The house was nice but the bus tour was even better. The bus's a/c was not good on a hot and humid day but we survived :) The tour ladies were very knowledgeable! I would recommend it to everyone and anyone. More

You seem to get the party line about the Amish here. We went on a Sunday after noon and did the house tour and then went for a drive after words. On the drive we saw things that didn't quite go with what we were told about the Amish. But is was a nice place to visit and get an... More

I think this is a great place to begin your Amish Country experience. The tour guides are well informed, and it was cool to see an Amish house. However, once you make friends with and end up visiting a real working Amish family-this can not compete. I also found the massive Target (I Love Target) a distraction. This is not... More

The tour guides employed here really know their stuff. They provide a lot of info about the Amish way of life. I also took the nus tour through the countryside and stopped at a couple of Amish businesses. More

We did a tour of the Amish Farm and House - we had an amazing guide who was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. We then got to roam the farm which was fun - there was a little baby goat and new piglets to look at, we rode the scooters and then we went on to look at... More

Coming back here after 20 years it was a shame to see the property surrounded now by a Target & a strip mall. Attraction is now owned by a land developer who chose to keep this attraction going. The house tour was a great way for my daughter to learn about the Amish life. We did a quick barn tour... More

This is the attraction located by Target. Our family (1st grader, teen, adults and seniors) enjoyed our visit and would recommend this highly - EXCEPT if it is a really hot day or they are crowded with bus tours. It was a beautiful day when we were there and we were able to really enjoy the various areas. I would... More
