Went
during
March
Break
on
a
Wednesday
morning.
Booked
a
ticket
online.
The
parking
lot
is
MUDDY
-
wear
rubber
boots
100%.
All
the
staff
was
wonderful.
It
may
be
different
on
the
weekends
but
on
this
weekday
it
seemed
like
activities
were
minimal.
The
petting
barn
was
pretty
run
down
(not
in
a
danger
to
animals
or
people
sense,
just
lots
of
repairs
could
be
made),
and
only
a
few
animals
were
able
to
be
seen.
Goats
and
bunnies
mostly.
It
was
quite
crowded
inside.
There
was
a
rundown
sign
near
the
old
sugar
shack
with
a
clock
that
said
“next
tour
in…”
but
clearly
it
had
been
destroyed
by
many
kids
and/or
weather.
There
was
no
one
to
chat
with
to
“take
a
tour”
or
to
teach
the
kids
how
to
make
syrup.
VERY
self-guided
experience.
No
education
signs,
or
direction
signs
really
anywhere
explaining
the
steps.
We
felt
more
like
we
were
on
a
hike
in
the
woods
with
some
sap
lines
and
other
families
running
around.
There
was
a
man
in
the
shack,
but
he
wasn’t
putting
on
a
show
for
us
or
anything,
just
quietly
watching
the
sap.
Lots
of
porta
potties
-
yay!
Fairly
clean
too.
The
meal
was
a
separate
price
but
it
was
delicious
-
Meating’s
makes
great
food!
Again,
the
staff
in
the
eatery
were
FANTASTIC.
I
didn’t
see
any
hot
dog
or
s’mores
kits
for
sale
like
it
had
mentioned
online,
but
also
the
two
fires
we
came
across
were
smoking
and
definitely
needed
to
be
tended
to
(around
noon).
HUGE
PLUS:
like
five
or
six
play
structures
for
the
kids.
My
kid
spent
95%
of
our
time
here
and
that
was
the
highlight
of
her
“sugar
shack
adventure”
Definitely
room
for
improvement
in
the
whole
“maple
bush”
experience.
Someone
to
explain
different
types,
the
process
etc
-
especially
for
young
kids
&
families
who
didn’t
grow
up
here.
But
having
Meating’s
on-site
for
food
is
a
huge
benefit.
Will
probably
seek
out
a
different
experience
for
my
kid
next
year
to
learn
more
about
the
process
of
making
maple
syrup.
But
if
you
just
want
to
have
a
delicious
pancake
breakfast
&
run
around
some
play
structures,
eating
maple
taffy
-
this
is
the
place
for
your
family!
