We did spend nearly four hours here last Saturday despite it being a bit chilly. I will say they finally have a lot more to do, and I appreciate the updates they've made to make it more of a day trip than a quick trip. We rode all the rides, slid the slides, and hit both train/hayracks. We spent our lunch in the food barn and got some discount hoodies and tops in the market. We also got 2 over prices pumpkins but when in rome. You can't leave SBP without their very tart apple cider donuts. so good! We'll continue to come back, even if it's a a pricey day.

My boys love visiting each year to see what's new, and visit their old favorites. As some other reviews said, yes the price has went up, but so have the amount of activities. It's still much more affordable than other options in the area for the amount of attractions they have. I always appreciate how friendly and helpful the staff are each time we're here. Definitely recommend coming earlier in the day to get your money's worth!

From making a reservation, picking out our ceramic plate, choosing colors and a design, and then waiting about a week while they glazed and fired it. They even gave me a call when it was ready for pickup. We made a "Cookies for Santa" plate and it turned out so cute. The staff was incredibly helpful, too. We struggled to get a good baby handprint, and one of the employees suggested doing a footprint instead, genius and way easier! I'll definitely be coming back!

From ceramics to canvas to candles, there is something fun...for all artistic levels. The staff there were extremely helpful, guiding us every step of the way.

We will definitely be back for another round!

Heck, I can remember going to it as a kid, teenager, etc. Aside from the new location, not much has changed. Tons of art and artisan vendors from across the region, all selling unique goods that you might even earn a spot in your home if the price is right. There is also live music, entertainment, and quite a few food options. All free to attend, baking in the summer heat. Gotta love it.

There are so many things by the two smaller greenhouses if you're looking for something specific.

The price is comparable to other local nurseries but the service seems much kinder and personable. Inside, they have tons of seed packets and gardening supplies or gifts.

The staff provided care instructions and then potted it for me at no extra charge!

I guess since we are a younger couple we look like thieves because only the young whipper snappers are gonna steal some chocolate. The lady giving out samples refused to give us any sample, and for our remainder time in the store she decided she would take it upon herself to keep a nice close eye on us. After picking out the things we wanted and buying them (the girl at the cash register was very sweet) we went to walk out of the store. On our way out my boyfriend picked up one of the chocolates and then set it back down. The lady who had been watching us thought he had stolen the chocolate and then made my boyfriend open our bag and show her we didn't take the chocolate and that everything we had bought was ours. At this point both of were pretty livid and after this little ordeal we decided to continue our shopping elsewhere. So if you're a young couple or a millennial you might want to try another chocolate shop, or at least be ready to be refused samples and followed around.

But when you get inside and see the painted walls, gorgeous windows, vaulted ceiling, and the crisp white altar that stands out among the swaths of color around it, you'll be blown away. I live in Omaha and is it a bit outside town? For sure. But it's definitely worth the drive to see this beautiful work of art. I was just an attendee at a wedding, but if I had to help someone choose a venue, the Malvern Art Church would be one of my top recommendations!
