Queen Creek Olive Mill
The first place I'm sharing with you is the QC Olive Mill, it's a family owned olive mill and farm. It is a 100-acre farm that has over 7000 olive trees. And is located at the base of the San Tan Mountains in Queen Creek, AZ.

What's unique about this place is that its a working olive mill that you can come visit, take a tour of to learn all about olive oil and even learn how to properly taste olive oil without bread. What I love most is that you can enjoy A delicious meal with family and friends outside amongst all the olive trees. You should really see this place at night time with all the lights on. It's absolutely breathtaking & makes for a wonderful date night or family outing.
My family and I love coming here. Just recently we came for Valentine's day during Sunday brunch. The food was delicious and there was a live singer for us enjoy while we we ate our meal. Sunday's is the best day to come for brunch as that is when they have live music to enjoy. The restaurant has delicious, Italian inspired meals that use local and garden-sourced ingredients. They also have a gourmet marketplace where you can shop for locally made olive oils, Balsamic vinegars, olives and other local treasures. And there is an in-house coffee roastery, called Superstition Coffee, you will taste some of the freshest coffee you've ever had. With plenty to taste, discover and enjoy, Queen Creek Olive Mill is a unique place that you must experience!
Mansell Community Park in QC

This park has a lot to offer with a unique playground, splash pad for hot days we have tons of those from June to September. There are covered picnic tables that can be reserved. That will come in handy if you want to host your kid's birthday party here.
What I really love is this lake they have created. It's a gorgeous 5 acre lake that is regularly stocked with fish. So you can literally come and fish here for free. Anyone 10 years old or older will need a fishing license. Plus, there is a skate park, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, baseball fields & other fields where you can see many kids playing sports. It is such a beautiful park with plenty parking, there is truly no excuses why you shouldn't come and enjoy.
Schnepf farms

Here we are at a farm called Schnepf farms. This a local QC farm where you can come and pick fresh produce year round. What’s really fun are the events they have throughout the year. During October there’s fun fall activities. A Pumpkin patch where you can pick your own pumpkin, A corn maze, hay rides and they have spooky train ride that the kids love riding at night.
During Christmas the farm looks like Winter wonderland. It's all Xmas themed with Christmas lights strung throughout the farm. There’s a Santa’s workshop. Plus, there's an incredible train ride that's lit with lights and the lights dance to the music that is all done by the World of Illumination.
San Tan Regional Park

Now San Tan Regional Park, this is a great place for people of all ages to enjoy. This park consists of over 10,000 acres of gorgeous Sonoran Desert. The park has elevations that range from about 1,400 feet to over 2,500 feet. This is a great place to come and hike at. My family and I love coming here. What's great is there are different trails to choose from depending on skill level and how far you want to go.
Keep in mind there is a $7 parking fee.
But I consider it a small price to pay as it helps pay for the maintenance of the hiking trails and the bathrooms. Which let me tell you are a sigh of relief after you have been hiking for hours and drinking lots of water.
I hope you find this blog helpful about these unique things to do in Queen Creek.
