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. The first time we went to a corn maze, 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.
