What can you do at the Scarecrow Forest?

There are a lot of things to see and do at the Scarecrow Forest. There is the Scarecrow Forest which has 23 different scenes set up. Each scene is very unique and entertaining. New this year is two walk-in sites. Off of the trail is the Farm Animal Maze. Get lost in the forest as you learn about various farm animals and check out the cute animals that Amanda painted.

Once you exit the trail you come upon the play structure. The play structure is built around a hill and has four slides, a tire tunnel, and a fort. Children can spend hours playing here. Also there are two giant sandboxes which children can dig in.

Another thing you can do is get your face painted by Amanda or paint a pumpkin in the fall.

The zip lines are a favorite. The Lion zip line is 22 feet tall and the Bunny zip line is 12 feet tall. The total length is 200 feet. Zip down the line and get a birds view of the garden, the petting farm, and the cows that may be watching the action.

The train ride is an attraction that the whole family can enjoy together. A 1946 John Deere M tractor pulls a train of 5 cars through the forest. The train ride lasts about 15 minutes.

Watch some mini pumpkins fly at the pumpkin slingshot. This attraction will open once the pumpkins are ready (which should be at the end of August).

New this year is the Dancing Scarecrow Corn Trail. Take a walk through some corn and feel the leaves brush against you. This is a path and not a maze so there’s no need to get worried that you may get lost and never find your way out.

Children and adults love our petting farm. Some people have spent hours petting the goats and kittens. New this year are two puppies named Tank and Dixie. We also have two roosters named Gourd and Pumpkin. The goats are Blue and Billy.

Near the zip lines there are a couple of tire play structures set up. The children can have fun crawling and climbing on these.

This is what you can do in the Scarecrow Forest. Come check us out and have some family fun in the Scarecrow Forest.
