## About

Perched in the rolling hills of Bloomfield Hills, Bowers School Farm transforms into a winter playground featuring an illuminated snow tubing hill, an open-air ice rink, and working farm exhibits. The specially engineered tubing surface operates smoothly in all weather conditions, letting children and parents zoom down groomed chutes without needing deep natural snow.

Park admission to explore the historic farm, visit barnyard goats and sheep, and gather around the roaring communal bonfires is free. Tubing operates in organized 50-minute timed sessions with tubes provided. Afterward, visit the Farm Store for fresh roasted marshmallows, hot apple cider, grilled cheese sandwiches, and warm farm-baked cookies.
