Happy Acres Ranch

I when to Happy achers from the age of 11 all the way to 20 as a assistant ridding instructor with Lorraine Roe who is the instructor I have ever had. I miss camp very much and would recommend this camp for all children and parents. This camp made it me The person I am today! I love them all so much for everything!

I've lived in Jax my whole life and have never heard of this place and nobody at our party has either. But this was a breath of fresh air from the normal birthday party venues. We had our son's 4th birthday party here and it was really wonderful! We were booked for a 3 hour party. The kids really enjoyed the pony rides! The petting zoo was cool and wasnt as big of a hit as I expected but they enjoyed seeing the animals. The playground was the biggest hit of all. They all got to run wild, just be kids and the older boys played basketball on the court. We planned organized games but the kids had such a great time between the pony rides and playground we ran out of time! There were clean bathroom facilities, nice picnic tables, and plenty of seating. We had a large party with probably 40 people, half were kids and the facilities accommodated us well! Excellent place for a party for kids or a family function if the weather is good. We had beautiful weather and we thoroughly enjoyed it! I would rate it 5 stars but there was a long board with rusty nails about 1.5-2 inches long face up on the ground between the petting zoo area and pony rides right where the kids were running around. Thank God my husband found it before anybody got hurt! With so many kids around this establishment on a day to day this should not be a concern. If you book your party here, remember, It is a farm so have someone walk the grounds to check for hazards like these. Also there were flies that made it difficult to keep the food and cakes uncovered on the buffet table. But I was able to eat my food with no problems. Some flies should be expected considering it's a farm! We will definitely consider this place for future events! I loved it!

My children are the fourth generation of kids in my family to attend Happy Acres summer camp. They have a special place in my heart. This is a true camp experience with all of the dirt that comes with being outside. My kids come home covered in dirt from head to toe, and so so tired. But most importantly, they come home happy.

All of my children have gone here and they love it! it's such a great place. Teachers and staff are so caring. The staff comes back year after year so always a familiar face to see. It's a place where your kids can be kids. Mine come home covered in dirt from playing outdoors. They have horses and animals, nature walks, lakes pools. It's one of the best daycares/summer camps here!

Of all the daycares my kids attended, I love this one. The academic environment is very encouraging and the teachers are awesome. My older one who is in elementary right now loves going back to FTM during holidays. My little one is in the toddler program and misses going to school on weekends. That speaks a lot about the nurturing environment and teachers over there.
