You and your children can run free and wild, take wagon rides, enjoy the Corn Shute slide, and much more.
As Spring turns to Summer, families who have enjoyed the adventure farm can return for our U-Pick crops and flower experiences. As the season continues, families can return to explore our 5-acre corn maze or sunflower fields in the fall.

Three sides are easy and beginner friendly while two are slightly harder. The final and hardest side to our Silo Climbing wall is available for anyone looking for the ultimate challenge!
The Obstacle Course is an on-the-ground alternative to our Aerial Adventure course for those who prefer to be safe on the ground.
