During the fall, Koetsier’s Greenhouse in Grand Rapids, Mich., turns much of its greenhouse space in a children’s activity center, complete with pumpkin painting, rides and Disney-themed inflatables. Better yet, they are able to charge for each activity and still draw nice crowds. Check out this slideshow of how they make it work.
