Group Picnics

The Barnabe Walnut Grove is two 30′ by 50′ picnic shelters nestled in a grove of walnut trees. A perfect place to have your group picnic, family reunion, class reunion, or any kind of informal get together.

We added an 800 person capacity picnic shelter in 2010 to handle larger groups. This new shelter allows us to accommodate our large picnics in a permanent facility and improve our service. For the largest groups (from about 1,000 to 5,000+ Guests) we provide tents to provide shade and shelter.

Barnabe’s Walnut Grove is located just south of our popular Udders & Putters area, which features miniature golf, a beautiful driving range, and batting cages (both softball and hardball). We serve groups from 50 to over 5,000 with ease. Lots of great food, great service and unlimited fun is included in your picnic package!

Also within walking distance is our working dairy farm with its own animal petting area. On summer and fall weekends, we have wagon ride farm tours and other activities on the farm.

We can create a great meal along with great entertainment for a day you and your group will truly treasure. We are a family fun place, where every member of the family can enjoy the visit to Young’s. Barnabe’s Walnut Grove is just one more reason that Young’s is #1 for Family Fun!.

Picnic & Entertainment Package:

Your Picnic Entertainment Package includes unlimited access to these family fun activities:

Udders & Putters Miniature Golf Course: Two 18 hole, farm theme miniature course with three levels of waterfalls, an authentic windmill, and a cow that moos if you get a hole in one on the 18th hole!

Driving Range: Hit a bucket of balls (or more) on our beautiful driving range. We have 40 grass tees, and 19 mat tees. Well lighted for evening use.

Batting Cages: If you prefer hardball or softball (slow or fast pitch), our batting cage is the place to be. There is a limit of 2 tokens per turn in the batting cages.

Cowvin’s Corny Maze: Do you like to do mazes? Would you like to get lost in a cornfield? Cowvin’s Corny Maze is the place to be! We take a three acre cornfield and convert it to one of the most fun mazes you will ever see. Some make it out in 15 minutes, some it takes 40 minutes. This activity is available from early August to  late October, weather permitting.

Volleyball Court: Next to the picnic area is the sand volleyball court. All you need to supply are the teams and some friendly competition.

Visit with our Goats: While visiting with the farm animals, be sure to say hello to our goats. They love the attention, and are usually quite playful. In the barn, we have other farm animals for you to observe and learn about. You can watch the afternoon milking any day between 4:30 PM and 6 PM.

Room for other activities — We have a lot of space out here in the country. Tell us what your group may want to do, and we’ll see if we can arrange it!

We are responsible for all food preparation and cleanup at the end of your event. Other activities can be arranged.
