The hit seems to be the kiddie roller coaster carts. Up to three kids can race these at a time. The climb and slide room was also a big hit. $1 a kid. Adults are free. Its tied to a Lutheran Church but all are welcome. No heavy handed proselytizing, just a fun place to play.

The staff provides excellent customer service and you can tell they truly care -- everything is always very clean and well-maintained. The play options are fantastic: from the large indoor play structure, to the basketball court and turf area, and even a quiet area for kids who need a little break. It really feels like there's something for every age and energy level. Peak times can get chaotic but it's still big enough. We'd definitely recommend Boundless to any family looking for a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for their kids to play and grow.

We will DEFINITELY be back.

They have tons of animal snack options to choose from, we chose the $9 bucket and if you keep the bucket you get refills for $4.50 another additional cost for the pony rides. There are tons of animals, cows, goats, deer, chickens, ducks and so much more. I was shocked how docile and calm ALL of the animals are. My kids loved it, I'm sure we will be back.

Went here on Independence Day weekend due to recommendations I've received from locals. The actual…read moreviewing area for the animals is a little bit longer of a drive once you enter the park winding through the forest. Parking and admission is free but they do accept donations. They were a decent amount of animals to look at from birds to bears. The only downside is that the animal exhibits were only a few which isn't bad if you're three for picnics or exploring the forest/play on one of their various playgrounds. They do have a concession stand in their welcome center but doesn't look like much. All in all, a good place to spend a summer afternoon if you way to plan a picnic or do something outdoors as well as spend some time petting animals!

This is one of the best parks in the Midwest…read more The zoo is fun during the summer, with peacocks that are free to roam around the avian area. We spent a good couple of hours just watching them doing bird things, including ostentatious displays of power and mating ability. This year, we went in fall and the birds were away. We did see some bison behind a fence. It's quite amazing to be three feet away from them, something which you wouldn't be able to do safely in the wild. Further down the road, there are a couple of donated buildings: an early 20th century area school and a 19th century pioneer log home. The school is a particularly fine piece of architecture. Scattered through the park are many pavilions and covered picnic tables. It's a great park and zoo!

Despite being in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Rochester has ZERO natural lakes. So strange, isn't it?…read moreSilver Lake is a man-made lake. I guess due to the scarcity of natural water, the Canada Geese here flock to this park to enjoy the water and the delicious, tender grass. Seriously, I've never seen this many geese swarming before. They're quite docile, unless they're nesting. Anyway, the trail to make a look around the lake is very nice. You pass by a playground, and a lot of benches to take in the view. Public washrooms are very near the walkway. If you're into something different, Silver Lake Boat & Bicycle Rentals will let you rent out paddle boats, kayaks, single person bikes, tandem bikes, child bikes and even child trailers so that you have multiple ways of enjoying this park. You even pass by multiple informational panels so you can get some learning in on the way.

People are not US based Somalians or somewhere from that side of the country Because I could not hear them talk properly. They were dealing with illegal drugs and the park was so dirty and nasty that you could see used condoms all over the place. If you're going with the family I strongly recommend you avoid this side of the park because it's not very safe. We feel really insecure and left that place although the park is very pretty we could have stayed longer, but we didn't feel safe with the amount of people coming in there with the law-enforcement can make rounds in this area.
