Being able to sit down and plan out everything from the decorations, the seating, and all the way down to the exact menu we wanted in one meeting made everything so stress free. We were able to have 50 of our closest family friends in attendance and the space fit everyone perfectly. We had so many of our guests compliment the food, and the staff here was so amazing in putting together such an amazing dinner for all of us. However, I will say the cream cheese ice cream that I wanted to see if they could recreate (Which they DID) was the biggest hit of the night! The photos we took at the venue do not do this place justice! I couldn't be happier with our experience here!!

I have been trying to contact them for over 2-3 weeks to book an event and have only been told they…read morewill call me back or let me know. Incredibly unprofessional and frustrating. I called and emailed didn't hear back, then finally got a hold of someone who said they would call me back with information but never did. I can't imagine how their service is if this is the level of unprofessionalism they showed with just booking. Will NOT be booking with them.

It's all outside. Lots of walking up and down uneven steps, gravel, grass, wood and stones. The…read moreonly part that is completely inside with a/c is so small/this is where the DJ/ dance floor is located. The whole venue is broken up into small areas. The bathrooms are on the front porch that is accessible by no overhang, there are 2 and half bathroom, half is just a urinal. It's not very handicap accessible. Our table was picnic table by the kitchen on the back porch. We couldn't see the party at the head table. There were no fans near us. The bar/ water station was a good walk. Bring a seat cushion since you're sitting on log benches. Let's talk about the crazy drive to find this place. We took the 1-49 directions which is a 2 lane road with no side for miles. Make sure you fill up with gas otherwise it's miles until you find a gas station. We went home via 1-69 which felt like a safe/less crazy road way. There are no street lights either. There is no wifi when on the property. The property grounds are well taken care of and nice. I couldn't image how the event would be able to take place if it was raining.

Seating indoors and outdoors for this wedding and dinner created intimate experience while affording plenty of space for mingling during cocktail hour. Definite connectivity between ceremony/cocktails/dinner/dancing. Small play area for kids and unique, discreet fairy theme was very cute. The only downside to this place is I live too far away to use it for my daughter's weddings!! Book this space it, is really special.

I've been here for a few events that are chef competitions, and it's the events have always been fun. The space itself is nice with parking all around, including some overflow in the nearby car wash. One time it was the middle of summer and the A/C was struggling in a big way, but largely because the event spilled outside so the doors were constantly coming open. It was easily 90 degrees in here. The past time was in mid-January, and it still felt like 90. Let's just say the furnace works better than the A/C. It's pretty basic with a little bar setup on one end, space for tables and to mill about, and then a little raised area on the opposite end which would be good for addressing a crowd. Not the most memorable or trendy event space, but a good overall spot if you're out in that end of town.

Beautiful building. The main hall is free and open to anyone. Lots of cool info on dinosaurs,…read morespace, and an interactive section where you take a quiz, make a dinosaur and see it on a big screen next to you. Upstairs is a discovery room that I want to like so much but it's just so poorly run. It seems to me that there's not enough staff or funding maybe to keep everything organized and neat so a lot of it is disheveled or there's stuff missing. Worth a visit on a free day or with a pogo pass but I wouldn't pay for it.

Negative: I would say that the main floor really needs to add some more displays or exhibition pieces. I feel like there's a lot of space that could be better utilized. My grandkids weren't that excited about the main floor. The discovery room area primarily for children has some neat displays, but could have a little bit more interactive play areas instead of just viewing displays.

Oh and the owner is friendly too.
