πŸ‘ We went for a school field trip and it was a lot of fun! The kids loved feeding and petting the baby llamas. They also got to walk a llama, which the children loved.

The Abandoned Hayride
Haunted house
πŸ‘ It was by far the best haunted house I’ve ever been to. Plus side is they are decent actors and I jumped a couple of times. Down side is unless you get VIP you’ll wait in one line or another most of the night. The entire place is stupid expensive anyways but I wouldn’t go again without VIP. It’s...
