very nice small park for short walks (nature trails, gravel road) alone or with family. There're horses, sheep, goats, chicken, horses, corn field etc. There's a small waterfall as well. Foliage was good at this time of the year. Photos were taken yesterday: Oct. 24, 2022.

We have loved visiting Frying Pan Farm for years, so when time came to plan our son's birthday I inquired about planning, then set the date. Everyone here was so helpful in making the day memorable for all who came! We learned a bit about farm life, animals and took a wagon ride around the entire farm -- even the adults raced about how much fun they had! They set up a tent, tables and games for us to use at the party. I'd HIGHLY recommend asking about having your next party here. But if that's not your thing then definitely come with the family for a visit!
