Fall Fun at Colonial Gardens

Colonial Gardens is one of the best-stocked nurseries in the metro. In addition to a beautiful nursery, they offer a small farmers market where you may purchase local produce, meat, honey, and natural products. They also offer a beautiful event venue for private events and concerts open to the public.

On weekends through the end of October, they host fall fun for families including u-pick apples, outdoor play spaces, and a livestock experience!

Our Pumpkin Patch Tips:

• Wear layers. It is often chilly early or late in the day but can warm up as the sun shines around noon. 
• Wear comfy shoes for playing on a farm. Tennis shoes, rubber boots, or farm boots work.
• Remember sunglasses and sunscreen.
• Take photos!
• Come rested. Plan your visit around nap times.

Some of our Favorite Activities at Colonial Gardens:

HEMTT Rides: Ride around the farm on an actual HEMTT! The kids (and adults) LOVED this. You get a great view of the beautiful property on this one-of-a-kind vehicle.

Apple Picking: The orchard is beautiful and easy for u-pickers.

Jumping Pillow: They have one giant jumping pillow for families to enjoy.

Hay Maze: This simple maze is fun for younger kids!

Farm Animals: A Colonial employee took us on a tour of the farm animals. We saw alpacas, geese, chicken, pigs, cows, sheep and goats. Our kids were especially enamored by the goats and enjoyed feeding them!

Outdoor Playground and Fall Photo Ops: A pumpkin patch tradition!

Yard Games: Snookball, pumpkin bowling, checkers, giant jenga, connect 4, corn hole, and more.
