Come during the fall season for pumpkin picking, a corn maze, train ride, barnyard animals, and weekend hayrides (even a haunted hayride for your older, braver kids), but at a less frenetic pace. If large spaces and big crowds overwhelm your little one (or you, for that matter), Conklin is a smaller, more intimate venue that still packs a lot of fun. Abma’s Farm offers several pick-your-own events throughout the growing season.

And, in the summer, kids ages 5-10 can learn more about farming and nature at farm camp. Check out the goat walk, duck pond, and 'Bunnyville.' In the fall, enjoy hayrides to the pumpkin patch, fall story time sessions, and pumpkin decorating events. This farm caters to families with its petting zoo, where kids can meet goats, sheep, alpaca, donkeys, ponies, bunnies, pigs, and more.

Come back in the fall for pumpkin picking, the corn maze, wagon rides, games, a zip line, and more. Head to Argos Farms for summer activities like blueberry picking, sunflower picking, the wooden obstacle course, jumper pillow, and more. Tickets should be purchased in advance for events.

In the fall, Alstede charges an admission fee for pick-your-own sessions (which include a hayride, mazes, hay pyramid, and a small amount of produce), and it tends to get very crowded on the weekends, so plan ahead. Shop the farm store for organic fruits and veggies, local honey, homemade pies, and cider doughnuts, and add a scoop of fresh ice cream mixed with fruit from the farm. Special events include seasonal festivals, breakfasts with Santa, and Easter egg hunts. After a trip to the fields to pick your own strawberries, apples, or pumpkins, your kids can check out the mazes (corn, evergreen, and sunflower) or meet the many friendly animals, including cows, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, bunnies, ducks, and pigs that kids can feed. The corn maze, pony rides, hayrides, and bouncy house are available daily-not just on weekends-though separate tickets are needed for the moon bounce and pony rides. This 600-acre, family-owned farm takes fun seriously. Subscribe to our newsletters to get stories like this delivered directly to your inbox.
