We've been here a few times and for the 0-4 year old age range I think this place is the best in terms of activities. Today we went for the fall hayride. It's $9/person, ages 2+. Under 2 is free. We have a 2.5yr old and didn't lie because I don't want to steal from farmers, haha.
While you wait for the hayride there is an outdoor market area that is paved, which is good for strollers if you needed to bring one. There are bins of pumpkins everywhere, a few cut-outs/photo opp stations, and even a little area with animals and a tractor you can sit on (animal/tractor area is mulched not on pavement, fyi). The animals are behind a double layer fence and you can feed them for 25¢ through the tubes -- no direct touching of the animals, which is great for tiny fingers!
The hayride has ACTUAL hay, which is fun! It takes about 15-20 minutes to get out to the field and they have little scenes set up both ways to hold interest of the littles. Nothing too scary. There is one of those wacky waving inflatable flailing arm tube man ghosts which might scare some but you drive by it quickly. (Note there are stairs to get on the hayride -- no strollers allowed and you won't want to be pushing it around the field play area anyway, but plenty of stroller "parking" on the paved area in the market.)
Once you get out to the field there is SO much toddlers can enjoy. We played at the corn sensory table for probably 30 minutes straight. There's more photo opp stations, a bean bag game, a basketball game (would've loved some lower baskets placed on that wall is my only very tiny feedback/suggestion), a mini hay bale maze (only one hay bale high so a great height for toddlers and easy for parents to step into if one needs rescuing), an obstacle course in the corn maze, and even a corn maze. We didn't get to the corn maze so I don't know how easy/hard it would be. There is a field of sunflowers and a pumpkin patch as well but we only made it over for a quick photo before our kiddo wanted to run back and play. If it's a warm, sunny day there is not much shade out in the field so dress accordingly and wear/bring sunscreen!
Back at the market, they do sell ice cream and have other local produce, snacks, and drinks if all that activity makes you hungry.
This place was PERFECT for us!! I think we'll be able to enjoy coming here for another 2-3 years before she starts seeing it as too baby-ish. I highly recommend it over the other (read: more priceyyyy) farms/attractions in the area. Definitely worth...
