Birthday Parties
Make your child’s next birthday an old-fashioned birthday party at the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead!
Kids from 6-12 will have great time dressing up and experiencing life at a historic pioneer farmhouse from the 1880s. And while they have a great time, they’ll be learning how different things were for kids just like them over a hundred years ago.
They’ll get to sample games and toys from the 1800s, see what a child’s room was like, do chores (yes, chores!) like washing clothes in an old tin tub, learn how to make a scarecrow, and more! Older kids will enjoy becoming Junior Archaeologists for the day.
Birthday Packages
A number of Birthday Packages are available, including one with guided pony rides (additional cost). If you don’t see a package you want, please ask. Book your Pioneer Farmstead Birthday Party now for an experience your child won’t forget.
Each package includes 90 minutes of fun, outdoor activities led by the Park Ranger or docents in period costume. Costs are $15 per guest – $150 minimum, 16 guests maximum. We provide picnic tables in two separate shaded locations. Birthday family brings cake, drinks, and napkins.
