Take away their PlayStations, iPads and cell phones and take the kids to the 300-acre Hull-O-Farms on a vacation that will bring them closer to the real world of hard work and that will help you reconnect as a family. They will get to play with the puppies, kittens, baby chicks, tiny goats, and fluffy rabbits. They can climb a pile of hay, get lost in a corm maze, or stumble through the pumpkin patch.

Hull-O Farms are true working farms in the Northern Catskill Mountains in upstate New York that offer a family vacation of a very different kind. You are free to get involved in all daily farm chores, or you can just relax on the porch of one of three rental cottages spread around the spacious, lovely farm. Each cottage is a complete home with a private bathroom, kitchen, living room, and all modern amenities, decorated in the charming farm cottage style. If the kids are cooperating, you can reward them with a trip to the Zoom Flume Water Park just down the road or to the nearby 156-feet deep prehistoric Howe Caverns.
