Fun filled fall activities at the pumpkin farm
Pumpkin farmers are a creative bunch of entrepreneurs. What used to be nothing more than a pumpkin patch with a small country store, has now evolved into a multi-million dollar entertainment industry.
Most pumpkin patches obviously still sell pumpkins, but they also offer enough entertainment to keep you and your family entertained for a couple of hours. At many of these farms, you'll find kiddie rides, hay rides, corn cannons (a ton of fun!), fresh food, pick your own pumpkins and lots more.
Now the weather is just right for outdoor activities, load your kid(s) in the car, and head towards one of the 100's of pumpkin farms. If you need help finding one, start at "Pumpkin Patches and More" where you'll find a fantastic overview of all the current fun locations, along with their opening hours, directions and activities.
If at all possible, try going to one of these locations on a week day. Not only will the crowds be lighter, you'll save on the price of attractions, as many locations offer unlimited ride passes for one low fee. Also, check out the web site of your local farm for coupons or other discounts.
Before you leave a pumpkin patch, be sure to make a stop in their farmstand as most locations sell fresh baked goods like cider apple doughnuts and of course an assortment of pies.
