Seneca Creek State Park has a great shredded rubber playground with giant tire snake and the momma of all tire swings. The sand volleyball pit doubles as a ginormous sand box when no one is using it. The nature hut has alot of great natural artifacts to touch including turtle shells, preserved beetles and bones. Nearby Brusters Ice Cream is one of those classic ice cream stands with a ton of different flavors and picnic tables to take a break. http://www.brusters.com/

Clark's Elioak Farm

We recently hosted a birthday party here. Admission to the farm includes the opportunity to play with the many historic play-sets from the old Enchanted Forest amusement park that closed in the late 80's. These sets include a life size old lady and the shoe-house with slide attached, the 3 bears' home and about 10 other playhouses. Any one of which alone could serve as the "childrens" area for one of the other local farms. An additional two dollar charge each buys you a pony ride, cow-train or tour around the farm on a hayride. Party bookings include a party manager who keeps your group coherent and having fun. The staff is helpful and friendly in a way you only find in a family-run business.
