On our way from Oklahoma City to Texas, we were looking for a stop for ice cream and was lucky to find this farm. They have calves that the kids can pet. We got some ice cream which was fresh and super delicious. The price was very reasonable. If we were not rushing to the airport, we would have grabbed some milk and cheese too.

A unique winery constructed from ten decommissioned shipping containers. Menu includes winemaker Willem Johnson's signature dry reds, whites and rose handcrafted from Texas grapes along with a curated collection of sweet and sparkling wines. With plenty of outdoor seating and a beautiful view, our guests can look forward to a relaxing tasting experience. Lite fare available.
Nestled in a beautifully wooded spot just off Highway 82, the winery has been constructed with recycled shipping containers and has several patios and an abundance of outdoor space to spread out and enjoy the delicious wines crafted by an award winning winemaker. Willem Johnson - Texas Winemaker wines have won a host of awards across the US and internationally, and he is the first Texas-based winemaker to win a Sweepstake Medal (awarded to the top seven of seven-thousand entries) from The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the oldest and most prestigious blind tasting in the country. If there was not enough to love in a glass of Sangiovese, Dolcetto, "Unchained," or Nebbiolo Reserve, Kristin Mapstone's warmth and the hospitality of the staff will make your heart feel more than full. We loved our table on the second deck and felt we had escaped to an adult treehouse with a menu showcasing a nice selection of both red and white wines. Who doesn't dream of escaping to a cargo-tower in the woods to savor great wine while soaking in the magic of great hospitality?

Discover Frank Buck Zoo for a one of a kind family experience. Located in 85-acre tree filled Leonard Park which offers picnic tables, two covered pavilions, a sprawling community playground, Leonard Park Aquatic Center (seasonal), and miniature train ride (seasonal). An ideal value priced day trip destination for families and youth organizations. Discounted admission available for school groups. Located right in the heart of Gainesville, Texas, the Frank Buck Zoo has been serving the children, schools and citizens of North Central Texas and Southern Oklahoma for over 50 years. Over 75,000 guests visit the Frank Buck Zoo annually. In March of 2008 the Frank Buck Zoo became home to the World's Only Frank Buck Exhibit when Frank's daughter Barbara Buck befriended the zoo staff and donated items that belonged to her father. Resulting in a fascinating collection of camp tools used to capture animals and media memorabilia from the 1930, 1940, & 1950's. Be sure to plan your zoo arrival in time to experience the 10:30am daily public giraffe feeding. Experience a "giraffe's eye-view" of the African Savannah exhibit from an elevated walkway, the exhibit is home to eight different species of animals. Pause to take in the view at the African Outpost overlooking the water hole. Be sure to have quarters on hand so little ones can feed the friendly goats.
This is zoo is about 1 mile around in a circle. . there is a train for little children to ride outside around the playground park and swimming park. My granddaughter absolutely loves the train. the zoo is small but surprising with packs quite a bit of punch into that little area. The giraffe and zebra area is very cool. It has bears and Kangaroos and goats that the kids can feed. Just a great place for a day with kids or grandkids.

I wanted to go to this the first year they had it, and apparently it was a total disaster. Luckily, these guys know their stuff, and made the 2nd year a total delight! Have to try the lavender ice cream and lavender lemonade, it's to die for!
