Other activities included: hay ride , pumpkin bowling, pillow bounce, truck sand pit, basketball toss, football toss, baseball toss, lots of different slides, duck races, pig races and more . They also have animals to see : chickens, goats (and a goat walk), donkeys, ducks, pigs, sheep, and alpacas. They also have tractors you can climb all over. Prices were reasonable for the amount of stuff available. They also have classes for children to learn about how pumpkins are grown and a fun story time session. What could be better ? - some of the games need new balls- as some are worn out and old. They also have a pizza barn, beverages (soda,water), and kettle korn.it would have been nice if they had burgers , hot dogs or sandwiches- but some of that was closed on Friday. Views of the mountains and valley are amazing! Great fun for the family- check them out ! ( Seasonal )

Absolutely wonderful. I first met the owner, Rick, at my goddaughters' birthday party. For the past…read morethree years they have brought a petting zoo, a pony and a bounce house. Everything was always very organized and efficient. What impressed me was how well the animals were treated; like family, not like disposable money makers. This was very important to me. The owner and his son brought food and showed us how to feed the animals. The animals were all super sweet. For years I have wanted to put on a living nativity at my church and with the help of D&D I was able to. They were awesome. They took care of everything. The animals were a smashing hit. Rick's wife, Jennifer answered all my questions, went above and beyond to make everything work out and even gave us a temporary insurance certificate for the event. The cost of the rental was very reasonable. I'm so glad we've been able to work with this sweet family business and look forward to doing it again next year.

It went so great that i called them months in advance to book again for her 4th birthday party. They were already booked full on her birthday weekend so i pushed the party back a week to 10/3. I started calling D&D in August to try and add a bounce house. I called for weeks and left many many messages. The owner Rick finally called me 9/24. One week before the party. He received a call from someone else to use his ponies and petting zoo the same day as me. This was a bigger event than mine so he was going to have to cancel my party. He finally called me because his wife told him he had to "call that woman back." My daughter was devastated. She cried and cried. I desperately called everywhere and everyone to find something to entertain the 40+ kids that would be at my house. Nothing was available for 10/3 with such short notice. I ended up moving the party to 10/4. Had to call everyone invited and let them know the change of plans. We ended up renting 2 bounce houses from AE Bounce House Rentals. They felt bad for me and went above and beyond to help me. D&D Pony Rides are great..... if they show up. I've heard of them doing this to other customers.

Long Stone has eggs, broiler chickens, hogs, and a cattle herd. They are utilizing ecologically sensitive rotational grazing that produces some very tasty pork and beef. They have a farm store stand selling these and other products. We bought some sausage, a steak, and some Harvue Cheese.
