2) Stellwag's Hidden Acres Farm
116 Hartford Road
Delran/Moorestown, NJ
This farm does not advertise big because they don't need to. A wonderful family owned farm that sells great flowers in warm weather, has hayrides in the fall, and also has "Sleigh Rides" after Thanksgiving until Christmas. Ride in a carriage with a blanket and bells through this beautiful farm. My kids loved it. The staff puts snowmen and winter stand-ups all around the farm for the kids to find while riding. When back inside, they usually have some kind of warm drink like cider and one of the best Santa's I've seen. Never a line to sit on his lap and take a free picture.

The "Please Touch" museum sounds like a hoot :) cheers!
I'm sure it is fun... but I have learned to live (quite comfortably) in a place where cold winters and snow are relegated to childhood memories :-}
