We got lost and ended up here by mistake. We were searching for a pumpkin patch after the one in Shakopee was closed. Best Mistake of Our Lives. We had so much fun here with the kids and me on the zip line. I definitely recommend stopping by here if you like having fun outdoors and have good imagination because you will not be disappointed.

You can be a lumberjack, use old fashion for fighting equipment, walk on stilts, or make as jailbreak. So many fun things to do and for a very reasonable suggested donation.

Jack looks great! I love having the church picnics there, I kept my distance, but I shook his hand, Jack lives by faith not fear. GOD BLESS JACK and The McGowan family!

Scenery and also just being able to play with so many things

Great place for all ages! We love McGowans!

Beautiful, serene, and set back in the woods.

One of the most wonderful places to visit.

Great history, great for school field trips, groups, hands on learning

Ive always loved going to Jack McGowens farm. Jack himself is a very nice and cool guy :D I love the cool activities they have for kids. The ONE thing Ive always loved about the farm is all the pianos they have! Every time I go there, I always play the pianos there. Kids that go there really enjoy it and sometimes if Im lucky, there will be another pianist there and well play duets! I most definitely recommend this place!

I can not wait to have my wedding out here next summer! It is an amazing place where anything can happen! Jack and the staff out there are super awesome!

A great place for kids to have fun. I think its considered a private park, but just call to get reservations or to come help with maintaince. Also good for alcohol free parties and receptions.

Awesome place, the people and exhibits are well done. Super informative, fun events for schools and families.

Attended A wedding .jack is a very colorful guy. Friendly and made sure all was going well

An awesome place to see and do things

Lots of room, great rustic buildings, lots of room for camping. (gross outhouses)

Amazing site. Comfortable camping and beautiful views.

Best park off the beaten path in mankato ;)

Jack is an amazing man who truly lets people have a great time on his farm. There is education everywhere for children and an amazing small town he has built himself. Its worth the stop!!

Have a blast there on my childrens feild trips

Generous owner with acres of fun for kids. They have many activities to do from zip line, to hayrides, old time village recreations and activities. Shelters available with picnic tables.

Great place for old time fun with the kids. Kid friendly cross between Ren Fest and a living history museum.

My school came here and it was the best field trip ever!

EVERY time I go out here I cant wait for the next time!! Theres never a bad time to visit Jack!

My kids go here for a field trip every fall with school. They absolutely love it!

Sticky bathrooms. The worst !!

These guys are the most accommodating! Their things to do there are so much fun and the atmosphere is clean!

Beautiful location! Great for large family get togethers.

Good place to take family or a group of people to camp

Great place for so many reasons. Jack is the best!

This was a treasure hidden just outside Mankato. We had a great potluck picnic, with many interesting things for the children to do.
