Winter Wonderland Hayrides

The hayride lasts approximately 45 minutes and will be conducted regardless of weather conditions - unless deemed unsafe - so dress for the weather! 

Hayrides leave from the front of the Center hourly, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Space on the wagons is limited. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made on Brown Paper Tickets. The cost is $5.00 per person.

Please check in at the front desk 10 minutes prior to the departure of your hayride as they depart on time. If you are not checked in at the appropriate time, we re-sell seats to those on our waiting list.

Sheep Shearing plus TONS more fun at Kelsey Creek Farm in Bellevue - Saturday, April 27th 2013 from 11am-4pm

Take your kids and see the sheep get their winter coats sheared at Kelsey Creek Farm! Plus, they can see all kinds of demos, take a tractor ride and see other farm animals all for free!  For a fee they can bounce on the inflatables, ride ponies, buy food, honey and more!

We did this last couple of years and it's been fun! However, I recommend getting there early or late otherwise you will be waiting forever (possibly up to an hour or an hour and a half) for the shuttle. Or make sure to take something to occupy the kids' time while you wait in line for the shuttle. And it is just about impossible to park anywhere near the park. So, Just a FYI!

And if you are interested in buying food or other goodies, or riding the ponies or using the bounce houses, make sure to take cash as they have no ATM on site and don't take credit cards.

Have fun!

All set for summer!
