Well, it's closed now for the season but keep this in mind for next year. This family-owned and family-friendly farm is a quick drive from town. Besides families, it also seems popular with college students and couples. Parking is easy and admission is $2 which isn't bad for what you get: access to several pumpkin patches, the corn maze, sunflower picking, farm animal viewing/petting, tractor rides, and amusements for kiddies including a game where you see who can pump water the fastest to float a rubber duckie down a slide. Yes, I had too much fun playing this duck race. I saw hot dogs and lemonade for sale, but nothing pumpkin-related such as pie. I think an opportunity is being missed! Local honey is available for purchase too which is cool. The pumpkins aren't cheap, but then again, you're paying for an experience. I recommend bringing your own shears if you have them since the patch might be all out. The big pumpkins are already detached from the vines but if you want a smaller one, you'll have to snip it yourself. Also, it sounds like Farmer in the Dell will be offering pre-cut Christmas trees during the holidays and will be having peaches next year, so it's not just squashes. Now I have that nursery rhyme in my head. Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer in the dell [pumpkin patch]!

Get lost in the magic of the enchanted forest!…read more It was dusk when we entered into the Enchanted Forest at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia. I felt truly enchanted with it as if we were stepping into a magical realm from the pages of a fairy tale book. The cascading fantasy lights were mesmerizing. The pumpkins, giant bugs, butterflies, snakes glowed in blacklights. The Foggy Hollow was a mystical one with its soft blanket of mist draping the trees and anyone passing through. It was incredibly dreamy. The enchanting music, ground fog, the laser river enhanced the enchanting experience. As we went deeper into the forest, holographic displays of woodland critters appeared with the trees in the dark as their backdrop. I found myself glued to it. The Fobbles (fog-filled bubbles) completed the truly magical ambience and landscape. It was fun and a delightful experience that kids and adults loved. It was worth paying the tickets.

It's one of those places where you never know what you're going to find, so it's always exciting to "hunt". This Opelika, AL store is the only Ollie's I've ever been to. It is always packed with a big variety of merchandise. Sometimes it's a little crowded with things out on display, but it is an outlet store, so that can be expected. I've gotten some really good deals on some things there. I don't get to go to the store much any more because of my schedule. I wish that you could order things on their website. That would make my life much easier, and I would shop with them more often that way. I've never had to return anything there, so I don't know how that experience goes with them.
