There is a decent amount of green space and a very small playground. The coolest part is probably the old-fashion tall slide. My kiddos kept themselves entertained by creating an obstacle course around the playground pieces.<br />

If we were near it and wanted to stretch our legs, Sawyer Park does the job. I would not go out of my way to seek it out again, though.<br />

It is an awfully cute farm!<br />

<br />
The petting zoo, kiddie play area, and hay ride were each $2. The corn maze was $6 (woah!). We didn't do that one. They do offer a bundle price if you are planning to do it all. It saves you a buck.<br />
<br />
The petting zoo area was a lot of fun. We could get as close to the animals as we wanted, and they were all pretty tolerant of lots of hands. We even got to hold a baby chick! The kids got a pretty big kick out of the chickens running loose around the farm.<br />

Not much for large motor, traditional playground activities, but there were lots of fine motor building and ball games. They had a nice variety for little tyke experiments. One of my pet peeves is when places make adults pay to supervise, and I definitely felt like this was not worth my entrance fee. But the kids had a good time.<br />

Our favorite was definitely the hay ride. It was a small, cozy wagon, and the man running it was great. We even had to stop for deer on our trail - twice! It does not take you out to the pumpkin patch like we have been used to, but it was a nice length and a pleasant ride. </div>

It seemed to me like the pumpkins were a bit pricey ($9 for a large one?), but these are the only pumpkins we've purchased this year so maybe I'm just out of touch with the going rate.<br />
<br />
I was glad we went right away in the morning. We spent about 2 hours there, and by the time we left it was starting to get pretty crowded. It is a spacious farm, but the activity areas had a limited amount of participation. I think it would have been frustrating with a lot more people.<br />
<br />
There were port-a-potties available.<br />

We were mostly in it for the rides, also the little one is not such a fan, so we ended up doing a few games as well.<br />
<br />
There is a fair amount for the little ones to do, including a mini ropes course.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vau7kGIvk2M/W8zo_sFvSHI/AAAAAAAAHdo/5-ZHjM0KOLAfD50O8_HGsPoLrOZFA48cQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_4182.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vau7kGIvk2M/W8zo_sFvSHI/AAAAAAAAHdo/5-ZHjM0KOLAfD50O8_HGsPoLrOZFA48cQCLcBGAs/s400/IMG_4182.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
But she was in the sweet spot, being small enough to go on the kiddie activities and just big enough to do most of the grow-up ones as well. The full-scale ropes course ended up being a little bit more unnerving than she anticipated, and one of the attendants who was working was FANTASTIC at helping to guide her through it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We appreciated that there were options for unlimited-play wristbands as well as the ability to buy credits to use on anything in the park. This worked out well for our family since we knew the kids would get their money's worth, but the we parents probably would not. It was easy to reload our card if we ran low.<br />
<br />
We were also VERY impressed with the staff. We got really lucky and were there on a day that was not crowded at all. Truthfully, we were able to walk right onto most of the rides. There were a few that the adults had to go on with the kids. We were all supposed to pay, but the attendants were all so nice about letting us go on with them without charging us! It made our visit so much more enjoyable and the kids got to do a lot more than they would have if we had needed to pay for every carousel and Ferris wheel ride! Little things like that made our experience a great one. It was a bit more expensive than we usually spend for birthday fun, but I think we would all agree it was worth it.<br />
<br />
We also didn't need to stay at the hotel, which was great for us. I was a little bit surprised while researching that overnight guests do not get more of a discount on wristbands.<br />

And a whole play area with climbing structures (including some made of straw bales), tricycles, and all sorts of fun. There were also inflatable bouncy horses, which were a lot of fun.<br />

The kids also enjoyed the little garden, which had little hidden secrets. They liked the natural tic-tac-toe a lot.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, the Little Farmer has the best caramel apple bar! You get to pick your perfect size apple and choose your favorite toppings. You can even turn it into a caramel apple "sundae."<br />
<br />
One thing I really appreciate about the Little Farmer is that you pay for what you do. Anyone can wander around for free. The food prices were not outrageous, and the play area was only $1 per person. Adults had to pay, but I could deal with a dollar.<br />
<br />
The maze and hayride were more expensive, around $4 each if I recall correctly. They seemed a little bit pricey comparatively. We decided to just go with the corn maze. The maze includes a puzzle you try to solve as you work your way through, which was a pretty fun addition.<br />

There are a couple of swings and a few other small pieces of equipment. There are no real climbers, but the kids had a blast on a standing spinner.<br />

Bonus side note, it was pretty hysterical to watch them try to walk away after spinning!<br />
<br />
The park technically has a shelter/shed structure. My hope was that there may be some bathrooms, but everything was locked up when we were there.<br />

Technically it's on Chequamegon Bay, so it has a LITTLE bit of a chance to get up to a swim-able temperature! It looks to be a long and narrow park with quite a bit of lakefront. There is a beach as well as a playground.<br />

<br />
The lake is not big, but they have cleared a nice beach area with a decent amount of sand to play in. The water in front of the sand is pretty nice too, though there were lots of weeds to either side. Highlight of the day for my kiddos: we saw a snake swim from one side to the other:)<br />
<br />
It was great with little kids because it is nice and shallow for quite a long way out, so they had lots of room to splash and play before we had to reel them back in.<br />
<br />
There is a restroom building with pit toilets. Those didn't seem very well maintained. The door didn't close on the women's, and they were pretty gross.<br />

It has enough to entertain a crew of kids! <br />
<br />
There is also a very nice picnic shelter with bathrooms. I don't know if the bathrooms are always open, but there seemed to be some kind of summer camp happening when we went, so they were at the time anyway.<br />

<br />
Supposedly, there is some sketchy past to this park, but when we were there, there was not another soul to be seen. It is definitely a nice quiet park, but it is a bit of a drive away from everything.<br />
<br />
There are bathrooms.<br />

There is a one-person climber, a couple of swings, and a sand box. The
kids were pretty unimpressed, but they did play for a bit in the
sandbox.<br />

<br />
The equipment was in great shape. A lot of it looked almost new. I may have even tried some of it out myself...<br />
<br />
We enjoyed all of the different climbing activities. I think the favorite, though, were the old-fashioned bouncing toys.<br />
<br />
There are bathrooms, but they were locked when we were there. I'm thinking they are probably only open for events.<br />

While it would have been a nice place to practice baseball or play kickball, but that's all there was. We were disappointed that at a nice big park like that there was no playground.<br />

It's not huge, but plenty of fun.<br />

<br />
The main playground felt a little bit old-fashioned, but it didn't seem to bother any of the kids that were there.<br />

<br />
There is also a small handicapped-accessible addition. This equipment looked fairly new, and my non-handicapped children enjoyed that too. We were able to have a nice discussion about how other kids might be able to use the items at that playground too.<br />

<br />
We lucked out and found the bookmobile there! We got to listen to a guest reader at the park! They set up under a very large covered picnic area.<br />
<br />
All in all, we enjoyed the Ixonia Fireman's Park.<br />

It must be mostly take up by the playground, and it sounds like it might have some old favorites (seesaw anyone?).<br />
