Can you think of a better name for a place to take a toddler?
When I first told some non-parent friends about Tractorland, they assumed it was an amusement park like Disneyland or Legoland. And it is – in the mind of a toddler.
Tractorland is a Kubota dealership just outside of Calgary. We passed it on the way in to town and I made a mental note to bring Zacharie back. After all, when we took him to Hastings Park in Vancouver, he was most excited about the tractors grooming the track in between races instead of the horses in the paddock.
So can you imagine the thrill he gets when he goes to a parking lot filled with tractors?
“Daddy, I wanna drive this one!” He would scream before spotting a different one across the lot and waving “Hi Tractor Tom!”
Got a Mighty Machines thrilled toddler?
Take a weekend day trip to your city works yard to see all the garbage trucks parked in a row. Get outside the city and find your neighborhood “tractorland” where the farmers go to get their machines. Heck, just go to your local pickup truck dealer and let him point and drool. It’s free to look around, the propreitors are used to the toddler attention and are friendly and your son will swear it was the best day ever.
What an awesome idea, Jesse is really starting to get into all the different machines; definitely going to do this with him. Another place that he loves to go to is the lot right off of McKnight Blvd where you can watch the planes land and take off, since he's so into planes now also.
And if you or he ever needs a tractor, you'll remember where they were friendly to you too, won't you?
