Allison was phenomenal to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was so organized, and her attention to detail made everything come together seamlessly. On the day of the event, she truly ran the show--keeping us on track with the timeline and making sure everything went smoothly. The bartenders were amazing, too! They felt like part of our group of friends, which made the whole atmosphere even more fun and personal. We danced all night and had a blast! We can't thank everyone at Nickajack Farms enough for orchestrating such a fun event. Their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that we had the best possible experience. A huge thank you to Allison especially, planning with you was so much fun, and you helped make our "Happily Ever After" celebration one to remember! Highly recommend Nickajack Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and an incredible team to bring their vision to life. Thank you again for making our day so special!

We live up near Akron, and before recently, we had never known about this beautiful farm. Fall Festival was so much fun - perfect for our 1 year old and I'd imagine fun all the way thru school agers. Corn pits, short corn mazes, friendly farm animals, slides and playgrounds, and activity areas galore made our little one's day. He loved seeing the resident rabbit hopping around the farm. Beautiful decor, treats, and gifts were inside the temperature controlled barn near an outdoor pumpkin store and even a small area for the littlest ones to pick their favorite tiny pumpkin. We brought friends for Christmas on the Farm, and everyone had a great time. We werent sure what to expect, but everything was organized and done really nicely while keeping a good pace. We started out with ice skating in the main admissions barn, followed by decorating cookies in Mrs. Claus' barn. She gave us lots of time as our 6, 4, and 2 year olds iced cookies, telling us about different things, reading stories, and engaging the kids. Next, we ended up in Santa's barn which was nicely decorated to look authentic. He told the older kids some fun tricks while slowly warming up my cautious two year old. Before long, he had gotten my son's attention by giving him fives and my son was in his arms at his tool bench helping him build a project with a toy hammer. SC spent a lot of time with our children which was a special bonus, and afterwards they got to participate in an "indoor snowball fight" and make reindeer food amongst other crafts. On our way back to the main barn, we picked up the fresh, hot cocoa and cider included in our admissions. We will be back to Nickajack for future events especially in the fall and at Christmas. The Christmas event just blew us away, especially for only $12 admission. If you're looking for fun for the younger set in the fall or an absolutely magical (or convincing) visit from Santa, look no further.

I recommend the weekdays, as each time we have gone during the week there is no issue with crowding. The only thing is the daycare field trips are there before lunchtime over the summer, so plan accordingly. We packed a lunch and ate on the tailgate in the parking lot. No food is available for purchase on site. Not an issue for us though.

We had expected to maybe pet a few alpacas, and feed some goats, but we got to go into the pens with alpacas, goats, mini pigs, mini horses and donkeys, KANGAROOS, and a wallaby. There's a free ranging tortoise, and a rather cranky camel as well. All of the animals are super social, and came right up to us for pets, even if we didn't have any food. There are add-on private encounters, but my friend wasn't interested in those, so we just did the tour, and got plenty of dopamine from that!

I'm writing this review after hearing a deeply disturbing story from my younger sister, who was a…read morestudent in the Stow School District. Over the years, she visited this establishment multiple times through school-organized field trips. Her earlier experiences seemed educational and age-appropriate, but her final visit in 8th grade was traumatizing and completely unacceptable. On her first visit, she was a young child, excited to explore history. She remembers playing with wooden toys and engaging in fun, interactive activities. It was a harmless and enjoyable experience. On her second visit in 4th grade, the experience was still fairly lighthearted--she milked cows, churned butter, and watched glassblowers at work. It seemed like a continued effort to connect children with the past in a safe and engaging way. But her third visit in 8th grade took a shocking and horrifying turn. During this "A Fugitive's Path: Escape on the Underground Railroad" experience, my sister and her classmates were: Placed in shackles and treated like slaves Forced to simulate escaping through the Underground Railroad Exposed to the sound of blank bullets being shot into the air Surrounded by the cracking of whips Yelled at and intimidated by adults playing the roles of slave catchers or owners This wasn't education--it was trauma packaged as a learning experience. As her older sibling, hearing her describe the fear, humiliation, and confusion she felt during this simulation was gut-wrenching. I cannot understand how any school district, let alone an educational institution trusted with children's development, would approve of such a psychologically scarring experience. How could you slowly build a relationship with this place over several years, only to subject children--still minors--to a reenactment of slavery that includes the sounds of gunfire and whips? What kind of message does that send? What makes anyone believe that this is appropriate or effective? Let me be very clear: no child should ever have to go through this. Teaching about the horrors of slavery is important--but traumatizing children in the process is not education. It's irresponsible and deeply damaging. To the school district and the organizers of this program: What made you think this was okay? You crossed a line that should never be crossed. You failed these students. As a sibling, I'm heartbroken. And as a community member, I'm calling for serious accountability and immediate re-evaluation of what is considered "educational." This should never happen again--to any child, in any school, anywhere. This event took place in 2013-2014 school year however her trauma is still valid in 2025!!!!!!!!

Glenview Acres is a small, family-owned farm that was founded just a few years ago. According to…read morethe farm's website, the land had been family-owned for a few generations, and the owners have rebuilt the soil to grow nutrient-dense foods. The owners pasture-raise cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. The cows and sheep eat 100% grass. The pigs are fed grass and organic grain. The chickens roam around acres of land and eat forage, insects, and organic grain, and they are never administered any antibiotics or hormones. Glenview Acres sells their foods through their farm's website, on-site store, and farmers' markets. So far, I have bought this farm's beef, chicken drumsticks, and ground chicken. These meats were very fresh and tasted very good. The prices were reasonable for the high quality.

They have inside seating and a nice wrap around deck. But no real food. You can bring your own which is good. They only have some cheese and crackers and chips. They have a wine selection and it's white, reds, and fruit wines. The descriptions are a bit subjective. I tried the rose and the apple. Rose was better than the apple but just ok. Apple was not. I thought it was counter to the description. I didn't want to try any more. I am sure if I tried more I'd like 1 but I didn't want to keep going it was a school night. Service is at the counter. Order and find a seat. It's pretty simple. Overall just mediocre.

Das Weinhaus normally has lots of live music (such as guitar players) so that's fun. The view of the water (pond?) is nice outside on a warm summer day. I didn't try any of their food but they offer some food and they are known for their alcoholic drinks (wine, beer, etc). I don' t drink alcohol so I can't comment on their drink offerings. They were nice in allowing us to bring our own snacks and cake while on their patio to celebrate my friend John's birthday. If you live in the area then go and visit Das Weinhaus. It appears to be a local favourite spot. The area is very remote (like the country) as evident from my drive there from Cleveland. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 107/250 total reviews in 2026 - 948 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 28 May 2026
