Every big lumberjack needs an equally legendary crew! While Paul and Babe the Blue Ox get a lot of the spotlight, our trails are full of some pretty unique characters.

Have you ever tipped your hat to The Cowboy? Spotted Henry the Squirrel gathering acorns? Or tried to figure out which end of Sport the Reversible Dog is which? Jonny Ink Slinger is always busy keeping track of Paul's massive logging logs, but he loves a good wave from passing adventurers!

Keep your eyes peeled next time you visit—you never know who you'll meet around the corner.

When was the first time you heard a 26-foot lumberjack boom out your name? For over 70 years, we’ve watched children look up in pure amazement—only to return decades later holding the hands of their own grandchildren.

Summer is officially here, making it the perfect season to share the stories of your youth. Walk through the Pioneer Village, point out the vintage treasures you remember from growing up, and give the next generation a memory they’ll carry with them forever.

Rumor has it that Paul Bunyan’s favorite part of the weekend is the snacks... and honestly, we can't blame him!

Nothing says "timeless summer day" quite like the smell of fresh concessions winding through the park. Treat the kids (and yourself!) to classic park favorites while you wander between the rides and the Petting Barns. Because let's face it—mini donuts, hot snacks, and cold treats just taste better when you're exploring a legend's backyard.

We’re open until 6 PM today. Come grab a treat and stay for the fun!

Today’s family challenge: How many steps can you take, how many rides can you spin on, and how many memories can you pack into a single Saturday?

If you've been looking for the perfect excuse to shut off the tablets, close the laptops, and get the kids moving, we have 10 AM to 6 PM completely covered. Fill your lungs with fresh Up North air, test your courage on the Space Shuttle, and let the kids burn off that endless summer energy.

The sun is out and the rides are spinning—come smash your weekend goals with us!

The weekend weather is looking beautiful, and the rides are calling! If you're heading our way this Saturday or Sunday, here is your quick parent-to-parent checklist for an amazing day:

👟 Comfortable shoes for exploring 45+ buildings and the amusement rides.

📷 A camera or phone fully charged (you're going to want photos when Paul says your child's name!).

🍩 Appetites ready for classic park concessions.

🐐 A little extra time to pet the goats in the Petting Barns.

We’re open 10 AM to 6 PM all weekend long. We can't wait to see you!

Trade the tablet screens for the open air today! We are officially open for the summer, and the sun is shining down on the Brainerd Lakes Area.

If your family needs to run, spin, laugh, and explore, we’ve got 10 AM to 6 PM completely covered. From dizzying spins on the rides to walking through history, this is the kind of tired-out-happy your kids will talk about all week long. Come make today a "remember when" day.

Remember when a day at the park felt huge?

The rides seemed taller.
The treats tasted better.
The car ride home was quiet because everyone was worn out in the best possible way.

That kind of day is still here.

Paul Bunyan Land opens this Saturday, May 23 from 10 AM–6 PM, and it’s the perfect place to bring the next generation for a day that feels like summer used to feel.

Walk through Pioneer Village. Visit the Petting Barns. Ride the rides. Take the picture.

Plan your visit and make a memory they’ll talk about later.
