The wait is over. Fall is here! Crisp air, crunchy leaves, bonfires and fall festivals. My family recently visited our favorite fall fest in Northern Kentucky- Country Pumpkins! Each year, Country Pumpkins gets better and better. From hayrides to turbo slides, they’ve got it all!
Country Pumpkins is a family-run business. They are all wonderful! They keep the farm organized and their staff is kind and helpful. There was always a staff member nearby checking on families, answering questions and cleaning the area. A special shout-out to one of the owners, Shelley. She helped prevent my son from having a meltdown when he spilled his slushie and she gave him a new one. Crisis averted!
My son’s favorite activities were chunkin’ pumpkin, the corn maze and the loft play area located in the Pumpkin Ridge area. He launched a pumpkin and hit a target, found his way through the maze and played in the corn pit in the loft (which was a great sensory activity)! I enjoyed the hayride and cow-milking demonstration that one of the owners, Matthew, presented. It was fascinating to see how modern technology can milk cows! That was a special event for the day.
Grab a camera because there are photo opportunities galore! I was able to capture so many cute photos of my son. Country Pumpkins also has a cute, little gift shop; yummy concession food and treats; barrel train rides; a petting zoo and more! There was so much to do and my son never got bored. Woohoo! In the words of my 6-year-old, “This was the best day EVER!” We are looking forward to visiting again and definitely recommend adding this fall festival to your fall bucket list.
Parent tip: my son has some special needs and can get easily overwhelmed. There was enough space on the farm to find a quiet spot for a “brain break”. This helped tremendously!
