It was hot but have no fear, there were beers, food, people rolling up on boats and people enjoying the sights and sounds of the city! The event was beautifully run and I enjoyed talking to Kent from the center for the arts about some of the other things they are doing there this summer including showing films and hosting more concerts! I didn't get the opportunity to go inside and check out the art museum so this is more a review of the River loop but man if's its half as cool on the inside as it was on the outside it will be 5 stars for sure!

We took our two grandchildren, aged 3 and 5. They absolutely loved the kangaroos, chocolate milk…read moreand the ice cream that was included in the ticket price. They also enjoyed bottle feeding the calves, the cheese curds and wagyu beef sticks. The 5 year old even milked a cow! It was a very well run tour! They had tables set up with our names ready to wait for everyone to arrive. They also gave out crayons and sheets for the children to color. We then loaded up on a tractor drawn trolley to take us to the farm. Our large group was divided into two groups. 1/2 went to the kangaroos and the other 1/2 to the calves. We were given slices of bread to feed the kangaroos. It was fun for the adults too, lol! When then moved on to bottle feed the calves, then visit the heifers and then the milking room. We were provided with some very interesting facts as we went along. We then visited with their 2 one year old female kangaroos. Super cute! We loaded up on the trolley to return to the main building. There they provided us with a choice of whole milk or chocolate milk, plates of curds and beef sticks. They also had jars of heavy cream for us to make butter. 5-6 minutes of shaking and we had butter! We then were able choose from around 20 flavors of ice cream. Very delicious! We watched a video on the making of their products and had the chance to purchase items. This was the second time we had visited the dairy in the last 2 years. This was just as enjoyable as the first time. I highly recommend this for anyone with young children! Or even adults! We'll take the grands again in a couple of years. Thank you for a wonderful time Hansen family!

I visited Hansen's a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend and his family. His parents said that we…read morewere going to a farm to milk a cow, so I decided to join them. When we got there, I wasn't sure what to expect. Everything looked okay, and we were lured by all the ice cream flavors, so I was not prepared for what was to come. We jumped on an open air vehicle to begin our tour. We stopped at the place where they have the cows all separated by age: calves, younger ones, and adults. We were first given the opportunity to feed the babies, which is when my horror began. I had the chance to feed a five-day old calf that was HORRIFIED. I didn't want to play into this game at first, but I overheard that the calf was being a brat; rather than allowing others to make it more scared, I decided to step in to bottle feed it. I learned that the cows are taken from their mothers at birth so they don't attach, and the tour guide had the nerve to tell is that their moms don't care. I get that this is standard practice at milk factories, but please don't insult our intelligence. Then we move on to the factory part, where we see the cows lined up and attached to the devices that are milking them. My horror grew. We learned there about the artificial insemination, got to see some cows not wanting to be herded in, and our tour guide saying they "should get over it," as it will be over in a few minutes. And of course, this is where the tour group is invited to milk one of the cows. I couldn't do it, but the rest of my group was happy to do so. I know that what I saw isn't likely even close to the horrors of the milking practices of most milk factories, but this was enough to make me want to cry. Then we moved on to another part of the farm, where the cows are kept in filthy and crowded conditions. We were told that they prefer to be in there and not roam because they don't feel safe roaming in pastures... what?! I couldn't do it anymore; I had to step away. Then they showed us their kangaroo collection. I don't know much about kangaroos, so nothing to say here about whether or not this was a happy situation. The kangaroos were just lying there looking bored or hot. The tour ended by us trying their ice cream, cheese curds, and butter (which they had us make). This part would have been fun, had I not been traumatized already. Again, I can imagine that this is the "nice" version of what happens in most milk factories, so thank you, Hansen's for giving me a glimpse.

I am typically lenient and easygoing in reviews, but organizing a wedding with Bien Venu caused constant stress and was a huge pain in the butt. They offer you a lot and make it sound great, until you sign the contract which they will immediately begin braking. We were treated very poorly and the most basic services and equipment we were promised during our walkthrough we were later told were not an option. We were also improperly charged thousands of dollars worth of bills; eventually this was figured out, but it was just one more thing that they got so wrong. I could list more than 20 different things they told us they would do in the contract, in emails, and verbally that they failed to do. We loved our wedding, but it was no thanks to Bien Venu; they only made everything about wedding planning and the wedding day difficult.

Laundry is two dollars for a wash and two dollars for a dry. The Front Desk staff were very friendly when they checked us in, they do have a pretty large convenience store, as well as some prepared food you can purchase it was great that they had a gas station with diesel right at the entrance as well as propane, so everything you need Obviously, the big draw here is the lost island waterpark, and amusement park, but both are only open on the weekend so this park is nice and quiet on a weekday, which is exactly what we were looking for

They do offer free breakfast which is great and it starts at 6am which is also good because we like to get going early. Lots of TV channels and it had a well lit parking lot. Beds are comfortable and clean. My kid did find two bottle caps so not as clean as it should be. Bathroom is small but it does have a shower and toilet so no complaints! Also they provided enough clean towels that we didn't need to ask for more. One further complaint was it's advertised as free WiFi, however there is no password or instructions on how to get on. As a millennial I know how to get on the interwebs but it was taking me to their site and wouldn't let me log in. It was late enough that I wasn't going to bother with it so I do recommend asking about instructions when you check in.
