Everyone loves seeing pictures of sunflowers and they never get old! Whether you take a picture for the family Christmas card or a funny shot with friends, the photo is guaranteed to be a winner.
Family-Friendly Activities
The list of activities is as long as the many rows of sunflowers at Copper Creek Farm! There are 25 activities to try and all of them are included with the price of admission ($17.76 plus tax). Start off your day with a classic wagon hayride and then stop in to see an animated chicken show, watch the pig races or pet the animals at the petting barn. Don’t forget to stop by the honey bee barn, barnloft slide or the duck races to race your own rubber duckies. If you’re looking for some extra excitement, check out the monster watermelon cannon or even take a ride on the mechanical bull!

There’s nothing like fresh-squeezed lemonade on a hot summer day! Copper Creek Farm also sells homemade ice cream, using only the freshest ingredients. They have ice cream sundaes, banana splits, root beer floats, milkshakes and more sweet treats guaranteed to make you smile. If you’re in the mood for something a little more savory, they offer pizza, nachos and a good old-fashioned BBQ sandwich.
