Mapleside is excited to welcome you back to the farm for our 2023 Fall Season powered by PNC bank.
Pumpkin Village is when Mapleside Farms morphs into the finest fall family experience in the country with LIVE entertainment and dozens of special attractions to make everyone feel like a kid again. Pumpkin Village will be open for every themed weekend. Over 20 awesome attractions for you to enjoy!
The GIANT Corn Maze (one of the biggest and best in the Midwest), take a tour of the orchard in our Cow and Pig Trains, enjoy our scenic Hayride, rocket down the longest slide in America when you ride the 311 foot “Super Slide". Fly high on our Two Giant Jump Pillows.
Watch the Pig Races presented by the hilarious comedic crew from MSPN (Mapleside Sports Network) calling the play-by-play LIVE! Check out the Goats in action at the Billy Goat Bluff, The Haytona 500 Pedal Car Race Track and so much more.
Not only will each weekend feature a different theme, but they'll also feature a supporting cast of live performers to match. Princesses, Pirates, Cowboys, Superheros and even Johnny Appleseed will be on hand to keep you entertained and immersed in the theme of that weekend*.
All this as music provides the soundtrack to a great family day on the farm.
Make sure to feast on some incredible food and remember to bring home some delicious apples, caramel apples, or apple pie!
