I can't say enough about this place and staff. They kept us busy and moving the whole time. They didn't get mad when the kids did their own thing but stayed close.
We started out with playing games outside involving both the kids and adults. It got us all moving and having fun.
Next we moved into two groups. We were group 2.
Our group toured the Museum first. It was so cool, she answered all of the kids and of course my silly silly questions. There was interactive things to do and touch. They even got to milk the "cow". Blaine of course made sure to explain loudly that it wasn't a real a cow lol.
After we finished the tour the kids got to shake milk in containers. Depending on the length of time they shook the containers they made whipped cream, butter, etc. It was a lot of fun but of course you don't want to eat it out of those containers. And Josh made sure to tell them it smelled sour hahaha.
She put ice and salt into a hand churner for the kids to try out. Each child got a turn and they loved it!
Our groups then switched and it was our turn to do the craft, it was a need craft. "Stop motion" As Josh explained. Blaine of course wanted nothing to do with the craft so he laid on the floor for a bit then I took him out for a snack. When craft was finished our group got to gather leaves, sticks, rocks and other nature things. They loved this part, Emily made a beautiful heart! Josh made something just so his mom could get a photo. Ben made the Canada Flag with Maple leaves! and Blaine made a pile of rocks in a square. When asked what he made he said "rocks in a square DUH".
LUNCH TIME! The kids ate, the adults ate and socialized the kids played.
Nature hike and tree finding. It was stunning, the snake grass was everywhere, the trees stood like strong iron towers, words can not do the forest area justice.
The game of squirrel oh man it was so much fun! The kids were each given a bag of "nuts" (Pea seeds) to hide. Once they were all done hiding them, they were told to go and find the nuts again. Of course squirrels don't know where they hid their nuts so they just find whatever 10 they can.
Josh Played but Blaine, Ben and Emily didn't.
ICE CREAM TIME! They have a machine that makes ice cream (it was more like milk shake) the kids all loved it!!!
The parents talked, the kids played and then it was time go home!!!
Nothing got broken and everyone lived it was an awesome trip!!!!!!
I would 100% suggest doing this as a group so you get to experience everything we did.
I had to buy the homemade maple syrup that they make on site, mainly because of the name ahahaha
