Took the 2 grandchildren today to visit the Farm. Mask on and WOW what a great time enjoyed by all. The beautiful huge stair steps into the the trees was amazing and enjoyed by our Grandchildren. Once we climbed up the flights of steps there are walk ways of netting and netting with walking planks. Great addition to this wonderful place. The employees are friendly and eager to answer any questions you may have. New this year was the Nature room filled with aquatic creatures and even an aquarium. The farm has plenty of clean restrooms and have Purell sanitizer dispensers thru out the farm. The farm is truly a Blessing for all of us to enjoy! A BIG Thank you to the Perry family for there dedication to this wonderful place

Although I have visited Pullman Square multiple times, this was the first time I had ever visited the pottery place. It was such a nice relaxing afternoon of painting. The piece I created was a clover for St Patrick’s Day and my friend picked out an Easter decoration. It was the week prior to everything being shut down in the state due to coronavirus, but I finally received my finished product in May. After your project is painted, the store will fire it and mail it to you for a shipping charge. It was well worth the price. I will visit again when I am in the area.

Great place to spend some time watching the sun sink into the river through the structure of the 6th Street bridge and watch the boats out on one of America's great rivers. Not crowded on a Saturday evening, but small groups of walkers were present. Find a bench and take in a little tranquility.

My husband and I took five grandchildren and two grown children to the park while we were on vacation. We all had an unforgettable time. Didn't have to wait in long lines. The kids were laughing the whole time instead of bickering They thanked me over and over. They rode the Rattler 12 times and the log ride 3. We enjoyed funnel cakes during a break. The super man ride was really cool. Also they had a petting zoo and pony rides that they enjoyed so much I thought we would never leave And of course we had to ride the old wooden roller coaster The Big Dipper
