    Visiting this museum during COVID 19 and giving it a 5* should tell you something. The staff there was wonderful! The museum is beautiful and set in a gorgeous scenery. I would love to go back when all their hands on displays are open.

    Went here for one of their classes and paid the fee for me and my littler one (who was too small for the class) to hang around and check the place out. There were lots of things to see and a few interactive exhibits she really enjoyed. The store was her favorite part (she's 3 and loved "shopping" and "checking out"). I think any history buff would enjoy this place.

    Good afternoon for kids. I've only been once but I can't imagine I need to go again. My 2.5 year old niece enjoyed the interactive activities.

    A friend took my family and I to this place and it was so amazing to learn about farming methods used long ago plus so many agriculture stuff great pictures with explanations. We were the only ones in that place during this visit , the receptionist was amazing.

    Can’t really call it a hidden gem but considering so very few people visit here on weekdays it’s one of the best parks to visit for some peace and quiet.

    A very good informative small museum for both adults and kids. It also had little farm activities for the kids. The exhibits had informational boards explaining the history. They also had sanitizers placed throughout the museum and the restroom was clean. There is also a outdoor trail to walk around.

    It is a fun and neat little place with a lot to explore. There is old farm equipment that is well maintained and cool things nearby, such as a little amphitheater and a fire pit. There is much to do here, I promise you won't get bored. It is great for families, even ones with small children. Also pet friendly but there really aren't waste stations so be mindful of that. I highly recommend coming here.

    The heritage farm museum and the surrounding area is a very tranquil and expansive place to spend the morning or afternoon. There's plenty of little exhibits, not to mention great scenery with the woods, lake, and wide open fields. Lots of hiking trails, though I wished the paths would be paved or at least covered with rocks so that they don't get muddy. It's also a great place to watch a beautiful sunset if you can catch it.

    I was invited to do a magic show here. The place was huge with all different kinds of history and things to look at. Parents load up the kids and take them here. It's pretty wild how the farms farmed and how things where done back in the day. I remember life before the internet, black and white TVs. This is a nice step back in time lots of fun

    Great little museum with plenty of hands on play for younger kids. They have antique farm equipment and play areas that are modeled on a general store, barn, school, and Grandma’s kitchen. I would highly recommend this place for families with younger children especially if the weather is poor and you need a place to let kids play and burn off some energy.

    Fun spot! No food or water/drinks. They're strict. Understandable. The pretend kitchen and classroom was a hit with my kids.

    It is a very nice museum to visit. It has older life style of US has some old tractor harvest tools and some early stage tools developed for harvesting that are made of stones like chisel. it had some old home specimen of those. It’s a nice place to visit at least once.

    A very cute and educational museum great for kids and adults. A small museum but nice nonetheless. Very affordable and filled with information. The woman at the front desk was more than pleasant. My 2 year old loved all the hands on exhibits.

    Went there for the dirt day. Had a few activities for kids but no beer/food trailer. It was advertised that the beer/did trailer will be there but when we got there we were told that there won't be any, without any prior communication. Given this was a paid event any such cancellations should have been communicated with an offer to refund the money. Additionally they were very strict about checking for tickets to ensure only paid members were entering. We basically paid money for kids to play with dirt! We traveled an hour to get here but left feeling cheated by the event organizers. Overall Park is nice and general entry is free so I'd not be inclined to pay for such events in future.

    We did the outdoor stations with a homeschooling group. The kids had fun! You can get a group discount if your group is over a certain number of people. Check-in was easy and the stations were interesting. Would love to visit again and go inside :)

    This is a great little museum for toddlers. Our grandson played for hours in the old fashioned general store, farm and kitchen.

    Fun rainy day activity for ages 2-10. Kept the kids busy for several hours. Clean bathrooms, no food or drink allowed, easy parking.

    I had a great experience at Heritage Farm Museum. Friendly staff and well organized. It gives you a good history of the area and you’ll get to know the story behind the names of the streets you use, especially if you live or pass through that area frequently. I recommend you reserve a good amount of time, so you could enjoy your visit and see the places behind the museum.
