Christian Way Farm is a fun place for kids and the whole family. We have been 3 times, twice in the fall for the annual pumpkin patch visit and once during the summer for a company picnic.
The annual Pumpkin Patch visits are fun for the kids. Both times we went on a school field trip. They start out the adventure with the story of the pumpkin. Beginning with how the bees and pollination help the pumpkins grow and ending with using the pumpkin to tell the story of Jesus.
After the story the kids have time to explore a bit. There are animals to feed, corn to grind into feed, a corn maze, tricycle track, lots of animals to look at, and a good ole playground with swings and slides.
When it is time for the pumpkin patch everyone climbs on a trailer pulled by a tractor for a hay ride out to pick their very own pumpkin. Don't worry, the ride is safe and there are benches to sit on.
It costs around $6.00 to get a pumpkin. I think the price may vary if you get a much larger pumpkin.
During the summer, mini golf is a fun option. We played the course with several kids and adults and everyone had a great time. The course has lots of hills and some water features to make it challenging.
It was a great place for a field trip. The staff at Christian Way Farm really knows how to engage the kids and keep them organized. The company picnic we had was also a great time. There was a barn like structure that was more like an outdoor pavilion where we ate at picnic tables. There were probably 100 of us at the picnic, adults and children, and we were not overly cramped.
One more fun thing we got to do during the summer that the children absolutely loved. The farm has a lawn mower train. They hook 5 or 6 mowers (with the motors removed) up to a tractor and pull them. Each child sits on a mower and gets to pretend to drive it. They love it. Our daughter rode the ʺtrainʺ for probably 30 minutes. I must admit, it was pretty cool.
Since we have been 3 times, our daughter was age 3, age 4 and age 6 and loved it each time. My grandmother took her once and enjoyed it and my husband and I have both been and also enjoyed it. Christian Way Farms is really fun for the whole family.
Another note, and to help make the day that much more economical, they will allow you to bring your own lunches/food!

Tips:
