Went to 2021 Halloween event. $60 admission fee for 2 adults 3 kids seemed quite steep so called a week ahead to talk about the event further. It seemed there would be alot of activities. Hundreds of people were interested and sharing the event on social media so my family and I decided to give it a go. We sold the idea to the kids in place of trick or treating.
We waited a long time inline to get through the gate to then jump on the train ride that lapped the paddock. It would have been great addition if some people were hiding in the dark to jump out and give the kids a scream.

Opened at 12 on Sunday for an event but when we tried to order we were told the advertised menu was not available until 3pm. We were looking forward to The Ringers Rump but the only available menu item was pizza. We then waited an hour for pizza that wasn't worth the $18, and they've just increased the price to $20. Petting zoo was a couple of chickens, and some locked up goats and sheep. Jumping castle advertised wasn't there, so not much going on for kids on that day which I believed to be their main attraction. Review section including negative feedback was removed from their Facebook page rather

We had a nice time here for dinner. The kids enjoyed seeing the animals and running around with their friends. The food was good quality at a decent price. The staff were friendly and helpful. All transactions are in cash, there is an ATM available.
