Fair Oaks Farms

We camp in Indiana a lot so Fair Oaks is on our way. It can be a zoo and hard to get food and the gift shop is tacky, but it really clean. I rec'd a divide and conquer--one person get in the ice cream line (best strawberry milkshake ever) and another one buy cheese ( particularly rec'd the aged gouda). Try the food if the food line is short--grilled cheese and French onion soup are very good, but only if the line is short.

It is a good place to stop with kids because they can run around a bit.

Awesome place especially for kids 0 to 10 yrs! The new pig barn is awesome, shows the whole process from artificial insemination to birth to weaning... Kids can watch the real pigs as well as do an ultrasound on a fake pig etc. The dairy barn bus tour is great as well, the giant milking carousel amazing... My boys 1.5 and 3.5 yrs were impressed, adults can learn a thing or two as well, there is lots of kid's entertainment like a climbing wall, inflatable, little John Deer tractors to ride and more. Food is worth trying, not too expensive, ice cream is fantastic. We will make a trip here every summer from now on, it's about 1 hr from Chicago.

This place is a ton of fun for families.  THere is so much to do and learn as well as awesome, fresh food.  The only drawback I would say is the pricing of the food is borderline ridiculous, but as mentioned it cannot get much fresher than this place.  Absolutely worth a visit as you are cruising by on 65!
