I recently took my kids to The Track, and overall they were having an amazing time. They loved the…read morego-karts and were so excited to head into the arcade afterward. My son is 7 and my daughter is 6 and like most happy kids at a family amusement park, they were skipping, jumping, and running because they were excited. As we were walking toward the arcade, an older employee near the boat area, wearing a green shirt, blew a whistle and yelled across the park at my children to stop running. There was no crowd around them, they weren't running into anyone, and they weren't creating a safety issue. They were simply being excited children at an outdoor family entertainment venue. I understand the importance of safety, but there is a respectful way to speak to children. Yelling at young kids from across the park and blowing a whistle at them was unnecessary and left a bad impression on our visit. Family attractions should be places where children can enjoy themselves, and employees should know how to address kids in a friendly and appropriate manner. My kids still enjoyed their day, but this interaction was disappointing and could have been handled much better. We have NEVER had this issue at the track in all the years we visit. Someone definitely needs to let him know that it no acceptable behavior

Absolutely would recommend this place to anyone traveling w/people that love barnyard animals. Only caveat is that they were only open on weekends, 10-4, during the time we visited in early May 2021.

So professional, had EVERYTHING you need to build your sculpture. Each person builds their own masterpiece as Tammy walks you through, step by step. The class was an hour.

She mentioned they have open classes, Wednesdays at the state park pavilion. That would be something i definitely would look into, especially if your group is smaller, like one or two people.
