It is educational for the little ones and the plants are nice but it seems like there could be so much more to this area. The water play area is great for hot days but lack of shade makes it less refreshing than it could be. C for effort with room for improvement.

Really, really, boring. Only go here if you have ABSOLUTELY nothing else to do.

See better exhibits driving down the road or at the local hardware. this is not up to Disney standard

A farm themed area could be very pleasant - as someone else wrote "theme" is more than ridges BUT! When I went it seemed crowded together, messy, poorly signed, and featuring the cheapest, easiest to grow flowers from the local hardware megastore. Rows, even little ones, of cherry trees in bloom; weird looking plants like artichoke; some signage. This could be great for people who want a break and an Epcot-like presentation on CA farms.

Dear Disney,
WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING!!! Come on like anyone would go look at a exhibit of plants and fake animals. You can look at that for free at the corner store. And hey remember me im the person who passed out of the first site of this exhibit.

Not much here to do. Room for expansion. Water fountain play area good for a hot day.

I give it a 2. I keep in mind THEME park experiences is more than rides, and this decorative/interactive area supplements the overall atmosphere of DCA and makes for a nice little 5 minute jaunt...providing it's during the day, and warm.

A waste of space that makes be think that disney just ran out of money


User ID: BrigmanMT   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (3/23/2001)
I think that this area is justing filling up space for future attraction. I did think that it was kind of cool to see a picture of my little california town taht barly anybody knows about. Look for yours if you live in California.

Maybe it was the fact we were here late in the day. Only Cats Members around were at the CAT Tractor. Kids loved that, but whole area was basically a bust. Needs some more folks to make it interactive?

Unless you want to know who was the first Artichoke Queen (Marilyn Monroe), then you should skip this "attraction." Not much to see or do here except a water play area for kids.

For those with a "green thumb," it can be an intriguing area. It is less likely to hold the interest of others, though.

User ID: DoodleDuck   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (3/10/2001)
Obviously a last minute space waster. Ridiculous in a pricey theme park.

User ID: dlport   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (2/17/2001)
A lot more interesting that what I thought it would be, but admittedly I chose to visit on a slow day with time to kill.

User ID: KarenW2   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/12/2001)
Boring! They told us at the Panel Discussion that this was the area Eisner said had to be added at the last minute, but surely they could've done better than this. We hope they come up with something new to see & do here and soon!

User ID: DisneylandMoose   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/12/2001)
If I want to see this type of attraction, I can go to the local fair! In fact the local fair would be more enjoyable. Time to get rid of this area!

User ID: ni_teach   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/8/2001)
A great place to watch grass grow.

It reminded us of a County Fair.

I always wonered where I could take my family to see an honest to God lifesize fiberglass cow. Thanks Disney!

Wow, a bunch of stuff that grows and...uhhh... well a bunch of stuff that grows.

User ID: dumptv   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/5/2001)
Pretty boring- I would not really count this as an attraction. I felt like I was on a school field trip. At least I was not forced to stand there and listen to someone tell me all about those plants! It might be cool for people from big cities, because California really does grow a lot of vegatables!!

Interesting if you are a gardner, which I am. However, the area had a "County Fair" feel to it and I wondered if children would find it interesting.

User ID: boscal   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/4/2001)
Very county fair. Nice to see once, but will get old really fast for repeat visitors.

User ID: Brer Rabbit   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (2/4/2001)
Not something to base a park around, but still a nice addition to enhance detail.
