Twin Cities Spring Babies

“This event did not disappoint!! First of all, we arrive and go into the baby petting zoo. They have puppies! You get to sit down and they bring you one to hold for several minutes. You can go as many times as you like. Then we sat down to hold baby goats, no wait times! There are also baby chicks, bunnies and other animals. Pony rides too! This was an amazing experience for my 20 month old. Then, my little one rode the hay bail ride like 6 times he dint want to get off! I appreciate that rides didn’t cost extra. There’s a really fun hay stack maze for littles, a giant corn pit, an enormous slide that was thrilling and giant blow up jumpers. Lots of delicious fair food too. We stayed for several hours and would’ve stayed longer if my baby didn’t have to nap. Highly recommend and it’s worth every penny!”

“This was a big place with lots of food stands and food trucks, a live music stage, a big tent with tables for the many families visiting to relax and eat their meals. There was a huge selection of pumpkins & gourds. There were lots of kiddie rides and entertainment. There also a hayride with two wagons with two lines to keep it moving fairly decent. Overall, enjoyed the atmosphere, space, food, seating, restroom and kiddie activities. .. asking with the huge corn maze to get lost in and corn pit for the kids. Would definitely come back again.”

“Hold baby goats, feed animals, play in corn! $14 per person entry is just right. Would love if the additional things (like the bounce houses) were less expensive. $3 for a ride down a giant slide OR to slide down a blow up dino is expensive. Would be cool to purchase an "activity" wrist band that let's you do all those things unlimited for one price.”

“We had a very nice time there today. They had a lot of fun activities and a great variety of animals in their petting zoo. It was a good value. I recommend this family friendly fall activity.”

“Great place near the cities to have some fall fun! Our kids 6, 3, 1 all had so much fun!”

“We had a really nice experience overall, especially thanks to the younger staff in the animal tent. They were incredibly kind, patient, and so sweet with both the animals and our toddler. They made sure she felt comfortable and got to interact safely, which we really appreciated. The only downside was the lack of supervision with some of the older kids. There were multiple instances where bigger kids were running around, pushing past others to get to the animals, and even knocked my toddler over. The same thing happened in the bounce house, where older kids were playing pretty rough and again knocked her down. Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be much parent supervision during these moments. I think this place has a lot of potential for young families, especially with how great the staff is, but better monitoring of play areas and clearer separation or rules for older kids would make a big difference.”

“Unfortunately, we will not be returning. It is free entry into the festival, but $12 online/$14 in-person ticket per person for Corn Maze & Play/Activity Area. We witnessed a table collapse on a family of 9. The yard games were unfinished. Allegedly, players need to visit the information booth to be able to play. However, this necessity wasn't listed online, nor any posted signage. The Connect 4 was broken. The pumpkin trebuchet was worth it. The concession stand charged $5 for a burnt corn dog. The online component for the Corn Maze is unfinished. The QR code at the start of the maze was faulty. Overall, I would suggest going to Country Sun Farm or Pinehaven Farm instead. It felt very much like a money-grab.”

“I took my kids to Twin Cities Spring Babies, and overall they had a great time. The bouncy house was a big hit, the dragon/dinosaur attraction was fun, the food was good, and most of the people we interacted with were friendly. However, I do want to call out an uncomfortable experience at the petting area. There were three women working there, and when we came back for another turn, because my kids were excited to pet the goats again, I clearly heard one of them say, “they are back again” in an obnoxious tone. As a customer, that was surprising and disappointing. Most businesses appreciate repeat visitors, especially when kids are enjoying themselves. After that, the three women gathered in a small huddle and kept looking over at us, which made us feel very uncomfortable. When I asked if my kids could feed the goats, they said yes, but shortly after, one of the women came over, took the baby goat out of our hands rather abruptly, and was quite rude in the way she handled the situation. There was really no need for that kind of behavior. People come to events like this to enjoy time with their families, and basic courtesy goes a long way. If interacting with customers is an issue, then please find another job where you do not have to deal with people directly. I did mention the behavior at the time, but unfortunately, the situation was not handled any better. Even as we were leaving, the three women appeared to be talking about us, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. I would still come back with my kids because they enjoyed the event, but if I see those three ladies again, I would likely just say let’s get out. I would also encourage other families to be watchful. In my experience, if this happened to me, it could happen to someone else again. Overall, the event itself was enjoyable, but the experience at the petting area left a negative impression.”
