They gave us a map in case we got "lost," but we made it out in under an hour. There were 12 clues to find but we only found 5 - that gives you an idea how big it was! They also had some animals there to pet, and pony rides too. We learned that ponys and horses are actually the same animal, and they're differentiated based on size! They also had a gigantic "corn" sand box for the kids to play in, and hayrides too. Highly recommend for a fun family afternoon!

Every once in a while, social media serves you something so ridiculous that there's only one…read morereasonable response. "Yep. I'm doing that." So when Destiny Dairy Bar showed up on my feed talking about "come snuggle piglets for $25!" there was no internal debate. No hesitation. No weighing the pros and cons. I immediately booked a Piglet Snuggle Session. Honestly...I don't think I've ever typed my credit card number faster. Booking online was incredibly easy, and from the moment I reserved my spot, Destiny Dairy Bar knocked the customer service out of the park. They sent multiple emails leading up to my appointment explaining exactly what to expect, reminding me about my reservation and providing the required waiver ahead of time so there weren't any surprises when I arrived. Five stars before I even touched a pig! I arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in at the farm store. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They encouraged me to wander around the property until my session started, which turned out to be a great suggestion. There were goats. Cows. Adult pigs. A donkey named Pamela. And plenty of opportunities to wander around smiling at animals living their best lives. When it was time for my session, everything started right on schedule. My farm guide explained how to safely hold the piglets and then basically said..."Have fun!" Don't mind if I do! The best part? I wasn't rushed at all! I had the opportunity to hold any of the piglets I wanted but settled in with the tiniest little guy of the bunch. Three and a half pounds. Curled up in my arms. Completely asleep. For most of the twenty-minute session. I don't know if he chose me...or if I chose him...but we were best friends by the end. The staff member even offered to take photos for me, which I appreciated so much since I was visiting on my own. Instead of trying to awkwardly balance a piglet while taking selfies, I was able to simply enjoy the experience and leave with wonderful memories! PRO TIP: Arrive a little early so you have time to explore the rest of the property. The piglets may be the headline attraction, but they're definitely not the only adorable residents you'll meet. At $25 per group (up to four people), I honestly think this is one of the best values for a unique experience you'll find anywhere. Whether you're bringing kids, your partner or just embracing your inner animal lover like I did, it's twenty minutes of pure joy! Now...I do have one confession. After I got home...I may or may not have Googled plans for building a piglet house. I'm not saying I'm getting a pet pig. I'm just saying...the research has begun. Until then, I'll happily keep coming back to Destiny Dairy Bar whenever I need a piglet fix!

While scrolling through Facebook, I saw that Barking Goat Farm was hosting a "Christmas With The…read moreGoats" event. I had never heard of Barking Goat Farm before, but figured this was the perfect time to check them out--goats + Christmas? Yes, please. It went straight onto my holiday adventures list with zero hesitation. It also seemed like the ideal Black Friday escape from the chaotic shopping madness, and it absolutely was. Despite a steady flow of visitors, the farm never felt crowded, and I found parking easily. Within minutes, I was walking right in and cuddling goats... for FREE. Honestly, if more holiday events involved complimentary goat snuggles, I'd be unstoppable. Barking Goat Farm itself is a super cute little home farm, cozy and welcoming in every way. The people running it were incredibly friendly, and the vibe felt like being invited into someone's warm, happy holiday tradition. Their little shop area was stocked with goat milk soaps, lotions, and other goodies--all very reasonably priced and perfect for gifting (or treating yourself). Of course, the stars of the show were the goats. Sweet, silly, and totally ready for attention, they made for adorable photo ops and plenty of laughs. Being able to pet them and snap photos without a fee was such a generous touch. One thing to keep in mind: the driveway is a bit narrow and parking is limited since it's right in front of the owner's home. Just take it slow, be respectful, and park thoughtfully in their yard. All in all, Barking Goat Farm was such a fun and festive stop on my holiday adventure list. If you're looking for something wholesome, joyful, and delightfully unexpected this season, go hang out with some goats. You won't regret it!

Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

Mother is out and about talking to pickers and offering suggestions, while daughters check people in and out. The farm uses a flag system to show where the previous pickers left off. This means that the next group of pickers can get started right away where berries have not been picked. There's nothing worse than trying to pick in a section that has already been picked over. The farm offers already picked berries as well. There is a steep price difference between those you pick yourself and those that are picked for you. The berries tasted incredible. The berries are on a slight hill with lower rows between them. This meant that while you had to get down to pick them, you didn't have to crawl. Simply sitting, crouching or getting on your knees would suffice. Overall, I was very pleased with Cross the Creek Farm's product and prices and how easy they made strawberry picking. I will definitely be back next year.

So here's the deal: I rode the Pumpkin Patch Express at East Broad Top Railroad, and while it was…read moreabsolutely adorable, festive, and full of fall charm... I'm docking a star for one very specific reason -- they advertised a Halloween costume contest with every train departure and then... just didn't do it. Like, poof. Gone. No announcement, no explanation, no spooky spirit. Just me in a full Halloween costume wondering what in the Great Pumpkin was going on. Let me back up. I had to cancel my original trip a few weeks before because of a family emergency. Their staff was super helpful, issued me a gift card, and made rebooking easy. Total gold stars for that. I ended up rebooking on the last day of the Pumpkin Patch Express, and even splurged for seats in the caboose (because who doesn't want to pretend they're in a vintage movie for a day?). It was $65.32 for two adults, and honestly worth it for the unique view alone. The Orbisonia Station was clean, festive, and well-run. Fall décor everywhere, the kind of stuff Pinterest dreams are made of. The train ride? Perfectly timed -- long enough to enjoy the scenery, short enough that I didn't start questioning my life choices or wishing for snacks. When we arrived at the pumpkin patch, it was like stepping into autumn heaven: games, bounce house, mini-golf, food trucks, firepits, and plenty of pumpkins. The whole setup was great -- even the port-a-johns were clean (which is the real fall miracle here, let's be honest). We hit the food trucks first (pro tip!) and scored seats in the sunshine next to a firepit. I devoured my lunch, soaked up the view, and might've gotten a little competitive playing mini-golf -- nailed the final hole in one and absolutely celebrated like I'd just won the Masters. Now... back to that nonexistent costume contest. Picture me: all decked out, fully committed, ready to strut my spooky self for glory. I walk up to the counter, big smile, ready to ask where the contest will be -- and a rather grumpy man behind the desk hits me with a "Yeah, we're not doing that anymore." No apology, no explanation, no nothing. Just crushed dreams and a ticket in hand. Sir. I have read your Facebook event posts. All. Of. Them. You promised me a costume contest. You got me excited. And you're telling me this now? On the platform? In my Halloween costume? I'll admit it -- I was bummed. Like, "eat extra candy corn later to cope" bummed. But I wore my costume proudly anyway (as did my adventure buddy and a few other brave souls), made my own fun, and still had a great time. Though I definitely whined about it the entire train ride back. My poor adventure companion earned a medal that day. So yeah, East Broad Top -- the train, the views, the pumpkin patch setup -- all awesome. But if you're going to advertise something, please follow through. Some of us plan our entire fall outfit strategy around these things, okay? Still, I can't stay too mad. I had a blast, the caboose ride was a dream, and it's a memory I'll be laughing about for a long time. Just...maybe next year, they can keep their event promises or update their marketing so folks know what to expect? Less ghosting on the costume contest and more ghost costumes, deal?
