- Renard G6 contributionsI love how up close you can get at this zoo! It even has a beautiful butterfly exhibit you can walk through. I was very impressed how nice and long the train ride was. Feeding the goats was amazing! The babies will sit in your lap and let you pet them. My fiance and I spend easily 45 minutes with them. Even an adult goat tried to sit on him lolWritten August 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Shelley S1 contributionEmployees seem like they didn’t care we were there.
Would like to purchase a cheese / meat tray premade instead of individual items from fridge.
The screen porch is nice. Kinda small. Wine is super. Good variety.Written March 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were so many things for our little ones to do that we weren't able to get to all of them before they (well, really it was us) ran out of energy.
The park has a large footprint and is clean and affordable. The corn maze is fantastic and has a variety of lengths for all ages. Park goers can purchase pumpkins, gourds, and many other things. The only issue is that the concession lines were rather large. The park would benefit from one or two more concession stations. We will look forward to our return next October!Written October 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pat lGainesville, GA1,127 contributionsWe thought we would be able to pick apples here the 2nd week of September, but there were no apples to pick. There were a few in the market to buy, but the setup was not very appealing. Maybe IN is not the place for apples?
We were visiting our Purdue student daughter so we took the trailer ride around the farm. It was very pretty and the little man driving it was kind to us. The ride was free, too.
Nice way to spend a couple of hours in the fall.Written October 4, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- interceptpubsColumbus, IN1,026 contributionsStopped by this double-wide storefront in downtown Lafayette recently. It has representative work for sale from various Indiana artists including art glass, pottery, paintings, photography, clothing, etc., so plenty of variety. Some of the art glass (made in Valparaiso) was especially good, as was some of the pottery pieces from various area artists. Prices seemed very reasonable, and the staff were very friendly even if you're just taking a look at the art.Written July 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bzenithFishers, IN19 contributionsNice little hiking trail overlooking a creek. You can tell they are putting work into improving the trails, lots of overlooks and benches to enjoy the views. Easy hiking.Written September 29, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Luke WahlLafayette, IN3,715 contributionsFantastic local brewery and tidy restaurant with homely barn atmosphere and venue for an ideal summer time sipping spot. We found the beverage menu quite limited surprisingly to the July styles, IPA and seltzer, only one dark thing but oh what a fine black brew it was. Both of us enjoyed the Space Pilot Coffee Porter too well! Highly recommend that one, wished for a tap of the canned brews too but like most little family run businesses there's a quick keg turnover. Makes for more reason to come often, not just for the drinks, the beer cheese nachos were recommended to us and we quickly realized we will also recommend! Probably the best thing on the menu, a huge mound of the right toppings and fresh made ingredients. Could have gone for two but we also tried the hummus and french onion, the soup was excellent making me wish I'd also gone for a bowl even though the hummus was fantastic alongside their own pesto I would need protein included not just veggies to try again.
This is easily a fine choice for the relaxed and carefree 21+ crowd, to escape the campus ruckus, right up there with Escape Velocity, Brockerage, Thyme & Wagner, and People's.Written October 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Lafayette should be proud of the improvements and the community should support and take advantage of this little "entertainment complex." We now have a park, zoo, water park, and new ballpark located together. One possible improvement: signage to help you find parking and the zoo entrance should be added.Written July 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheTravelingBoyMama87 contributionsThey have a nice selection of antiques at reasonable prices. Some of the flea market areas aren’t as interesting, but that’s probably a personal preference. It seems that items change often, and you never know what you might find. Employees aren’t the friendliest or most helpful, so be prepared.Written June 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ADoloresLafayette, IN1,439 contributionsMy husband usually takes our grandchildren to Imagination Station when they visit. However I went with our two year old granddaughter recently. She enjoyed many of the exhibits which were perfect for a toddler. She even got to see a snake up close.Written July 23, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
