Entry Date: - 7/6/2010 - Jon C. - We drove by the park about a week or so ago while vacationing in the area. They have a sign up that reads the park will be opening June 2011.
Entry Date: - 7/2/2010 - brenda ostrom - I recently purchased some gift certificates from channel 25 to Deer Acres that expire December of 2010. We were planning a family vacation to that area in August and were planning on coming to Deer Acres. In reading that the park is closed, will you be able to honor the gift certificates next year when you are open?
Entry Date: - 6/19/2010 - Rick - The last poster was absolutely correct. There are negotiations underway and the park will be open for sure in SPRING of 2011!!!! It would be very difficult to get all pre-opening maintainance and any planned improvements done to open for this summer (2010). There is a chance that it may be ready for some type of Fall/ Halloween program and possibly the car show this year. Right now a lot of ideas are being discussed but REST ASSURED....every effort willl be made to make it all that we remember and enjoyed from years past and hopefully more.....! OH YES..THE ANIMALS WILL BE THERE TOO!!!!!!!
Entry Date: - 6/18/2010 - Randy - this link was posted today (June 18th, 2010). The link is below, but here is a quick excerpt from the article:
"We won''t be open this year, but I''m sure it will be next year," said Cederberg, who found himself as the park''s owner again after selling the business on a land contract and getting it back when the deal fell apart. "We''re doing the paperwork and hopefully we''ll have a new buyer sometime soon."

Entry Date: - 6/17/2010 - mary yeakle - I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANY INFORMATION ON DEER ACRES IF IT IS GOING TO OPEN THIS YEAR? thanks.mary
Entry Date: - 5/14/2010 - Mrs Thompson - Bob-I REALLY appreciate your update, as we were tenatively planning a trip to ''Deer Acres'' at the end of the month. You saved us a LOT of fuel costs & disappointment for the kids; much obliged!
Entry Date: - 5/12/2010 - Bob Naismith - I don''t know where the last poster found his information, but it''s totally in correct.
The park has never had a connection with anyone from Texas! The Cedarberg family
built Deer Acres in 1959 and owned it until last year, when a family from the Chicago area purchased the park. These folks didn''t make it and lost the park back to Roger
Cedarberg last fall. He has since sold it again to a Bay City businessman. They''re
trying to get everything together to close on the sale, but until they do, no one is
sure if the park will get open this year. If it does, it will be a short season as the new
buyer has big plans to change the park, which requires time when the park isn''t open
to the public. He can get a lot done with it closed and the weather is still warm. If I hear
an more news about Deer Acres, I''ll post it here.
Entry Date: - 4/6/2010 - guy martin - The park is now for sale by a Texas owner and is also closed
Entry Date: - 7/8/2009 - Christa - It''s been years since my kids were small and they so enjoyed Deer Acres . It''s time now for us to take our Granddaughter on our way to Sand Lake. How much is admission for under 5 kids and for grandparents? What are your hours, I don''t want to be late!
Entry Date: - 6/9/2009 - Kimberly McDaniel - Hello, yes we are having the annual car show this season the date for that is Saturday July 12, 2009! So come by and enjoy. We are trying to update the website so in the future you can look to that for upcoming events and changes.
Entry Date: - 6/2/2009 - Les Stamm - Hi: Will you be having the annual car show this year ?????and if you are when is it??
Thank You

Entry Date: - 7/20/2008 - Julie Brown - The sign out front says Celebrating 50 years time to retire park for sale! Has been up atleast 3 months that atleast could be longer
Entry Date: - 6/18/2008 - Tim - Can anyone tell me if there is any truth to a rumor i heard that Deer Acers is up for sale and may close if a buyer is not found. It''s a historic part of bay co. that would be a shame to loose.
Entry Date: - 2/4/2008 - Unknown - Im 40 and took my 6yr old daughter here and took identicle pictures in the same spots as when i was 6.It hasnt changed much.We always used to beg to go there when we came home from up north.
Entry Date: - 8/9/2005 - Rich S - I just visited the park with my 3 year old daughter. Great place for young children! We enjoyed the ferris wheel, antique cars and petting zoo. We went on a Saturday afternoon and found the park was not overly crowded, which made the experience that much better. I found the entire park area to be well kept and clean. Park employees were really nice and attentive. I only wish I had more time to spend there!
