Central Ohio has some amazing farms to visit in the fall for pumpkins, activities, and agri-tourism, and Van Buren Acres in Hebron is one of the best for fall and holiday farm fun!
If you’ve driven east on Columbus on Route 70, you’ve probably seen this fun farm in the Columbus area. New in 2017, Van Buren Acres is a family-owned farm featuring activities for every age. Explore corn maze, 9 acre Sunflower patch, and all of the farm fun.
The farm also features a soy bean maze, pig and duck races, cow train barrel ride, hay ride, farm animals, gem mining, giant jumping pillow, pedal carts, putt putt, huge corn bin with tons of toys, hay stacks to climb, and other activities.
Animals to visit include emus, miniature donkeys, goats, peahens and a beautiful peacock, bunnies, pigs, Easter chickens who lay green and blue eggs, and more!
Fall Fun at Van Buren Acres
Van Buren Acres opens on Wednesday, September 10, 2022, and is open on Wednesdays – Sundays from 10 am to 7 pm. Farm closes Sunday, October 30, 2022.
Activities are spread out nicely to eliminate crowding, but are still an easy walking distance, and the path is stroller friendly. There are tons of awesome photo ops, including lots of wooden props, pumpkin stacks, and fall displays.
Please check the Facebook page or call if you are unsure about the weather. Don’t let a cool day deter you from visiting! There are several buildings with activities and animals to get out of the wind; and the kids will be running around too much to notice a chill!
Regular admission for guests 3 years old and older is $10, and includes ALL activities except the mining sleuth, concessions, and pumpkins.
You can also purchase a season pass for just $25, which includes a u-pick pumpkin. Pumpkins are $5 for u-pick, and up to $8 for pre-picked. The Barnyard Café offers plenty of concessions, and there are lots of tables where you can sit to enjoy your food.
You do not need to pay admission if you are just visiting the Barnyard Cafe, Nellie’s Country Store, or just purchasing fall decor/pumpkins (including U-Pick).
