Hayrides
A traditional favorite! Our tractor-drawn hay wagon ride meanders over open fields and wooded lanes to provide a fun and relaxing activity.
Rides are 20 minutes.
Our hay wagon can accommodate up to 25 people.
- $30 for the first ride.
- $20 for each consecutive additional ride.
Popcorn Bonfires
If you’re looking for a unique outdoor experience combining a special time around the campfire with delicious, fresh, kettle-cooked popcorn, join us at the Three Crosses Campfire Area for this treat.
- 1 hour sessions for up to 100 people.
- $40 for first kettle.
- $20 for additional kettles.
- Each kettle serves approximately 30 people.
Team Building Games
For those who want to build unity, team building games help groups learn the art of working together. Times for discussing issues and exploring the components of teamwork are interwoven with fun and challenging activities.
- 1 hour sessions for up to 40 participants.
- $5 per person, minimum $50.
Challenge Courses
Our ropes activities provide a fun, challenging way for your group to interact. As participants complete the course/activity the rest of the group is encouraged to cheer them on as a team.
Choose High Ropes Course, Zip Line, Tree Climb, Super Swing, Leap of Faith, or combine several activities.
