We love the Deanna Rose Farmstead Pumpkin Patch and also their Night of the Living Farm!
We love our local Lee’s Summit Parks!
We love the pumpkin patch at Crown Center! It is always fun to go pick out your own pumpkin!!
We love the Liberty Corn Maze!
We visited the Louisburg Cider Mill last year. We went through the corn maze and picked out a pumpkin. I plan on going back in a few weeks.
We went to the Plaza Art Fair last weekend (I guess it wasn’t technically fall yet) but had a fabulous time in the kids art and entertainment area, looking at the art, and eating great food! The kids had such a good time coloring, playing at the Wonderscope exhibit and climbing around on the animal playground! Then it was a beautiful evening for the kids to sack out in their strollers and the adults had some art time! But what we are so excited to do this fall is to go to the Plaza on October 25th to see the amazing Waterfire on Brush Creek! We missed last year because I was pregnant and unfortunately very nauseous… so we are so glad it’s coming back! Yea Kansas City!!!!
we love the hayride to the pumpkin patch at Johnson’s Farm…
Pumpkin Patches!
We love fall!!! Deanna Rose Farm has a great pumpkin patch with a lot of fun activities. And a hayride too!!! Gardner also has a fun pumpkin patch.
We enjoy going to the pumpkin patch in the fall
We love pumpkin patches, corn mazes, animals, hayrides, hot cider, and roasting marshmallows. We’re looking forward to the Oktoberfest at Crown Center 9/26-9/28, MO Town Festival of Arts & Crafts on 10/4 & 10/5 and the Oktoberfest in downtown Lee’s Summit on 10/26 & 10/27. The American Royal rodeo/parade and the Renaissance Festival are also great.
Our family loves to go to the Renaissance Festival!
Fall to us is going and collecting leaves on the ground and comparing them to animals, or using them to paint pictures with. We also like to play at the different pumpkin places in Kansas City.
It’s a ton of fun to hike in the Blue River Park. No bugs and it has some wonderful views.
Something that we haven’t done before, but are really looking forward to trying this year is going to an Apple Orchard. We also enjoy going to pumpkin patches and picking out our pumpkins then taking them home and carving them!
We are looking forward to the hayride at Faulkners Farms – it’s new!
You have to drive north, just a little, to get to our favorite Fall event, Pumpkinfest in St. Joseph MO. This year’s dates are Oct 10-12. Pumpkinfest has been on HGTV and Family Fun magazine. It is a family arts festival held on in the park in front of the Pony Express Stables, 914 Penn St St Joseph MO, so you can catch some history, too. Geared for kids up to 12, there is a carnival and games area. A stage features lots of kids entertainment, music, puppets, etc. There have been author signings. It is probably most noted for Pumpkin Mountain, a 25′ tall by 60′ long wall of scaffolding with hundreds (around 700) of carved jack o lanterns that all go on with a flick of a switch at 8pm on Friday. Lots of art activities for the kids, too, and a parade. For details, check the ponyexpress.org web site.
I am so glad I found this site. It tells us so much that is going on around town, that we never have a hard time finding something to do. Thank you for listing all the fall activities. I can’t wait to the Carolyn Cousin’s pumpkin patch. There is so much to do there. Even my wheelchair bound mother had a great time get pumpkins and riding the train. It is now our favorite spot in the fall.
We love Halloween activities. One of the best is the Lenexa Enchanted Forest at Sar-Ko-Par trails park off 87th street. For just $1.00 admission, you walk along the trail and see Halloween characters, magicians, singers, and dancers and the kids just love it.
We are looking forward to see the maze from Paradise Park.
PUMPKIN PATCH!!! We love going through the corn mazes Oh and The Haunted houses at Worlds of fun.
Friday night high school football!
