Almost like a zoo but a lot different! The owners of lake metroparks farmpark are very nice. They have put a lot of work into farmpark and they offer so many fun things for children to do. A lot of activities and many animals to see and also a petting zoo. You can feed dear and also pet them through a fence. They have food machines all over and for 25 cent you can get a hand full of food to feed the animals. If you speak with a worker they will walk around with you and tell about everything and give you information on each animal.
We took a group to Lake Farmpark ranging in age from 4 mos. to 69 years and everyone loved it! There was a corn maze, we watched a horse get new horseshoes, milked a cow, and rode on a wagon. The lunch in the cafeteria was really good - very kid-friendly foods. I would definitely take a trip back here and maybe go at a different time of year to experience some different sights.
My son loves animals and we have so much fun at all the metroparks. I love walking around there with my son. Fall is the best time of year there because it's brisk enough for long long walks!! Beautiful! Always something going on too! Prices are fair. We did a firetruck thing one year and had a blast!
Farmpark is a family oriented science and cultural center devoted to agriculture, farming, and country life.
My family and I are members and love spending anywhere from a few hours to all day at the Farmpark. The fall is the best time with the corn maze and apple themed weekends. There is always something to do and or see--quilt displays, the balloon farm display, winter lights, halloween hayrides, and so much more. A great asset to Lake County OH!!
It's actually in Kirtland, OH, but the computer wouldn't allow me to select that city.
