No charge for guests under 3.

You may use the indoor party and garden areas for 2.5 hours. However, you and your guests are more than welcome to come early or stay after your party (during hours of operation) to play on the farm. You must watch the time and remove your personal items from the party area prior to the end of your 2.5 hours as we need to prepare for the next party. You may stay in the campfire areas for longer time frames.
5What is the indoor party area like?
The indoor party areas are located in our banquet facility, The Homestead of Radnor. This building is heated and cooled with indoor restrooms. There is also a full working kitchen that may be used upon prior request. The entire banquet room is 60 foot by 70 foot and can comfortably divided into 4 sections to hold 4 regular size parties or up to 300 guests if having a large party. Each party has their own section with enough picnic tables to seat its guests as well as 2 additional serving tables. There are electrical outlets by the serving tables. There are no walls between party areas, but the main room is not open to the public, although the restrooms are. All play areas are within close walking distance.
