A bit of a drive when coming from the city but was a great time, especially for our little one. They only had certain experiences and areas open during this time since it was after normal operation hours. We got to feed the giraffes, see a red panda and other animals. The playground area and carousel were also open for the kids to have some fun. One of the security guards ended up coming over and chatting with us for a while. Very kind man that told us about some of the different exhibits they have during the day, busyness of the zoo in the summer and holidays, etc. We're hoping to come back again sometime in the near future, possibly during the holidays since it was mentioned the special exhibit/experience they have for Christmas time.

This Zoo is pretty new, and visiting on memorial day was free, Yay!! It is pretty small zoo but…read moreplenty places to sit down, eat and rest. Free parking is nice, but on a crowded day, you have to circle around nearby area for street parkig. While seeing all these animals was cute and fun, I do think they need to work on efficiency for certain areas...like train ride, barn, Habitat HQ etc. They had way too many people inside the buildings and the line was not moving at all. I think the entrance fee is bit high for what they have to offer (usually $31 with advance booking).

The only thing I would say negatively; I don't believe the axe throwing station should be available to anyone under at least twelve and with better supervision. There were two young boys just chopping at the target and they could not throw the axes safely. A potential accident waiting to happen. Otherwise it was an amazing day for both of us.

The castle itself is huge but quite cramped inside so it was alot of work following my 2.5 yo kid inside. The castle is targetted for 5yo and up. My toddler enjoyed the spiral slides. The rest of the playground is nice and clean as well. There's free parking available and the castle is a short walk from there. I went there on a Friday afternoon/evening in late august and it wasn't too crowded. I would come back again if I was in the area

If you live locally it may be worthwhile but the drive for me was such a waste of my time for what this was. Ready? It's a: Big Wooden Castle Yep, that's it, folks. A gigantic version of that swingset-clubhouse combo you bought at Costco only to rot in your backyard because spiders and rain made it so unpleasant for kids that they refuse to use it. It's that creepy clubhouse times 30! It's pretty much a regular playground with most kids swarming the swings and other play features with a few venturing into the old wood play structure. They go in once and don't go back in again. My son was cursed at by older boys who appeared beyond the age guidelines (and I was surprised to see them still interested in a playground). In the myopic darkness of the castle, my son banged his head when inside the dank structure there was suddenly an unmarked (unlit) drastic change in ceiling height. Needless to say this experience was a turn off. Most kids really preferred being out in daylight because the castle felt more like a dungeon. It was fun to see friends and we enjoyed the togetherness of the play date but unless I'm in the area and desperate for a kid distraction, I won't be back.

This farm is beautiful anytime of the year. We went in July during the summertime and the flowers…read morewere in bloom and the bees were out, it was very pretty. Parking is a little far from the farm itself, but there is a paved walking trail to get to the farm. Once we were there, we headed to the farm. Once inside the homestead we were met with a tour guide. They were very well educated about the property and stories there. The buildings were fascinating. There is so much history, and artifacts inside. All the way down to the painting. I appreciate how they preserved alot of the original. We walked around the exterior gardens. The flowers were stunning. It was so cute to see the bees feeding on the pollen. There was a pretty good size gardens that had flowers and vegetables. The property itself was very clean and well managed. The bathrooms were also available and well maintained. I recommend dressing for the weather, and the interior can become hot. I highly recommend this as something to do when killing time or looking for something to do in the local area. It was very fun and fascinating. Takes about an hour or less depending on how many people. When we were there, there were not too many people. Maybe 1-2 other families.

You see families eating lunch/dinner at the pavilions, events like parties, kids running around the swing sets (as I did years ago), joggers, dog walkers, cyclists, you name it. They even have a small pond and waterfall in the back and an amphitheater!! My personal favorite thing to besides meeting up with friends is to take a walk and clear the mind. It is very peaceful and they have many paths that go through forest's and around the area, even I haven't fully explored this park!! Going at evening/sundown is my favorite time to go (as pictured below). If anyone is in the area and is looking to do something outdoors, look no further than Fischer's Park. Even if it is a leisurely stroll, it's worth it.

CSA share is 1000% worth it!…read more The CSA not only provides an abundance of vegetables weekly to participants but the diversity of options is great. It has provided me the opportunity to try so many new recipes & veggies. Vegetables from the farm last soo much longer than from the grocery store & taste better too! One in particular being Okra. In the beginning I had a hard time utilizing it well, but after trial fails I now LOVE grilled okra. The staff here are amazing, friendly and very helpful. I bring my dog Honey most weekends, and everyone is welcoming and very playful with her. The space is very beautiful and relaxing, with ample space to sit around and soak it all in.

We are blessed to take advantage of homeschool classes, camp days and the CSA! We've been attending homeschool classes and camp days for a year now and are always pleasantly surprised by the activities. My 10 year old has decided he'd rather not do classes but, is over the moon on camp days, as they offer less structure and more choices. My 5 year old is on her second season of homeschool classes and my 3 year old is just getting his feet wet but, is excited to leave me most days. EXCITED to leave me! Did you read that, moms of preschoolers?! They're always beaming with joy and toting a cute craft or some form of nature when they return. While they're in class, my 2 year old, myself and whichever kid is not in a class at that time (the little kids attend for one hour while the big kids have two hours) walk around the farm to visit with the animals, catch chickens, play in the field or just hang out with other families. Check out Fernbrook! You won't be disappointed!

But in a spur of the moment quest to get my kids some outdoor time, we decided to drive by and check it out. I have to say, we were all pleasantly surprised with how nice it was. The park has a lot of new equipment (which is good for kids between the ages of 3 to 9 I'd say), it was very clean, and there was also lots of parking which was convenient. The one shortcoming is that there's no bathroom or fountain. Other than that though, pretty solid park.

I told the park ranger who didn't even do anything.
