Pumpkins at the Covered Bridge

Visitors can search for pumpkins across a four-acre patch bordering Spring Creek and cross the ranch's scenic covered bridge. The grounds feature over twenty activities, including a zipline, a hay bale maze, farm animal viewing, a human hamster wheel, and a 20-minute treasure hunt and hayride. Guests can also crawl across a giant spider web, slide down the rabbit hole, and gather around a campfire to roast marshmallows.
