- Trike track: Pedal around the track and enjoy a little friendly racing.

Make It a Fall Family Outing
Visit the pumpkin patch, wander the sun hemp flower maze, and stop for a family photo along the way. The kitchens, bar, attractions, pumpkin patch, flower picking, and flower maze are all open. You can also explore the U-Pick flower fields when blooms are available.
Take a few pictures before the kids head back to their favorite attraction. Our fall family photo guide shares ideas for capturing your visit.
Pumpkins, U-Pick flower buckets, and gem bags cost extra. Field conditions and activity availability can change with the weather.
Stay for Lunch and a Treat
Build a lunch break into your day. Stop by Harvest Crust Pizzeria, explore food options at The Nest, or pick up coffee and a sweet treat. Adults can also explore the drinks at Twisted Roots Tavern.
