West Virginia, it's time to plan those last water park visits and get in one last tubing adventure because before you know it, fall will be here. But the arrival of autumn opens up a whole new barrel full of fun activities in the Mountain State and nothing kicks off the season better than a visit to this charming pumpkin farm.
Byrnside Branch Farm in Union opens its gates on September 22nd for a whole season full of fall fun. Bring the entire family to hunt for the perfect pumpkin and indulge in all of your favorite autumn activities.
The pumpkins have been growing all summer to the perfect plumpness. Wander into the pumpkin patch and find all shapes, sizes, and colors ripe for the picking!
There's also a hearty selection of pre-picked pumpkins, gourds, hay bales and more to spice up your autumn decor.
Tour the pumpkin patch and scenic farm on a farm tractor tour. You'll get an up-close view of the farm operations as well as the animals who call Byrnside Branch Farm their home.
The small fry in your family will love a ride on the barrel train. Powered by an antique tractor, this is a fun trip designed especially for the younger kids in the crowd.
There's also a corn box made especially for digging, shoveling, and scooping. This sensory activity provides tons of fall-themed entertainment.
With two different sized corn mazes, you can get lost for quite a while. The large 18-acre corn maze has 2 1/2 miles of paths! A smaller two-acre corn maze is a little less challenging and provides around 15 minutes of adventure.
An even smaller hay maze lets the youngest kids get in on the festivities.
When you need a rest from all of the fun and games, have a seat around the main bonfire and relax. As the leaves start to turn and you're looking for an autumn weekend outing, head over to Byrnside Branch Farm.
