Lake Metroparks Farmpark continues a tradition of celebrating the harvest season with a weekend all about apples! Get a taste of apple cider, sample a variety of apples and help grind apples and press cider. Apple slushies are available at the Apple Cider Bar. 

Learn how to drive a horse, harvest potatoes, fish at the pond pavilion and helping hand crank and taste ice cream with different harvest flavors. Little farmers can wind their way through the farm maze on pedal tractors, navigate through the hay maze and have fun in the kid’s tent. 

If you enjoy a challenge, then Farmpark's corn maze is for you. Follow winding paths that steer you to intersections where you must decide which way to go. Show off your skills as you make your way through multiple twists and turns in the three-acre maze.

Little farmers can pedal their way on mini tractors through the farm maze on the Pedal Tractor Overlook. They can navigate the hay maze and play in the kid’s areas. The whole family can explore the three-acre corn maze. Enjoy harvest-themed crafts and more.  

Visitors may also enjoy our Showman’s Circle area, including a farm-themed playground and covered shelter for live animal demonstrations.
