A Taste of Amish Country

Kid-Friendly and Kid-Approved are not the same thing

Let me start with the good: Customer service is stellar. I went on vacation and forgot my envelope and they were able to quickly send me the digital version so I could still enjoy. 5/5 This trip was great in itself. Very fun, tasty, and informative. My wife and I had a blast. I would easily recommend for another couple or adult friend group. 5/5, no notes. The less good: Really pay attention to the note about being better for older kids. We missed that note when booking. It’s true, there isn’t anything not inherently kid-friendly content-wise, but after the first set of stops, our kids were very bored (aged 7, 10, and 11). I’ll go into a few notes below. Warning for some very vague and general but not at all specific spoilers. First set of stops was great for kids: breakfast, animals, and food tasting. The second set of stops was some shopping locations, only one of which had any interest for kids. The third set of locations were wineries/lunch options. Neither winery had anything for the kids to do and the one that was a restaurant didn’t even have a children’s menu. The last stop went way over the heads of the kids content-wise, and at least one of the stops could be iffy based on the kids maturity levels. Again, I don’t want to be a downer because my wife and I enjoyed ourselves and I think this would be a great day trip for adults, but I would caution against bringing the younger kids on this one.

What a great day!

We so enjoyed our trip. We did Amish country in Ohio and had a blast. The choices were great (yes we veered off to a couple of stops not on the list). It was fun opening the packets as we went and making the day a fun surprise. Been telling all our friends to do it.
