Gaver Farm Fall Fun Fest

Guests can explore a 7-acre corn maze, race down giant slides, bounce on giant jumping pillows, and challenge themselves on a low ropes course. The festival grounds feature interactive animal encounters where visitors can see and feed goats, alpacas, sheep, and pigs. Younger guests can navigate mini mazes and playgrounds, while hayrides take visitors out to the picking fields.

Tips & Advice

  • Screenshot or print your tickets prior to arrival, as cell phone reception can be spotty on the farm.
  • Buy tickets online in advance to guarantee entry, especially on peak October weekends when walk-up gate admission cannot be guaranteed.
  • Visit on a weekend if you wish to ride the pedal karts, cow train, Beeline zipline, or flying pigs, as these are weekend-only attractions.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Online tickets are valid for one date and can be scanned anytime on or after the selected entry time.
