Food and setup

Indoor farmhouse space depends on the weather and other campus events. Bookings are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to another date, though Common Ground will work with families around weather or other unexpected circumstances.
Our take
4/5Common Ground suits children who would enjoy farm animals and nature activities with an educator leading the group. The two-hour Farm and Nature Playdate gives the birthday a defined program, while the separate pizza-making option lets children prepare personal pizzas with ingredients and supplies included. Setup and cleanup windows help parents manage the day.
Most parties take place outdoors, and farmhouse access depends on weather and other campus events. Some gravel and woodchip paths are difficult for wheelchairs and strollers. Bring food that needs no refrigerator or freezer space, and consider the nonrefundable, nontransferable booking terms before committing.
