Depending on the establishment you choose, several activities may be available. Enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride, a hike through the maple grove, or a visit to the farm animals. You can also indulge in various forms of entertainment: music, traditional dance, and more.

Your visit allows you to purchase a host of local maple-flavored products. Stock your pantry with alcoholic beverages (wines, whiskeys, etc.), salad dressings, sugar pies, spreads, candies, and much more.
When to go?
Some sugar shacks require reservations, while others welcome visitors at any time during maple syrup season. Check beforehand to ensure you get a spot. Also, the date and time of your visit will vary depending on the experience you’re looking for (and your availability, of course!).
