Fun as Big as Texas at Dewberry Farm

Fun as Big as Texas at Dewberry Farm. In our personal fall bucket list, there are many age-old traditions for ringing in the season; weekend adventures are right up there with hosting Thanksgiving dinner and carving pumpkins for Halloween. But nothing says fall quite like piling in the family car and going out to the country to pick out pumpkins for carving, decorating, and baking. “Where’s the best corn maze near me?” is one of our most often Googled queries this time of year. There’s nothing quite like finding your way out of the seemingly endless rows of towering stalks in a corn maze and enjoying merry family time afterwards around a fire pit as the crisp breeze lets you know that summer is officially over.

Family-owned and operated, Dewberry Farm really knows how to kick off the best time of the year and I was delighted to visit one of my favorite places with our Kid Ambassadors to see what new attractions the owners are planning for visitors this season.

Going to Dewberry Farm is like going for those entertaining visits to your grandpa or favorite uncle. With over 115 acres of beautiful landscape, the farm was bursting with color and energy. The pumpkin patch has been bringing autumn cheer since 2002 and the corn maze is just one of 50+ attractions that the kiddos will want to check out; including the Hay Mountain, Grasshopper and gemstone mining. All the rides are designed around pieces that can be found on a farm. These attractions and rides are unlike anything you can find anywhere else. Plan on spending many hours chasing the kids from one attraction to the next and make sure you have your camera handy to capture that joy and amazement children have when they are having fun. The Country Store at Dewberry Farm is a shopper’s delight! Give yourself time to shop, there are many treasures to be found.

A child’s excitement and the magic of Dewberry Farms is something all parents wish they could bottle up and replicate year-round. And while they can’t, families can enjoy Dewberry Farm’s curated attractions in fall, winter and in the spring.

See you at Dewberry Farm!

WHAT’S NEW

Feeling a bit brave? How about getting your chill on and venturing out to the 7 acres of spooky trails at Spooky Hollow? The new attraction at Dewberry Farm has three levels of fright: Friendly, Freaky, and Frightful. Choose as you go.

Friendly Trail

The Friendly Trail is well lit, festive and open, located outside the woods with no sudden scares, although some may be heard in the distance, the trail is filled with traditional Halloween scenes, some music and fun photo ops.

Freaky Trail

Walk in the middle of the woods in the midst of disturbed residents such as spell casting witches, runaway broomsticks, captivating spider webs, slithering snakes and creepy crawlers. There are several escapes to the Friendly Trail.

Frightful Trail

Do you dare? The Frightful Trail is located in the darkest, deepest part of the woods and there is one way in and out. The unlit trails have numerous spine-trembling startles throughout an eerie graveyard of dead ends.

Open after dark on Friday and Saturday evenings in October beginning October 2. Included with admission.
