Colony Acres Family Farm

How have I never written a review!?…read more Colony Acres Family Farm is an NL staple-- having been around for over 25 years! In the summer it boasts sunflowers. In the fall there's games, food/drinks, pumpkin patch picking, a market and of course, the corn maze. In the winter Colony Acres offers fresh-cut trees and Santa. I've only event ventured here during the fall-- tickets are $11-16. (*Pro Tip: order online to save a few bucks a ticket.*) My kids adored the zip line, slides, train ride, bouncy pad and corn maze. We typically don't get pumpkins here but there's a wide selection of those-- mums, corn stalks, hay bales and more. The farm is closed Mondays and Tuesdays during the fall. It allows dogs! There's plenty of parking. Staff is uber friendly. Stop by.

If you have kids, check this out as it looks as if it would be a blast.

Only complaint I have is that there were some young teenagers rough housing in the lazy river area. At one point they had my 5 yr old nephew trapped under their floats. The life guards were told about this and they said they only break it up if someone is being hurt. So a 5 yr old trapped under a float by rough housing teens in the lazy river is allowable behavior? I think NOT! At the front desk I asked about a veteran discount and was told "I don't think we do that". Please educate your staff and PLEASE honor the spirit of a "lazy river."

I think it is ridiculous to make a customer come back in line when there is no sign that states that they don't accept American Express.The water park it self was overall a fun experience for the family, but I probably would not come back to order food unless I have cash because I'm not taking a chance that they tell me to wait back in line.

We seriously had the best time. My son is 6 so he doesn't have a whole lot of patience. We got there around 1pm but the fish didn't start biting until 3pm. We decided to make it a Labor Day tradition because we had so much fun. Right at about 3pm the fish started biting and biting. We actually had to stop because we started to catch too many. Everyone there was very nice. We did hear that it will be under new ownership starting in 2021 season. I would definitely recommend this place for kiddos. You don't even need a fishing license since it's a private business.

Fun to help others learn how to fish, bait their own hook (especially getting young girls into fishing). It was almost guaranteed you would catch something. I even caught a novelty golden trout here once. Beautiful lily pads and could hear the bullfrogs. But, at almost $0.70 an inch I can see where it could get a little pricey Like the old saying goes, "Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime". Even if that feeding comes through curiosity :)

A little fish'n for that big lunker!

Beautiful day at the lake.
