I grew up in the country, but have lived in cities my whole adult life. My kids, on the other hand, are born and bred city kids. One time, we went to a corn maze and one of my children (who will remain nameless to protect the ridiculous) exclaimed, “I didn’t realize it was actually corn!” Sweet mercy. Whether your kids are country kids or city kids, we have a list of places your family can get outside and experience fun on the farm. And just maybe, learn something new.
If you’re looking for farm fun in the fall, be sure to check out the Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes Guide, too.
Check out the following places to go, depending on the season.
FEATURED | Butterfield Acres Harvest Pumpkin Fest
As the leaves change colour and the air turns brisk, pull out the cozy sweaters and head outside to the farm. The Butterfield Acres Harvest Pumpkin Fest is the perfect fall outing for young families and you can find it every weekend throughout October! There’s so much for the kids to do at Butterfield Acres: visit the animals, spot the scarecrows, and search for the perfect pumpkin to make a Halloween jack-o’lantern. Plus, you’ll get some wonderful fall photos – helping you freeze time, if only for a moment! Read more about it here.

No matter the day, no matter the farm, the most important part is spending time with your family. From getting lost in the corn mazes to gently petting the softest bunny, you’ll be enjoying the fresh air and making the most of the moments you have.
