Big Fun is…well,….big fun!

Big Fun

There’s a reason that arcade and board games have stood the test of time. They continue to entice game players of all ages, and of all skill levels. For example, skee ball and carpet ball are ridiculously easy to play but create enough challenge to keep players engaged for long periods of time, with the prospect of bettering their performance with each new game. Butter and Egg Adventures has created the perfect solution for pandemic-era game playing by installing the new Big Fun games area outdoors, with ample room for distancing and socializing at once. Located under the pines, near the parking area, Big Fun offers the following games:

Four In A Row At Butter And Egg Adventures
  • 4-in-a-Row (a stand-up version of Connect Four)
  • Tumbling Tower (stackable, repositionable blocks like Jenga)
  • Carpet Ball (a favorite of summer campers, everywhere)
  • 2 lanes of Skee Ball….sorry, no redeemable tickets are dispensed.
  • Corn Hole
  • Battle of the Seas (stand-up version of the board game, Battleship)
Skee Ball At Butter And Egg Adventures

Most games are familiar to guests and need no explanation, but if necessary, Butter and Egg staff will be happy to get you started and acquaint you with games rules and objectives. Many hours of work and effort went into constructing Big Fun in such a way that school-age guests through adults can enjoy themselves with little supervision. However, guests must return all playing equipment to its original positions or containers when finished. Big Fun is not to be used as a play area for pre-school-aged children.

Battle Of The Seas At Butter And Egg Adventures

Guests who are on-site for Adventure Packages, special events, and other recreation are welcome to spend time at Big Fun. We simply ask that you are mindful of others who may be waiting for their turn to play a game so that everyone has opportunity to have Big Fun! Don’t forget that we still have plenty of other things to do while here, including Zip Lines, Laser Tag, Axe Throwing and Tree Challenge Courses.

What’s Happening at Butter and Egg Adventures!

What’s Happening?

Just like many other small businesses across the country, Butter and Egg Adventures has seen a large decrease in both customers and revenue since March 2020. Our hearts go out to them and we wish them a speedy recovery.  During this downturn we kept ourselves busy by updating and maintaining our facilities in the hope that we will be back to one hundred percent soon.  However, since much of our business is generated from group events—church retreats, school groups, etc.– we don’t see that happening before the end of the year. 

In the last ten days, we have opened our “Ziplining Only” package, as well as several of our venues for individuals or small family-sized groups.  We are keeping groups separated and following social distancing rules and procedures.  We can provide our Zip Line Only packages, Axe Throwing, Waterfront, Laser Tag, Golf Practice and Climbing Wall activities to these individuals or small family groups.

We strive to maintain a 6 foot distance from our customers and that is why we are only offering a limited number of activities.  During these activities, we encourage our guests to wear face coverings and we will wear ours if requested.  We do require that all groups and individuals call us to make reservations for their visit to Butter and Egg Adventures.  You can reach us at 334.670.9953 or 334.670.9954 to do so. 

Axe Throwing At Butter And Egg Adventures
Axe Throwing Venue

As mentioned above, we have opened two new venues that are now available for use.  The “Axe Throwing” venue is located adjacent to our Low Ropes Course and has three throwing lanes.  We are booking this venue in one-hour increments and each lane accommodates a maximum of six participants.  We do require closed toe shoes for this venue.

We have also just opened Phase 1 or our Golf Practice area, which is located near our waterfront facility.  This practice area has hitting stations in various distances from our Island Green.  This venue is designed for “short irons” only and has six different approaches (103-164 yards) to the green.  We are using floating golf balls and these balls will have about a five percent decrease in distance, compared to regular golf balls.  We charge $8.00 for a medium bucket and $10.00 for a large bucket of balls.  We also have two sand bunkers nearby for practicing bunker shots.  This venue requires a phone call to reserve your time in order to ensure no overlapping of activity venues.

As we proceed in these unique times, we may have to make changes to our available venues and our procedures, so please make sure that you keep up with us via our social media pages.  We look forward to seeing you at Butter and Egg Adventures soon!

The History of Butter and Egg Adventures

Our story: The History of Butter and Egg Adventures

Now for the history of our facility. Back in 2001, owner Ron Pierce began offering baseball camps to area youth featuring half-day baseball training with half-day outdoor recreation using the existing swimming pool, lake and spacious grounds for group games. With the addition of a climbing wall and a single Zipline over the lake, the experience became known as “Camp Butter and Egg,” aptly named for the road on which we’re located.

Through the years, baseball camps expanded to include summer sports camps featuring tennis, golf, and softball instruction. At the same time, the camp added additional recreation fields, more ziplines, challenge courses, a camp lodge, and enhanced waterfront activities.

Once co-owner Susan Pierce joined the staff full-time in 2007, the addition of teambuilding, expanded food services, and hosting non-athletic groups started to take shape. In 2012, with a rapidly-growing business focused on group recreation and overnight retreats, the decision was made to discontinue sports training and focus all energies on developing a unique outdoor recreation and retreat center serving from two people to groups of several hundred persons at once.

Why “Butter and Egg?”

According to local sources, the road was named for the practice of area farmers selling their homemade butter and harvested eggs along the roadside to “city folks” from Troy who traveled down the “butter-and-egg-road” to make their purchases. We’re told that the farmers who actually occupied the site on which we now operate, struggled to make a living with their crops so they actually began the practice of selling butter and eggs, which later caught on with other local farmers.

Thanks for becoming part of “Our Story”, by your participation today!

Ron and Susan Pierce
