There is a fun"zip line" type ride that kids will want to ride over and over again. You land in sand so safe for every age to enjoy. Theres an area for imaginitive play and includes litte shelters with toys you can play with inside or in the sand. A giant jumping pad (could use some shade)! You can get right up close to all the animlas and even a fire truck. Fun tractor ride goes around the property. Plenty of Hay stacks for fun farm photo ops. The staff are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Market where you can purchase delicious butter tarts and other hot foods available on site. Admission fee is steep but I guess consistent with other farms these days.

Visited today for "EasterFest" with my hubby and our three year old daughter and we had a great…read moretime. The farm was pretty busy but we went early and it didn't feel too overwhelming because there was lots of space for people to spread out. We decided to get our market goodies when we first arrived to avoid the rush when leaving (pro tip - if you go somewhere busy and there's no line for something you want to do, do it then lol ) Lots of fun hunting for specific eggs in the egg hunt and my little also enjoyed the toddler egg hunt as well. She really like being able to pick her own treat. Super well thought out and organized by the Brooks Farms folks - kudos! We devoured a pancake breakfast with hashbrowns, sausage and real maple syrup - yum! It was nice to warm up in the new barn/event space and my daughter enjoyed seeing the baby chickens and colouring her Easter sheets. We got an order of fries wnd gravy before we left and it was also very tasty. Definitely worth the drive from the GTA! We will for sure return again in the warmer months.

They have a lot of little shops with artisan items, as well as some food stands and a really great bakery area. The place is nicely decorated for Christmas. They also have a separate area which you have to pay for which has some special rides and things for the kids. They do have an indoor market in the back, it also has a fair number of artisan stands, many local vendors. Most are selling Christmas eats, baked goods, but the rest are selling things like candles, ornaments, kitchen, supplies, decorations, etc. there is an area in the back where you can sit and have a hot chocolate and something nice from one of the baked goods stands. Parking is on site, and on the busy days they actually have someone directing traffic. If you're looking for something different and a little less commercial, this is the place to go. Standard entrance is free. You only have to pay for the rides, etc.

Surprisingly, a Chinese run booth had dumplings cooking all day and I had takeaway rice and Chana Masala that wasn't bad for $5. Frank (Frankie Flowers of Breakfast Television fame) was there shopping with his family too, he lives in the area. Really Nice Produce, Ample Parking if you have to drive. Decent prices.

I spent hours browsing through the mix of furniture, decor, and collectibles. The atmosphere is cozy, easy to get lost in the nostalgia :-) There is limited parking available.

It's probably closer to two months since I first dropped by Georgian Mall. I was in the parking lot…read morefor the Barrie Ribfest -- the drive-thru edition. It was held in front of the old Sears store, which is currently Spirit Halloween. That's my first impression of this mall. Stores close, but this mall and the folks behind it find creative ways to lure shoppers and eaters to come here. While heading over to the ribfest, I noticed an L.L. Bean sign. As a fan of casual, comfy clothing, I knew that I had to return and check it out. The mall's layout is interesting. I parked by the entrance closest to L.L. Bean and Moxie's, which was the second floor. This mall has two floors, but the top floor is more like a third of space than what you get on the first floor. If someone forced you to choose a single floor to shop, you would want the first floor because you've got more variety and the food court is there. I would be torn if this restriction was there, for Coles and Showcase are on the second floor and I love them. The main anchor stores are Hudson's Bay, SportChek, and Homesense. The former is massive and decent. I checked out the food court because, hey, I like food and my feet automatically moved me here. You get your usual chains, such as A&W, Subway, and Teriyaki Experience. The ones that I didn't recognize were Good Karma (Indian fare that looked so good) and Wikki Hut (Asian-South American mix of food that looked yummy). There is a blocked-off area to dine, with two staff members checking for your proof of vaccination and ID at the entrance. I spent most of my time in L.L. Bean and Hot Topic. I enjoyed looking at cool merchandise in both and ultimately making a purchase in the latter. I ended up getting snacks at Mr Pretzels and Kernels Popcorn. They are away from the food court, but the aroma from the latter lured me over here. I love that they are practically next to each other. I am a fan of both places and would definitely return to this mall just for these two businesses. The mall is clean and nicely kept. The women's washroom was bright and in great shape, which also included a separate nursery section. I saw a dental clinic. I didn't see any other health services, so you're not coming here for a doctor's appointment. However, you can get your prescription at Shoppers Drug Mart. The only downside during this pandemic is that there aren't places to sit down to take a breather, other than the blocked-off food court. I wanted to eat my pretzel and pretzel dogs somewhere. I ended up sitting in front of the fireplace where you technically aren't supposed to sit down, but I did anyway. It's a decent mall that has practically everything you need and a lot more. There was lots of parking available. I like it here it and would come back to shop some more. (405)
