Great place to enjoy all the autumn wonders! Keep in mind there are a couple of locations/parking…read moreareas depending on what you're looking for. We first stopped in at the farmer's market, which is located on the corner and has its own parking lot. It had some fun features like classic big chairs for photos and the like. The market itself is packed with tons of produce, goodies, and souvenirs, both inside and outside, including different flavored seasonal donuts, which were delicious! A little bit further down the street is the section with classic autumnal farm fun activities: corn mazes (two - including a mini one for the kids), pick your own produce (apples were ready at the time of our visit, and we enjoyed perusing the orchard), barrel ride, zip line, play area, and apple cannons, which were a blast! A variety of snacks are available for purchase at the snack shop. This area has its own parking available. Staff was helpful and friendly, and we had a lot of fun exploring and enjoying everything Lynd Fruit Farm has to offer.

There is always something going on at the farm. They even have a mailing list so you can keep up on what's going on at the farm. Apple picking is a super busy time. But it has been a tradition for our family for years.

I absolutely love this place! I've been coming here every year for their Wine Craze Corn Maze…read moreevent, and it never disappoints. The farm is huge, beautifully kept, and has so much to do -- it's the perfect spot for a fall day with family or friends. From hayrides and putt-putt to the giant corn maze, pumpkins, farm animals, and playgrounds, there's truly something for everyone. They also have a charming country store filled with seasonal goodies, local products, and fall décor, plus plenty of food and drink stands to enjoy while you explore. You can really feel that it's a family-run farm -- the staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and eager to make your visit a great one. Van Buren Acres has become one of my favorite fall traditions, and I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a fun, festive, and wholesome autumn outing!

Went for a school event. $15 per family; not sure if that is the standard price. For that you get…read moreloads of games and activities: hay ride, bouncy thing (sort of a country trampoline, not a bouncy house,) pig races, duck races, corn maze, petting zoo, conk the crow, obstacle course, and much more. And they sell pumpkins, cider, hot chocolate, and 4986 doodads in their gift shop. K loved it. All the kids loved it. It was somewhat fun for adults. Everything is spread out, so my legs were worn. Staff were friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back someday. Barely half an hour from central Columbus. K did not want to leave.

A & R Alpacafarm and Gift Shop - Alpacas by the dozen!

A & R Alpaca Farm is such a fantastic experience for anyone who likes to interact with friendly…read morelivestock. My girlfriend had seen an ad somewhere (possibly on Facebook), and with my farm-loving mother coming to town from Canada, we knew we had to go. They don't have dedicated hours posted anywhere, as they're indeed a working farm, but after reaching out on Facebook Messenger and then calling, we were able to arrange for a visit the next day. Located about 45 minutes outside of Columbus, A & R Alpaca Farm is quite nondescript from the outside -- miles of agricultural properties surround it, and there's no overt signage marking this farm in particular...but as we nearly overshot the property, we saw a few alpacas off in the distance, and found the place without issue. As we pulled in, Aaron and Robin (the "A" and "R" of the name) had just come back from feeding the herd, and they invited us to enter the stable...which had dozens upon dozens of curious alpacas (not to mention a cat, a couple of big dogs, and several chickens) all monitoring our arrival. Robin was incredibly friendly, and after we spent a few minutes petting alpacas in a larger pen, she brought us into a smaller pen with perhaps twenty alpacas, and gave us little "cookies" to feed them with. Much to our surprise, Robin had not only named all of the alpacas (the farm has around 120 heads overall), but also managed to *remember* all of their names...and some alpacas seemed to respond when called. All the alpacas had different personalities, with some being aloof and flighty, and others being downright affectionate. One in particular had special affinity for being photographed. As soon as she saw the smart phone come out, she would come forward for a perfect photo op (seriously, folks -- I can't make this stuff up). After around 45 minutes of hanging out with the alpacas, we went into the gift shop, where there were many unique items made from alpaca yarn. Stuffed animals, toys, clothing, gloves, skeins of yarn were all available, and given that the proprietors didn't charge for our little tour, we made a point of buying a lot of goods...not as compensation, but because the goods are indeed worthwhile. If the words "alpaca gloves" don't make you want to drive there immediately, after this long and cold Columbus winter, I don't know what else will. In all seriousness, there's really nothing not to like about A & R Alpaca Farm. Robin and Aaron are kind and enthusiastic about their business, the alpacas are docile and generally willing to be petted, and the whole trip makes for a unique and delightful experience. It *is* worth noting that the animals are livestock, and it is a working farm, so you'll want to wear boots and clothes that you don't mind smelling like alpaca afterwards, but to my mind, that's more of a "perk" than a detriment.

While your down there your using a provided map to guide yourself around and match the corresponding areas ( Ex; A to A or 1-1 ) We went after it had just rained the night before, so everything was VERY wet. Wear waterproof/walking shoes if you plan on exploring. Be prepared to get dripped on by very cold water coming off nearby rocks, and the "ceiling". Coming down the initial very steep stairs is a beautiful view of different levels of rocks decending into a tunnel/cave where the rest of the cavers are. Tons of puddles all over the ground from collected rain water and the "droplets". Most the areas are about big enough for one person to walk through the tunnel areas at one time, and if your a larger person i DO NOT recommend going down there. Some areas are extremely tight and really only accessible to someone under 4'5 and around 100 pounds or less. (Im 5'4, 140 and some areas i almost got stuck cause it was too tight going through the rocks. It is neat to see though, i dont think id want to do it again as it is just wet rocks and the furthest tunnel was closed from the previous year that occurred from some heavy rain water. (The water collected, over time causing a collapse). So that was kind of a bummer but i get it for safety reasons. The gem mining was fun, definitely loaded with a lot of "gravel" type rocks so that was new for me, Ive only ever had ones with dirt/sand that yield rocks/gems/shark teeth. We found some really interesting gemstones in each tray. The petting zoo was great. I thought it wad Going to be boring and smelly, and i was happily wrong. The goats were adorable, when we came in a baby jumped through the fence and was following our group. And when we came inside the "pen" to pet them he ran back in it was very cute! The deer were a little skittish but very sweet and gentle. The treasure hunt/maze was VERY fun we enjoyed getting different prizes snd trading them within the group.

Admission was super reasonable at $12 per person and that included all the activities. They also offer a military discount which we really appreciated. There was honestly so much to do: - Mazes - Mini putt-putt - Pumpkin bowling - Photo cutouts and a big truck for fun pics - Barrel rides, barrel run, barrel slide - Basketball - A zip line swing - $1 pumpkin slingshot - Tractor rides -And so much more! The animal area was a hit - feeding the goats (just 25 cents!) was so cute and there were also a miniature donkey, pony, and a rabbit. We were a little bummed the hayride wasn't running when we visited, but there was still plenty to enjoy. The sweet treats and drinks were a nice bonus - frosted pumpkin sugar cookie + lemon shakeup = perfect fall combo! Overall, it was a great day full of classic fall fun. Definitely recommend for families or anyone wanting to soak up the season!

Tons of food options, kettle corn, hot dogs, fries, lemonade, donuts, bbq, shaved ice. They had so many activities for everyone of different age groups. They had a mini zipline, slides that you go down on a tube. Bounce pads, basketball "shooting hoops", theres little tractor like cars that are powered by pedal. Theres a corn maze, one for kids and a bigger one for older people. The small faux village buildings were very cute! And the tractor that you can climb on and take pictures. Overall 13$ to get in isnt bad for what all is included. The only thing that doesnt cover is the slingshot which is 1$ for two balls. And the paintball
