It gets better every year here!
This year we enjoyed another great afternoon here while the weather continued this heat wave. Admission changed to $10 a person and the 10 or 20 lb bags with no premium prices.
They added a new corn maze in a new spot, parking lots are centralised and a tractor will take you to the furthest hills for Gala & HoneyCrisp. The tractor runs often and there's lots of space to bring wagons and strollers.
The farm obstacle run in next to a corn kernel play area, shielded by a converted silo. The kids had a blast in here! Digging with sand toys and lots of space to swim in the corn kernels. I'm sure all parents loved it wasn't dirty like sand but just corn dust.
The cafe kiosk is next to the kids play area so one can enjoy hot cider($3), cider donuts or other pastries while the kids play. There lots of big old trees to give shade to take a break from this hot afternoon.
Lots of portapotty around and wash sinks at the play area, parking lot and top of the picking hill.
The corn maze is themed for Minecraft, so hay bales or wooden crates and painted and stacked for photo ops.
Lots of pumpkins decorations and photo ops.
There's a bouncy farm animal toy penned off for kids to bounce and ride on. Really creative idea and such fun watching them all looking like they're bucking broncos.
More animals added onto the farm, llamas, sheep and these cute shaggy cattle.
Tip: save your apple core or fallen apples from the picking orchard to feed the animals at the end, they really do appreciate it!
It might be further for some but it's an easy, scenic afternoon drive. I love how it's busy but not crowded like the ones closer to Toronto. read more
