About

Troy Ganser created the TAG Art Company at the "turn of the millennium." Since then, everything the company has tried to offer has been an answer to the question, "what sounds like fun?"

The idea for the Fun Farm arose after Ganser watched the movie "Big Fish" with his wife and realized New Haven, Indiana needed its own "Spectre," but with more interesting buildings. Ganser worked with his sons and built everything from the ground up.

Nestled in the New Haven, Indiana countryside, the site features a mock spaceship and a farm castle. The storybook-like setting is spread over 25 acres and feels as though a journey to a new world.
