In Massachusetts, there are countless places for a day of family fun. Between the beaches, amusement parks, zoos, and a variety of museums, we have enough to keep the kids busy all year long. For those who have been vacationing in Cape Cod over the years, you may know about the Gift Barn and its counterpart The Red Barn Pizza. Located in Eastham, this complex offers all you could ever ask for in an afternoon of family entertainment. From games to mini-golf, shopping, and delicious food, this one-of-a-kind destination in Massachusetts is a must-visit.
The family-owned and operated Gift Barn located on Route 6 has been open since 1976 on the site of what was once a turnip and asparagus farm. With its large souvenir shop, an arcade, miniature golf, and The Red Barn Pizza restaurant just next door, this has been a one-of-a-kind vacation destination for families over the decades.

The Gift Barn also has a wide variety of taffy (over 30 different flavors!), fudge, chocolate-covered cranberries, and a fair amount of modern and old-fashioned candies. Kids and adults alike will love strolling through this store as there’s certainly something for everyone.

Inside the gift shop at the candy counter is where you pay for your round of mini-golf and pick up your ball and golf club. Then head outside to play on the two-level, barnyard-themed course that hasn’t changed much over the years. If you came here as a child, you’ll feel a sense of nostalgia playing here as an adult!

Through a separate entrance of the Gift Barn complex, you’ll find the arcade, filled with plenty of ticket games and claw machines. Once you’re done, head to the counter to redeem your tickets for some sweet prizes.

If you get hungry, steps away is The Red Barn Pizza which actually serves a lot more than just pizza. On the menu you’ll also find a wide variety of starters, soups, salads, subs, and pastas.

But seeing as the pizza is the most popular item to order, you won’t be disappointed in the selection. Get pizza by the slice, order an entire 10-, 14-, or 18-inch specialty pie, or build one with your own choice of toppings. You won’t leave hungry after a meal at The Red Barn!
