Reviews of Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center (Tourist Attraction)

Kyle Bartels

Had a great time here with my family. Great for all ages and learned a lot. Probably the best cheese curbs we have ever had as well.

Dairy Business Association

Proud to support Farm Wisconsin. Highly recommend checking this place out!

This was a lot of fun. My kids thoroughly enjoyed learning about farms here. The 3D sandbox, on the second floor, was a big hit. We also had the pleasure of witnessing a live calf birth. We thought we would miss it but they were nice enough to make an announcement to inform us to head to the observation area. The gift shop and Cafe were great as well. The food and ice cream was VERY good. All of the staff were friendly and informative. Will visit again soon.

Very nice family attraction

Randall Miller

Great place to take school-aged kids; lots of fun interactive displays and exhibits (pretty good experience for the adults, too.) Also had a great tour of a modern and well-run dairy operation nearby. They just recently opened up, and I imagine that it will be a work in progress with many new and interesting developments as they move forward. I'll look forward to returning in the future to see more about what's happening in the world of agriculture.

Even if you were a small farmer it is still interesting to go see and also the experiments that they let you do

Bradley DeBroux

The vouenteers and staff were helpful and friendly.

Wonderful experience learning about farm life in Wisconsin. Even saw a live birth of a calf. Great staff and awesome food in the cafe. Not to be missed.

Dorothy Stuart

Amazing place dedicated to the education on the importance of agriculture in Wisconsin. There are many interactive exhibits. A lot to read. But very informative. If one gets there at the right time they can witness the miracle of seeing a calf be born.

Very nice but a little expensive for what you get.

FUN! Kids loved it. A little heavy on the text for each exhibit, but my 8,6 and 3 year old enjoyed it. Loved the bus tour of a real farm and the birth of a calf! LOVED the food in the cafe. It's restaurant quality. My son said it's the best pancakes he's ever had in his life :)

Judy Scott

Breakfast was delicious. Will be going again.

The grandparent annual membership is the way to go for those in the area who have 4 or more 'angels' to entertain. Especially if you plan to come back. Our four 10-13 year olds thought the kinetic sand box was the BEST and the corn combine simulators were a close second. Getting to see a calf being born was 'icing on the cake'. Even though I have been a farm wife for many years, I was still blown away by the information and entertainment assembled here. Kudos! A must see for all ages.

Fun education for all ages and a baby cow birth what more do you need

We stopped here on our way home today because of all the cafe signs along the freeway and figured it was worth a look. The good: -Very kind staff -Clean -Some interesting exhibits (Kinetic sand, topography map!) -Great gift shop The not as good: -Expensive for the amount to do in the center, and if you are only there for a short time/miss the farm tour. (However, I didn't mind because it goes to a good cause, but I did see a lot of folks leave because of it.) -No changing tables in bathrooms, at least up in the exhibit area, which is disappointing for a new facility geared at families. -The separate, cafe hours were not posted anywhere obvious when we came in (not on entry doors), so we missed our opportunity for actual food by an hour and had to go elsewhere. Had we known they don't serve until 5:00, we would have done the center second. Make sure to check the website, not the doors! Obviously, it is still very new, so hopefully some little changes will be made! We will be back.

A great tribute to Wisconsin and its wonderful agriculture industry. I hope this place receives enough visitors to learn about what Wisconsin has to offer. Not as little kid friendly as I had hoped especially for the price, but a nice option for older kids. I hope they remove the fencing from the playground as we could not see our son while he played if we sat on the benches. Also, it felt like we shouldn't be in the play area since it was so secure and hidden.

Gregory Wellach

Gorgeous new facility so much information and fun and games and learning for the kids and adults they did a great job can't wait to see what it had as time goes on.

Steven Andrews

I loved this place it was a great experience as a place to learn and see things. Plus it has two simulated harvesters and real cow birthing place and you take a bus and tour a very large farm to learn more stuff.

Educational

Kari Hafner

Our family had such a wonderful experience here today! We got to see a calf being born in the birthing center and my kids even got to name him, which made it extra special! Our children are 7,4 and 2 and we ended up spending 4hrs there. They loved the combine harvester simulation, the kinetic sand, bus tour, video on maple syrup and of course the ice cream! The staff is awesome! We learned so much and are looking forward to another visit in the future!

Aaron van asten

The place was nice and clean. it seemed very expensive for the amount of entertainment we received. wouldn't go again.

Christopher Meyer

This place will bring more interest to the agricultural industry of Wisconsin. I'm glad it's coming so close to the place that I call home. For the individual who says it blocks view out of their kitchen window, I question if they enjoy looking at the interstate or if they don't fully understand how this place would help share knowledge of the agricultural industry. My girlfriend and I can't wait until it's opening.

Kelly P Moore

Outstanding - well worth a visit by all

Matthew Kleckner

A nice Museum and Education Center! A nice place for people to learn about Agriculture and where there food comes from. A nice place to show case the Diverse Wisconsin Agriculture Industry. A nice place to show case the Hard Working Farmers of Manitowoc County and Wisconsin.

Brett Roeller

Really great educational place.

Mary LaVigne

For the price paid 2 adults 1 5year old and 1 1year old $40. Not much to do we were told the tour was all full, but had to pay full price anyways. We basically felt gypped and left us needing to find something else to do for te rest of the day.

John Young

I can't wait to be there on Saturday for the opening of this awesome facility. I love the fact that they have season passes and family passes. Having visited Fair Oaks Adventure center numerous times and each time discovering something new, I'm sure I will want to take all of our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren there time and time again. In excited!!

Joanna Guza

Wow, you and your family will love this place! Make sure you schedule enough time to get through the whole center and save time for ice cream!

Sarah Bouc

This museum is so nice. As an adult, I didn’t find it too interesting. But it is very interactive for children. I would say the coolest part is the simulator for harvesting crops. It is very well put together and very clean. They also had a birthing pen where there was a cow that gave birth while we are there.

Lynn R. Peters

Wow! This new farm museum really exceeded my expectations. Admission isn't cheap (adults $16 I believe) but includes a tour of a nearby farm. And a chance to see a calf born!! (We just missed it, but saw the calf before she'd even dried off.) Lots of good hands-on exhibits, a nice farm-to-table cafe and a decent gift shop.

Ryann Balzola

Love this place! Such a neat place for kids.

Jessica Barnes

Brand new facility with fun, interactive exhibits and a bus tour.

Artiom Sviderschi

They let unprofessional and unsafe drivers to deliver their stuff.Today(11/27/18) around 9.30 am on i290 near Schaumburg ,IL truck was speeding 10+ miles and was in the 3rd(restricted for trucks) lane. Sorry didn't know truck driver is not your employee.

Anne Hynek

This is a really fun interactive activity family members of all ages. Learn all about our agricultural heritage visit the birthing parlor and see a calf born, even have a delicious lunch and ice cream! It just doesn't get more "Wisconsin" than this!

Bonnie Bittle

So wonderful! I wasn't prepared to be as impressed as I was. Great presentation of agriculture importance. Many interactive displays. I really liked them myself but the children that were visiting loved them. I played the harvesting game. Harvested over 45 bushels. Didn't get to experience a calf being born. Not sure I really want to. Tour of the actual working farm was really something. Only disappointment was that the restaurant was not open. We wanted to have lunch there but had to settle for a cone. Ice cream was very tasty though. Worth the visit. I will go back and do recommend to all. There's something for everyone.

Susan M Johnson

Very cool. Very informative. Interactive

Thomas Dettloff

It was not open yet when I was there. The areas I did see look great. The play ground did have interactive play area.
