The John Deere Pavilion was the highlight of our road trip. The day were were there they had a special Kids Day events planned. We got there first thing in the morning & I started out riding the Gators (they had it set so you could only drive it in 1st gear for the city kids).
Inside the pavilion there was a ton for stuff to look at... history of JD, experimental equipment & more stuff for kids. The mini farm yard was by far my favorite - I could have played there for hours.
John Deere's first tractor... the Waterloo Boy
A fellerbuncher (Do you even know what one of those are???)
A really really big combine
Then we headed to the JD store to buy a few new toys...
Back at the hotel, I played with my new JD equipment.
Later in the day we went back for "Round 2"
(our hotel was only 2 blocks away - so it was good to take a break & have lunch).
Back at the Pavilion, there was a large outdoor sand box featuring JD construction equipment.
They had a cow for milking ( I actually squirted myself in the eye) HA HA!!!
There was a garden for planting & harvesting.
And a Petting Zoo, with Baby pigs... they were so tiny & cute,
Mom wanted to bring on home (she said she would name him Bacon).
Dad's favorite part was the big barn fans with a water mister.
The John Deere Pavilion was an amazing place to visit for the family.
If any of you are interested in seeing some tractors,
