About
Plenty of activities for kids! And those still young at heart can enjoy sitting under a shade tree listening to music, watching the kids or enjoying any of the wonderful food and sweets from the Red Barn Kitchen or famous Pie House.
Much of the Great Pumpkin Patch has been newly renovated and updated. We have a totally new inflatable park with a Great Jumpin' Pumpkin, incredible Super Slide that is fun for young and a Smaller Slide for those not quite ready for the challenge of the Super Slide. The all new Bungee Run is a great way to challenge friends and family to a competition of strength and skill and provides loads of laughter for those watching the challenge.
The Great Pumpkin Patch Train is all new and is a fun way to ride around the pumpkin patch. It provides an excellent opportunity for photos that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Our Wagons are totally new and ready for rides out to the pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkin to take home.
There is a great place for parents and grandparents to sit and enjoy a cool drink or snack and watch the kids master the pyramid.
The Petting Zoo is ready for young and old to see and pet different farm animals in a safe and fun setting.
There will be other games and events throughout the month. And the Country Store is well stocked with local goods and other items for sale.
