Lockwood Park in Rockford, Illinois is getting ready to celebrate "Fall On the Farm" for one weekend only this October, and your entire family is going to love it!

Get Ready for 'Fall On The Farm'

Is it just me, or does everyone seem to go a little "country" every year when fall comes around?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm just saying local pumpkin patches, apple orchards and farms become the hottest ticket in town when fall rolls around, and I think it's due to all the homegrown fun and food you can get enjoy there.

If your family has already made your annual trek to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard, but you're still looking for fall fun to enjoy, head to Lockwood Park on Safford Road for "Fall On The Farm" on Saturday, October 19, and Sunday, October 20.

What Can You Do At Fall On the Farm?

Lockwood Park is always a place my kids love to visit due to all the farm animals they have there, but going there in the Fall is probably their favorite for one big reason; Fall On The Farm.

When I tell you there are a ton of fun activities for both adults and kids alike...I mean it!

Here are just a few of the things you can enjoy at Fall On The Farm:

  • A corn maze and corn pit

  • Wagon Rides
  • Pick Your Own Pumpkins
  • Petting Zoo
