Not knowing the age of kids you will be with but having an 8 yr old and 12 yr old myself, I can say that it is very kid friendly. There is a large space for them to run and explore. The walking trails are 1.5 miles at most (I think) and are beautiful walks for them to ramble. Of course any ranch room that is staged as part of the living history cannot be touched or played with as is usual but I will say the docents present were patient and kind and very conversational with our boys. They are happy you are there. If the animals are out that will be a bonus for littles. Logistically speaking, the bathrooms are centrally locates and clean. The food was well priced with large sized portions and kid-friendly. Try it!
