rday 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m., Oma's is fun for the whole family! One Adult is FREE with a child's paid admission of $7. What does $7 get you? Every child will get a Jack Patch Pumpkin, bottled water, and entrance to all of the fun activities!
Your kids will enjoy activities such as wandering through the Hay Maze, petting the animals in the petting zoo, sliding down Cottonseed Mountain, tons of games and a huge sand pile with trucks and tractors. Maybe you just take a picnic lunch and enjoy the time at the farm under the shade at the picnic tables!
Oma's is an actual working dairy farm.Since 1960 the Van Ommering family
has been operating this dairy farm which produces raw milk for sale to processors of milk powder products, cheese and butter. Don't forget to hop on a Hayride while visiting the pumpkin patch and tour the farm to see how cows are raised and fed! Hayrides will leave every half hour with the last one departing at 6:30 p.m.
