Platteville, Colorado: Miller Farms - Goofy Attractions

Make sure you walk around back for more cars and airplanes. But if you don't want to pull into the property, you can pull over on the roadside shoulder and get pics.

We stopped here for 15 minutes and so glad we did. The kids had a great time climbing on things, inspecting the fun outdoor spaceships, rockets, antique aircraft and cars, looking at hens and crowing roosters, chasing rabbits. Miller Farms is only 5 minutes from highway 25.

Wow. They didn't look open when I passed by and I didn't want to be disrespectful by traipsing on their property as there is a private residence onsite. They seem to have different little seasonal fests. Definitely a lot to look at. I'm going back when they are open. I didn't get to see the giant shoe but the cars they have decorated in the front are just awesome. It looks like they have a maze, based on the overhead satellite view.

We went on a Sunday around noon and we were the only ones there. It's a pretty ghetto place, but cool for the kids. The Cars characters and rooster are still out front. There is a building and we noticed a staff person inside so we went in. There were lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and she said we could walk around the "festival" area for free. There were some bumper cars, chickens, UFOs, a little bit of everything.

Miller Farms is an actual working farm, with a few goofy added attractions that have little to no correlation to farming. At the front of the farm, alongside the road, they have replicas of the entire cast from Disney/Pixar's "Cars." There's also an 8-foot tall rooster, in case you'd like to have your photo taken next to a giant humorous innuendo. Out back they have a replica of Herbie the Love Bug, an 8-foot tall giant shoe with real shoelaces, a large horned-beetle statue, a yellow brick road that leads to a small fake western town, and much more.

Apparently they have group activities for school children during their spring/fall festivals (for an admission), however we visited on a weekend afternoon and were free to wander about freely.
