If trucks and tractors aren’t enough to keep you busy, there are plenty of other activities for all ages! Take your best shot with a giant pumpkin slingshot. Decorate pumpkins, try out an assortment of games and crafts, and take a spin on the hayride. Children will receive a free hayride, pumpkin, and hard hat (1 per family while supplies last). 

Food Trucks+

Whether you're a lover of sweet, savory, or spicy (or all three), we’ve got a treat for everyone with food trucks serving up a variety of cuisines throughout the event. 

Quiet Hour+

Accessibility Accommodations: To be mindful of all families and sensitivities, there is a quiet hour at midday. At this time, all horns, sirens, and other loud noises are silenced. 

Where to Stay

Sleep in a 500-year-old castle or in a brand new suite. Swim in the pool or float in a lake. In Lakewood, there is a place that's just right for you.
