The place was nice up until I was going to start the activities with all the kids. We went in a group of 7 adults and 8 kids. The minute we were heading towards the activities we were stopped and asked if we had bracelets which we didn t so when we went to buy them the prices per person both kids and adults was about $12 something plus tax it was $13 & change. Mind you I called and specifically asked prices on the phone and was told $6.95 for kids 3 & over and then you pay anything extra. So now my problem is why is it that the adults whom are there to supervise children having to pay a full price if they will not be doing the extra activities and why is it that i was misinformed of the prices!??? The place is big it s gorgeous from what I got to see but it saddened me that we were misinformed and the kids could not enjoy it because some could not afford to pay all the extra cash. Just my 1 daughter and I was almost $30 so that was pretty disappointing being I was not going to make any other children feel bad so we did not go in and there was nothing else to do other then feed and pet the animals that didn t require a bracelet. I suggest they adjust their prices specially for the parents that are only their to supervise their kids at least half price and teach the employees to inform callers correctly of the prices not misinform and waste a trip !! Also they should have smaller activities for those whom do not wish to purchase a bracelet. I could have just went to heaven hill farm whigh does not require a bracelet and you can just pay the extra activities which are NOT pricey at all and hay ride is free along with pumpkin picking and corn maze you just pay for your pumpkin on your way out. The place is big and guaranteed that the kids will enjoy it!
