PrintFall Farm Days
Hayrides, corn mazes, pony rides, animal petting zoos, harvest barns, pumpkin or apple picking, craft fairs, harvesting fall vegetables, farmers' market, and some 'haunted' attractions. In Autumn, many farms will host fun-filled children's Fall festivals where children of all ages can enjoy games, feast on yummy treats, and take in a range of live entertainment and craft activities. A festival and a crisp fall day go together like taffy and apples.
So spend a day or a weekend and enjoy the country atmosphere. Pick apples or pumpkins, go to a corn maze, visit a farm Fall festival or just drive the country roads. It's a nice getaway, but it's close to home. And farm Fall festivals are all about family fun.
Here are our top picks for 'Fall farm fun' taking place throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
