Alpenrose Dairyville

Alpenrose Dairyville has been around since the early 1960s. It's a small, old-time town set up. Lots of antique items to look at inside the bank, jail, dress store, post office, barn, and more. There's an ice cream parlor in the summer that doubles as a place to visit Santa in the winter. A cute Storybook Lane area has child-size buildings populated with live animals in the Christmas season. Holiday movies play at the Opera House and hot chocolate is served on Main Street. Miniature train displays run during both seasons.

On the grounds you will also find a race track, baseball stadium, and the area's largest Easter Egg Hunt.
