Apples and Pumpkins... two of the sweetest signs of autumn, both celebrated at one of our favorite fall attractions Louisburg Cider Mill.
The Cider Mill and Country Store is always FREE to visit and a must-see local attraction. Read our blog: Watch Cider Making at the Louisburg Cider Mill for information on the cider making tour. Make sure to enjoy some delicious cider donuts when you visit!
Our 10 Favorite Features at Louisburg Cider Mill Pumpkin Patch:
The REAL 10-acre Pumpkin Patch! The patch is beautiful this year. Visitors will find a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and types of pumpkins. There are even a few Cinderella Pumpkins in the patch!
The 10-Acre Scarecrow Corn Maze. Every year the Louisburg Cider Mill team plans a new corn maze and this year's is a fantastic Scarecrow. The Corn Maze is included in the price of admission to the pumpkin patch. This year's maze is BEAUTIFUL! The girls enjoyed the flowers mixed in with the corn (see the second photo). Hidden in the maze, visitor's will find letters that you can unscramble to create a word. Tips: Make sure everyone uses the restroom before you start the maze (it takes 30-60 minutes). Wear tennis shoes (depending on recent rainfall, it may be a bit muddy). Stick with your group.
The Sunflower Hill Slide! This large slide is big enough for the entire family to enjoy!
The Jumping Pillow. Jumping Pillow requires an additional $2 bracelet.
The Jack-O-Lantern Corn Crib. Playing in dried corn is definitely a favorite feature at local pumpkin patches and the Jack-O-Latnern is a great touch!
Kid-Size Maze. Kids enjoy this maze (and mom can watch easily) as they wind through the rainbow pallets and find letters to unscramble a fun word.
The Play Space. Lots of creative Country Themed play spaces are fun for young children.
The Wagon Ride. What an authentically fun autumn tradition! The tractor pulled hayride is really fun.
Fun Photo Ops. Painted signs make a fun photo op!
The museum! The kids saw original farm equipment and how it worked.
