Visitors can take photos with handmade characters from the"Minions: The Rise of Gru" movie that feature painted pumpkins for heads at Jerry Smith Farm, 7150 18th Street in Kenosha.Jerry Smith Farm offers two different yet complementary experiences for families. For those who’d rather not pay to get into the activity area, meandering around hand-painted pumpkin dioramas is still a fun way to entertain the kiddos.
The paid activity area, however, is a parents’ dream. Picnic tables throughout encourage adults in the family to sit and chat while the children climb aboard tractors, feed goats, run through a hay maze, then try to bounce higher than each other on a jumping pillow. Noelle Janczak runs through the hay maze Sept. 24, 2022 at Jerry Smith Farm, 7150 18th St. in Kenosha.
We met my sister’s family at Jerry Smith Farm and this was our experience. It was easy to keep track of Boone and his cousins, Jase and Noelle Janczak — we just followed the sounds of their laughter and excitement. Every few minutes, one of them wandered over to the table for a sip of an apple cider slushie before bolting toward another activity.“We got to go to a little tent with different animals, and it sounded like one goat burped, but it might have been a sheep,” he said.
