WNY FUN

Looking for Something Fun to do This Week When the Kids are Home on Vacation? ~ I HIGHLY Recommend PolarWave Snowtubing Park

by kim on Sunday, February 17th, 2013

Are you looking for the best time you and your family can have RIGHT HERE in Western New York? Look no further than Batavia! We took the kiddos a couple weekends ago and I was blown away by the awesome time we had. From little Zachary who just turned 2 all the way up to, eh hem, me!

The season is short, so get on over to PolarWave Snowtubing in Batavia, especially if you do not want to pull your little ones up the hill.

Tots are children under 42 inches in height (3.5′)

Tots will receive a smaller tube for their comfort and safety

At Colden tubing your little ones need to be 7 years old!!! Boo! I can’t imagine having fun without my kiddos!

The biggest thing that I noticed was the absolute kindness of the staff that ran the hills. These guys put themselves into their job. It was obvious that they really wanted you to have fun. Each time we got to the top of the hill, they would ask what we wanted to try this time? Do you want to go alone, together, spinning, etc. At the bottom of the hill they always asked “How was it?” I think aside from the crazy fun going down the hill, that stood out most in my memory. They genuinely wanted their customers to have a great time and their words showed it!

Check out their website: PolarWaveBatavia.com

Like Their Facebook Page: PolarWave Snowtubing Park (You never know when they might give away passes, etc.)

The snow is so perfect right now. The lanes are running smooth & fast & far!

Two Safari Tours at Hidden Valley Animal Adventure ~ 60-Acre Park Featuring Over 300 Animals & 30 Exotic Species ~ Varysburg, NY

by kim on Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

Two Safari Tours at Hidden Valley Animal Adventure

A 60-Acre Park Featuring Over 300 Animals & 30 Exotic Species

ALL YOURS FOR JUST $16

A safari adventure is closer than you think! Experience a guided trolley tour through Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, a 60 acre park that features over 300 animals and 30 exotic species including zebra, camel, elk, ostrich, emu, and more!

After the tour visit the Trailside Grill and bar where you can enjoy casual dining and buy some gifts for the family.

This animal adventure lets you get upclose and personal with your favorite animals!

Only 20 minutes off of the 400 in East Aurora.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My husband was just telling me about this place a couple weeks ago. Here is a review from his co-worker Mary:

Hi everyone – If you have never heard of or have never been to Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, I strongly recommend this for adults and kids. It’s a beautiful area located in Varysburg (30 min drive from E.A.-sorry, my only frame of reference!) The biggest attraction is the tractor driven ride through the wild game area. About 30 people can fit into a covered wagon. You are given a large cup full of grain to feed the animals and the adventure begins. You are driven into a area where animals such as; zebra, ostrich, EMU’s, deer, Long horn steer, Llama, Buffalo, donkey’s and various other animals approach the wagon and you feed them and admire their beauty. The ride is about an hour long, stopping periodically to look at different animals. The tour guide we had answered any questions about the animals, their habitats, the babies, feeding habits, etc. It was both enjoyable and entertaining. There are 4 wagons available and tours are every 20 minutes, so if you miss one, the next one will be along shortly. The cost for this tour is $16, kids under 10 are, I believe $12 (There is a buy one get one free coupon in the Entertainment book)

There is also a small petting zoo. Shetland ponies, goats, Llama, pigs, etc. You can view a Camel and also a kangaroo! Also, a beautiful lodge to get food and drinks-reasonably priced. Right now the grounds are covered with beautiful areas of flowers. Ducks and geese are plentiful, as well as their babies. I believe Saturday they have an enormous bonfire. Never have seen that much kindling in my life!

Check out the website for available dates as they have several weddings coming up, and therefore the area is closed to the public.

This a great family adventure. We stayed about 4.5 hrs and enjoyed the day immensely – of course those who know me well know that I am an animal lover and certainly may have enjoyed this more than others would. Take a look at the website to see if this might interest you…..

- A few photo’s for your viewing. NOTE: For those who do not like animals or their slobber, THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR YOU! (Purell sanitizer stations are plentiful!)
