Daycare and School groups.

On Tuesday September 7 we had approximately 54 children and 10 adults come out from a daycare in Winnipeg. They had a ton of fun in the Scarecrow Forest. I think the biggest hit was all of our cats. The price is $7.00 per person and includes one activity (train ride or zip line), extra activities are $1.50 each.

Youth Groups

Penner Pumpkins loves having youth groups come and visit the forest. We hide a live scarecrow in the forest and the youth have to try and find this scarecrow. The price also includes a zip line ride. Step off the platform into complete darkness as you zip down the line. After you wander the path and try the zip line sit around the fire pit and roast some marshmallows and sip some hot chocolate. Cost is $8.00 per person and make sure to bring a flash light. To reserve your youth group phone Shirley at 371-5556.
