Food scene

This is Ginni’s fav restaurant in town. It’s sooooo yummy. It’s also one of the few places you can’t make reservations so either go a bit early or grab a beer or a Painkiller at the bar and wait.

Although it’s in a different location than when I was in high school, it’s still an institution. Interesting flavors and something for everyone. They have ice cream made with hemp milk, cashew milk, regular milk, etc and every flavor you can imagine. So worth the trip.

Kid Stuff

Fun stuff for kids (specifically younger) and families
My 4 and 7 year olds LOVE this place. It is super clean and they can run themselves ragged. Parents can play with them ( you’ll break a sweat) or watch and lounge while you order anything from a local craft beer to a cup of coffee. Bring socks or they sell them. No reservations needed and no time limits. Worth the admission.

Sightseeing

It’s beautiful and easy. They have really cool exhibits like the LEGO exhibit. If you visit during the holidays, you must go to Winter Lights. It’s just gorgeous and not crowded because they only sell so many tix a night. Fun for everyone. Get tix early though since almost every night sells out in advance. There are also trails for hiking around the Arboretum.

If you’ve never been there, it’s an absolute must see. It’s breathtaking. Take the day and see it all. Christmas is beautiful but very busy and crowded. Fall is gorgeous and in May they have the Festival of Flowers. Those are my picks. Get tickets in advance.

There’s everything you’d want from an apple orchard including beautiful views. At the top of a mountain, this place is good fun for the whole family. The kids loved the Bee Train, the apple cannon, the bamboo forest, the apple cider donuts, the playground, the frozen apple cider, the animals, and the playground. It was a wonderful day. Pick your own honey crisp, gala, fuji…whatever’s in season. Worth the drive to Zirconia.
