Today I was there for "farm day " which was a chance to view the animals on a beautiful fall day and shop at vendors lined up along the path. These vendors seemed to be picked for their close to nature wares which included natural soap and scrubs, the lady Who Made cork handbags, A man and woman who made beer bottle openers out of half horseshoes, and the lady who made homemade dog treats. I was thrilled to purchase 2 handmade items from Annabelle's Wish stand. Annabelle's Wish helps children and family struggling with rare neurological disorders. All of these items are brand new and donated so I got 2 items for a steal and the $31 went directly to help the kids. Made my week! Www.Annabelleswish.org

If you're lucky enough to own a horse, you're able to board them there for a monthly fee. Otherwise there are pony rentals and rides (for little kids, for sure), and riding lessons available. Find Hidden Valley Horse Farm at Ridley Creek State Park.

Hidden Valley Horse Farm has been located inside Ridley Creek State Park since 1999. It is the…read morefirst thing you see on your left as you enter the main park entrance. The set up utilizes some horse facilities from the Jeffords estate. Horse culture at this location dates back to the turn of the 19th C. and has links to Samuel Riddle, breeder of Man O' War and other famed racehorses. Boarding is available here with beautiful paddocks. There are 40 acres of pasture for grazing. There is a brand new enclosed ring that was built about a year ago. Also a heated tack room, and washing area (outside). We notice that horses are always blanketed when it is cold out, and they always look lively and content. In addition to boarding, they offer beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons, horse education ("hands-on"), pony rides, and parties. Often people host birthday parties at the nearby park picnic area with playground, and enjoy pony rides as part of the party. To visit and exercise your horse, there is a separate horse trail adjacent to the horse farm, just across Gradyville Road. North of Gradyville Rd the trail is roughly a figure 8 shape, & is the longest trail overall (4.7mi) for the park, and the only one equestrian-accessible. This is the widest unpaved park trail, since it is for horses. Note that walkers & dogs also use this trail, and populate it more than horses. A large northern section of the trail abuts Edgmont Country Club golf course, & the green's activities can be observed from the trail.

Have small kids, so took a little time to visit this small zoo. We ended up being blown away. Sure,…read moreit's small, but with plenty of local animals and active staff. Honestly, that's what made the biggest difference: have you ever been to a zoo where the staff, as they are working, turn and have conversations with the patrons? Also, there was a short talk/presentation about turtles - my kids loved it! They asked so many questions and because they were local animals, we could then look for turtles - my kids now love turtles as much as volcanoes!! Also, they had a monarch butterfly egg monitoring project going on, and it was exciting to see staff go out with mirrors in the weeds to count eggs. It's hard to articulate how unsung this place is. Incredible experience, mainly due to the accessibility and welcomingness of the park staff!

They have a great handful of enclosures that are habitats with several animals - for instance, there was a lemur habitat that had tortoises and a fowl. They also had an enclosure that had Scarlett ibis, ducks and an anteater! They also have a gift shop that was on the smaller side, a petting zoo where you can pet the goals and a snack shack. Great place for young kids - who don't require a large attention span to get enjoyment out of the zoo.

This obviously is not the business' fault but the women responsible for the children. First I would…read morelike to say I have taken my children here about four times and we have always had a great experience until today! I think it should be mandatory that you must be on the play floor with your children while visiting CSP!! Today, myself and my three children visited CSP . As we were walking in a lady walked in before us with a child probably five or six years old. They met another woman there with her daughter who was probably five or six also. I noticed right away that the two women sat down at a table in the snacking area. Myself and my children were there for exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes before we left. Not one time did either of these ladies get up and come on the play floor to watch their children or even to look over and see what their children were doing. Now I know this because I was watching them as I watched these two little girls bully my three-year-old son. Repeatedly, I said loudly to my son " hey come play over here " "hey stay away from those girls " "their being mean they don't want to play get away from them" loud enough so that it would catch the attention of the parents!! NOTHING eyes glued to their phones or in deep conversations with eachother. As if this was a daycare! My son would try to play with them and they'd get " no get away from us " "go away" "go away we don't want to play with you" "stop get out" even to the point where the one little girl grabbed my son's hands and pushed his hands off of toys! I told her to keep her hands to herself! This same little girl grabbed one of the soft play squares and pushed my two-year-old daughter down the step of the ball pit!!! I hope there's cameras so the owners can see this!! Even after all of this my son would not stop trying to play with them! The last time he went up to play with them I heard them both saying to my son get away, we don't want you here. We don't wanna play with you! I took it upon myself to go up to the parents.! What else was I supposed to do at this point leave?? These little girls are being mean now my children have to leave? No absolutely not so I tell the parents I said hey are these your girls? They both got up and said yes and I said they are being very mean to my three-year-old son ! We walk over to the girls the girls say to them that my son is calling them mean words! Meanwhile, we just left IVY REHAB for kids because my son is currently in speech therapy and probably says about five words which none of them are mean! The women say to the little girls "let him play with you" then they walk away and sit back down! Still not watching your children absolutely insane!!!!!!! after a woman comes up to you telling you that your children are being mean you would think that you would keep an eye on them, right??? At that point, I knew that we had to leave I could not sit there and continue to let these little girls pick on my son because that's exactly what was going to happen because the parents were not watching them whatsoever ! I understand they don't have to play with my son. That's completely fine but being mean is totally a different story. As a parent, this is extremely heartbreaking. DO BETTER WATCH YOUR CHILDREN ! This isn't a drop off so you can sit on your phone for almost an hour and a half!

I love the idea of this place and coming on playdates to just chill out here while the kids are busy. There are ample amounts of toys of all different variety, which is fantastic. There is something for more active kids who like ball pits or slides, but then also puzzles, books, play kitchen/pretend food for more low key activities. I like that they have hand sanitizer and shoeless entry as well. Around Christmas time they had a Santa visit which was also very cute! Would definitely consider a birthday party here in the future.

Staff is friendly, restroom is clean and large for baby diaper changes, and the location appears right at the downtown area, with plenty of dining options. I hope to be back someday! Five stars!
