Fall at Saunders Farm

By Deanna Bertrend October 8, 2021

A fall favourite is visiting Saunders Farm! There are a lot of different activities that you can do as a family. The different events below are for various ages. I am too chicken to check out the Frightfest (let me know if you go and survive...) but I will definitely be heading there for the pumpkin patch. 

Pumpkin Season 2021

For 30 AMAZING years, Pumpkin Season at Saunders Farm has been a Canadian family tradition. With tons of outdoor attractions available, including pumpkin picking from our amazing pre-picked selection of pumpkins, hedge mazes, jumbo jumpers, play structure, puppet shows, a parade and so much more, it's a spook-tacular experience for the whole family!
