Fon du Lac Farm Park in East Peoria offers children a unique glimpse of what 1920’s farm life was like. Opened in 1981 the Farm Park has
become a treasured destination for children and families.
The park offers a variety of outdoor activities that a child would have experienced living on a farm including feeding the animals and playing in the barn. The country kitchen museum gives a glimpse of great grandmother’s life. The one room schoolhouse brings back
memories for many and helps children visualize the simplicity of this era. The feed shed (concession stand) offers a kid-approved menu at affordable prices with a variety of lunch specials. Enjoy browsing in the general store or spend some time relaxing on a garden swing
