My husband and I were here last night for their flashlight corn maze event. When I suggested to my husband he just kinda looked at me...like yea right. Soooo much fun (even the husband)! It was great to see families out having some fun and laughing after a number of items being canceled this year because of COVID-19. The gift shop has some very nice items. The bakery items we tried were very good. The apple cookie, the raspberry white chocolate (our favorite) cookie and an apple bar.
