The corn maze is fun for kids and adults. No muddy paths and it does seem a bit more challenging than I was expecting. It may be easier for kids to get through. There is an employee standing around the maze to help if someone gets lost. There were several craft vendors as well as a food truck during our visit. In the apple house, we tried the caramel popcorn, apple slushie, and some cider. All delicious. The apple crops overall had some challenges due to the weather this year but we were still able to get a lot of apples off the trees. Fun place for the kiddos.

We accidentally walked into an area with zero signs, no fences, and absolutely no indication that it was off-limits--unless they expect guests to be psychic. Cue the staff coming at us like we were trespassing on sacred land. Rude, confrontational, and totally uncalled for. We hadn't even made it to the market yet, but after that lovely welcome, we turned right back around and bought nothing. If you're into surprise attitude and awkward standoffs instead of produce, this place is for you. Otherwise, steer clear--plenty of other farms around that don't treat potential customers like criminals for walking on grass.

My husband and…read moreI went this weekend, hours are limited, and had fun though we were likely the only people there without kids! There are about 30 rows, two sided, full of blueberry bushes with so many berries, it didn't feel crowded at all. They also sell by the pint, we did the math and the price is the same. Would recommend the experience and taking the time to do something different and pick them yourself. The berries are so good, we've been enjoying eating them daily and are almost out already! I made a blueberry coffee cake that turned out amazing too. Hope to return this season!

It didnt open till 10 and closed at 4. They have gift shop selling some Lavender products and cup of cold Lavender lemonade was 4 dollars. Others raved about the lemonade so we tried it. Personally it just tasted like lemonade from concentrate but maybe i lavk the sophisticated pallet to appreciate. Ive been to other Lavender fields and this is similar. Pics usually look better than in petson because the colors are tweaked with editing. In other words its not vivid or as pretty as you see in ads and pictures.

This is more of a lavender GARDEN--the website is extremely misleading. When we arrived, we were…read moreimmediately taken aback to find just several measly rows of lavender bushels. Nothing picturesque like we were expecting. In addition, it costs $40 to take a picture with a camera. After some searching when we finished, we found that information on the website. However, Sunset Ridge needs to advertise this better. A worker came by on a vehicle to tell us this information and returned our politeness with rudeness. She snappily said "I don't care" when we explained that we weren't actual photographers, just some girls with a camera. This "farm" needs to clean up its act!

This is a very nice garden for not only the little ones, but the kids. It is actually a garden…read morewithin a larger garden. It is in Glenwood Gardens and covers 12 acres. They have a ton of parking and admission is $5.25 in season and $2.75 during winter months. However, since it is in a another garden then you will have to pay that admission too. I think it is $3. No one was at the gate when I came there, so I did not have to pay it. This garden is well maintained and has lots to see. There is a prairie and nicely paved trails. The highlight of the place is the storybook looking area called Discovery Garden. It has Trolley Garden, a spot were small trains run along the tracks. They had a haunted train and a Thomas train among others, running the tracks. The center piece of the area is the tree house called the Discovery Tree. My small one found it a bit creepy. The house is very nice and in the form of a face. You will find creature (not real ones) in there like an owl, bats, and an opossum. If you look closely, you can see gold fish and tadpoles in the water running past the tree house. My littles also liked the Garden Workshop, which is right next to the tree house. They have a few small animals in there like a turtle, a tarantula, a snake, and cockroaches. Outside of the workshop you can make it rain and pump water into buckets where you can then use it to water nearby plants. The staff that works there is very friendly. Off to the corner of the area is a small pastel colored house that kids can go in and have little tea parties. There is a large wizards hat that kids can play in and a small outdoor amphitheater/storybook area. There is also a misting tunnel shaped like a caterpillar that leads to the butterfly garden. The ground is very slippery through the tunnel because of the mist, so if you do use it, please be careful. Of course the garden has a gifts shop. That is where you pay for admission. They have a small play area in there with a toy train set up and an interactive machine as well. If you get hungry, don't worry, they have a small cafe. I can't speak much about it though because I did not check it out. This was a nice spot for me and my littles. They had lots of fun in the tree house and watching the trains. We spent about 2 hours there. This place is very picturesque and as calming as a place that kids run around can be.

They have purple lights for its eyes, too. -Trolley Garden: Four, small scale trains run on tracks surrounding some of your favorite storybook characters. Of course, there is Thomas the Tank Engine who was always a favorite of my son when he was younger. -Vegetable Garden: Raised beds will put you at eye level with common and not-so-common vegetables. -Grandma's Scent Garden: You'll be surrounded by smelly plants for your pretend tea party here.
