My family and I go here every year to grab our pumpkins and to have a nice morning out with the…read morekids. It's free to enter. They have a couple really nice patches and also some outdoor games for the kids, rocking chairs and a wooden train and boats for the kids to play on. They have hot peppers and some apple trees where you can pick and purchase fresh apples. They also have local honey that they harvest, which is really tasty! All in all, we love this place. We go for a couple hours, walk around, let the kids play games and run around, and we go to the pumpkin patch and look for pumpkins. The owners do pick pumpkins and place a lot at the entrance in case you don't want to jack with finding one on your own....(which is what I do.) Also, the owners are super nice!

We love spending time in the Walnut IA area! We stopped back in here this weekend. Somehow we…read moremissed a couple of shop on our first go around. Bear Trap Antiques was one of them... We were greeted right away when we walked in. A soft spoken older woman behind the counter who I assume was the owner. We were on our way home to the Des Moines IA metro after spending a few days in Lincoln and Omaha NE. There is a TON or stuff here! Two floors. Everything from higher end items to rough, crusty, and dusty. Lots of smalls to some larger items. I walked out with a couple of piano shaped tricket boxes and cocktail shaker. My girlfriend picked up a couple bracelets. Two things I should probably mention... There was a little standing water in the basement/bottom floor over by the glassware. Not enough that the place smelled musty or that it impacted any of the merchandise. It's an older building. It happens. Just be aware. The second thing. Cash only. There is an ATM nearby if you need it. Bear Trap Antiques is definitely worth a stop if you are in Walnut!

She was willing to negotiate price which is refreshing. I found many of the items to be reasonably priced. This is an small town antique shop not a boutique. I found it to be a little dusty...

The owner is a great guy and he's a talker like I am... Which really thrilled my girlfriend... I got "that look" before she left the store to go find a nearby bench. Lol In a street full of antique shops...Second Impressions was a nice little break to switch gears to another interest I still dabble in now and then!
