I went mainly to see the magnificent outdoor train set and it was awesome. The rest of the place is very nice very pretty and if you have younger children there is a farm area that they would enjoy. Actually my wife and I enjoyed it to we sat and had lunch at the picnic benches near the farm. The gardens are very nice no matter what the season. There is a nice walking trail through the fields. Now back to the trains one of the best train setups I’ve ever seen probably a city block and half long and 1/2 block wide. It takes you around the country and is set up beautifully many different areas are shown including Lincoln’s funeral train and the old west I loved and and will revisit this place often

The 49er is like a trip back in time. you sit in your car and watch the movie starting at dusk. There is an old fashioned concession stand. Get there early for a good spot! bring a blanket if it is chilly and bug spray if it is hot.

We attended and volunteered for the LIVIN’ IT UP FEST yesterday for Porter Co. Special Olympics at ZAO ISLAND. This beautiful, clean, well-managed venue ALWAYS donates the use of their facility to this annual fundraiser. Besides this hugely attended day, ZAO accommodates families of all ages... go-carts, batting cages, mini-golf, games and THE BEST pizza in the area! GO!
