We started by playing in the little cottage near the parking lot, and then headed to the patch. These little boys loved running in allll the open space, “driving” the tractors, and finding their own perfect pumpkins.

If you continue past the pumpkin patch, there’s a play area with a large sandpit, climbing dome, swingset corn hole, big JENGA blocks, photo ops, and a playhouse. All of these activities are FREE.

For paid activities you’ll need to purchase tickets or a Fun Card at the little shed near the play area. We got one Fun Card for our boys to share – this worked perfectly for us, but it really depends on how many activities your kids will do. This one Fun Card allowed us to feed the goats, get kettle corn to share, and for both boys to do the barrel train ride.
