No doubt your fall bucket list includes visiting a pumpkin patch with all your favorite autumn delights — corn mazes, hayrides, animals, games, and of course, great food.
While Utah certainly has no shortage of fabulous pumpkin patches and corn mazes, one stands out from the rest if you're looking for inexpensive family fun that also supports a good cause.
Wilkerson Farm in Orem is a must for your autumn itinerary. Here are just a few reasons why you're going to want to make this a new part of your family's fall traditions.
Your attendance helps the hungry
Founded in 2010, this year the local vegetable and fruit farm started growing food exclusively for food pantry donations. The seasonal carnival, corn maze and pumpkin patch help fund this humanitarian effort. When your family comes to enjoy all the festivities, you're also helping to improve the quality and quantity of food that struggling families receive.
Pay less for a full day of fun
You won't believe how affordable it is. At a time when everyone is feeling the pinch of inflation and every dollar counts, Wilkerson Farm's prices are extremely reasonable. No price gouging here!
Monday-Thursday the general admission for one adult is $12.95. Friday and Saturday admission is $14.95. Children 4 and under are free. The admission price includes everything. You get to ride every ride and enjoy every attraction at one flat rate for the whole day. Group discounts are also available, so get a group of friends together and save even more.
For unlimited fun all season long, be sure to check out the season passes.
You won't run out of great things to see, do and taste
Nothing's worse than paying money for an activity only to have your children lose interest within an hour. At Wilkerson Farm, that won't be a problem. With an abundance of cool things to see, do and taste, your family will never be bored. Snap some family photos in the pumpkin patch. Get lost in a corn maze. Take a scenic hayride on a farm. Eat a caramel apple and warm up with hot chocolate or apple cider. It's everything you would want and more for your fall family fun.
It's good for kids and adults
Parents, you're probably used to sitting back and watching while your kids enjoy all the fun activities at local pumpkin patches. It's hard to find a place with the perfect balance of entertainment for all ages, but Wilkerson Farm provides the best of both worlds. Parents can ride alongside their kids and get just as much excitement out of all the attractions as the little ones do.
