| - KITTEN PALACE.
I think I've found my happy place. Eugster's is a working farm, but they also have a slew of family-friendly activities. One of those activities is the kitten palace. From the outside, the kitten palace just looks like a little shack. It also looks like a little shack on the inside, but there is also the bonus of a dozen tiny, perfect, cuddly kittens that you can snuggle to your heart's content.
THERE ARE LITERALLY BASKETS OF KITTENS. I don't know if I can stress the amazingness of this little room enough. The cats are rescues that are being socialized for adoption, and they are tiny, tiny balls of fur. Children aren't allowed to pick them up, but as a full-grown adult who is as excited as a child, I get the best of both worlds (and get to make kiddos happy while I hold out kittens for them to pet like I work there while giving the teens who actually do a break). Win-win.
In addition the kitten palace (as if you need to know any more), there are goats, fish, myriad birds, horses, apple picking, a pumpkin patch, tractor rides, a 3-D "haunted" house and silo, magic and puppet shows, delicious cider and cider donuts, two corn mazes, and more for an entire afternoon of fun during their fall festival weekends. At night, Eugster's turns into Screamin' Acres, a decent haunted house. Not the scariest, but not a cake walk, either.
At other times of year Eugster's offers up some of the tastiest sweet corn I've ever had along with other goods at their farm market. They have special events throughout the year and also offer school and corporate trips to the farm.
The kitten palace, though. I don't know if anything will ever top that for me.
