They're like a denim-type material. Will definitely hold a lot of their toys and come in handy. Hehehe.)

I am in love with this store. I can do some basic crochet, but am a near expert level shopper. This…read moreshop is gorgeous, beautiful yarn is everywhere and it feels very relaxed. There are a lot of samples of work decorating the store. There's even a large table on one side with "Open Table Time" to work on projects. The yarn is higher quality, with all different colors, textures, fibers... It is perfect for so many projects, time allowing! There are also a lot of kits (crochet your own dog, anyone?) for knitting, crochet, and wool. I wish I could describe it more, but seeing is involved so much in truly appreciating how beautiful everything is. This shop is for anyone who loves their fiber arts.

Knit & Pearls is a great yarn shop in Central CT and definitely worth visiting! The yarn selection…read moreis very good with frequent sales and lower prices than you will find anywhere else for top quality wool and other fibers. The owner Susanne is truly an enthusiastic knitter and this shop cannot be beat for samples of knitting! If you love to see a finished garment in the yarn you are considering, this is the place! I've never seen a shop that produces a full size sample per month! Amazing! Also this shop is extremely well organized! I am somewhat biased as I did teach crochet there and loved every minute of teaching at Knit & Pearls. Ample parking and it's next to Luke's Donut OMG super hot coffee and delish donut holes so beware. Watch for lively yarn events and trunk shows- you are sure to make wonderful fiber friends here.

What a cute place! We tried somewhere different this year and we found this. It does have a price…read moreof $6 per person and kids 3 and under are free. You walk in and have a barn area with cute decor and a little mini haunted house (nothing moving or too scary) inside. You can purchase little items like mini pumpkins or a cookie. Outside there is a lot of stuff! Corn maze, slingshot corn into the lake, chill by a fire, play giant checkers, or look at the sunflowers. They also have a grain bin basketball game and other fun stuff. I saw there was an ice cream area further down around the corner with the same name as the farm, but it wasn't open when we went :( there was some type of food truck in the entrance with fried dough and such.

Great place, great selection of gifts, and a great friendly owner. Well worth stopping by!read more

I went to try and drop off pumpkins. My web search had told me it was okay. The woman working at…read morethe barn told me that it was okay. And then another woman came roaring down the driveway yelling at me about pumpkins. She said I should have called. I said no problem I'll take the pumpkin back. She continued to argue with me about the fact that I should have called when I was very calm telling her I'll take the pumpkin it doesn't matter. I was just telling her why i thought Pumpkins were wanted. ​ she ranted at me that I should have called first even though I had already told her multiple times I would take the pumpkin back and I wasn't trying to argue. Finally she yelled at me "get off my property!" Totally bizarre. Anyways don't try and give them pumpkins.

It's an adorable New England town that looks like it was plucked straight from a movie. When you go inside, the store is so cozy. It's packed full of books and bookish merch, but so well set, there is plenty of room to explore. There are books in every nook and cranny, sorted by genre, with bookseller recommendations and plenty of signed copies. The booksellers are very knowledgeable and helpful too. If you are looking for a gift for an avid reader, they will definitely be able to help you find the perfect present. This is going to be a permanent stop for me every time I head through Connecticut.
