You know it gets busy when when the local law enforcement is out there. September is not bad, but the officer said it gets crazy in October. According to a staff member and the web site you can not pick apple but you can pick pumpkins. It was still busy but a lot of room in the parking lot. I was in the store so I did not see the other area. Of what I saw, the other area seemed to be hopping and energetic. From what I could see, they did not charge for the hay rides. The web site says there are pony rides and a corn as well during the fall. The store seemed sterile. The staff was helpful but seemed more focused on stocking or cashiering than the customer. The apples were a little high in price but the two places we went to were comparable. They did have samples out to taste. They had refrigerated items, jellies, syrups, and honey to buy as well. I am sure other States have their apple areas but I do miss the one near Placerville, California which had a lot of growers in a concentrated area.

It's a whole dollar more now, all of 3 dollars, but this little theater is a remodeled gem in the neighborhood. It isn't fancy, but clean and well maintained. I saw The BFG with 5 other people on a Wednesday afternoon. If 3 dollars is still too much, go on Tuesday, when it's only 2.

Visiting family who recommended this place to have the kids burn energy off regardless of weather.
This place is very nice. I'm jealous. Makes our home community center look like a "JV" facility. This one is varsity level as far as young kids are concerned. Kiddie pool area with small slide, Lilly pads with cargo net above to hold on to, big pool no deeper than 4'6" with volleyball area, basketball hoop and three giant floating sea creatures. Hot tub (age 18+ only) and a long water slide where you can choose a song to listen too on the way down complete with coordinated flashing lights.
We also visited the indoor play area, kids 1-12. (Remember socks!). Kinda of like a place place at a fast food place, but 5-6 times larger.
For our non-resident day pass a family of 4 was $36.

My sister and I stopped here to sample their wines. The server was very knowledgeable on the wines and was attentive. My sister asked to speak to their wedding planner and that encounter was quite informative and successful. The venue is beautiful and we each purchased some wine to go.

The nature center has a nice garden and play area for children. In the summer they have fun summer camps for kids and during the school year they offer a nature centered preschool. They also offer many classes and some free activities thru out the year. My kids have participated in many classes, camps and my youngest went to the preschool. It's a great place for children to learn about nature. It's also has some nice trails to take a walk.
