If you’re looking for a delightful way to celebrate the fall season, look no further than the Fall Festival at Cottle Strawberry Farm! New this year, the farm invites the public to enjoy classic farm fall fun at their Fall Festival. With over 30 activities included in one admission price, we think you’ll want to check this one out. We got a chance to visit and have all the details!
When to Visit the Farm
The Fall Festival at Cottle Strawberry Farm runs now through November 16th, 2025.
We recently visited on a Friday, and while we had an absolute blast, it’s worth noting that some of the weekend activities weren’t running during our weekday visit. Be sure to keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates, as they sometimes add extra days in addition to weekends.
What to Expect When You Visit
You’re in for a treat! Expect pumpkin painting, face painting, and a variety of food trucks serving up delicious things to eat. Admission includes access to unlimited wagon rides, a sprawling 10-acre corn maze, and over 30 farm activities at Cottle Fun Park.
Plus, you’ll find picture-perfect photo props scattered throughout the farm, great for capturing those family moments.
While we spent about three hours exploring the farm, it’s worth noting that this was without the wagon rides or the corn maze. If those are on your agenda, plan accordingly, as they could easily extend your visit. The wagon rides are covered, providing a pleasant break from the South Carolina sun, even in the fall!
Fun Activities for All Ages: Fall Festival at Cottle Strawberry Farm
Our kids had a fantastic time, working up quite a sweat in the process! The highlights of the day included the corn pit, Roly Poly, mega jumping pillow, slides, and thrilling trike races. With multiple sand areas and plenty of balancing, climbing, and swinging attractions, there’s something for everyone—yes, even the adults! We found ourselves enjoying tetherball, racing on buzzy bees and trikes, and flying down the slides.
Don’t miss out on the many beautiful backdrops for photos; both the front and back of displays offer unique scenes, so be sure to check out both sides!
Tips for Your Visit to the Farm
A quick tip: wear long pants and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, especially if you or your kids plan to dive into the corn pit—trust us, you’ll emerge a little dusty! Fortunately, there are hand-washing stations equipped with soap and clean port-o-potties (at least during our visit), making it easy to freshen up.
Also, come prepared with fully charged phones and cameras to capture all those big smiles and unforgettable memories!
This farm has quickly become a weekend hit since launching its fall fun festival last year. With numerous attractions throughout, you won’t find a shortage of places for your family to play and create lasting memories. We left Cottle Strawberry Farm eager to return, especially to take advantage of all the activities we missed out on.
Tickets to the farm are $14 per person (ages 2 and up) when purchased online and $16per person (ages 2 and up) when purchased at the gate.
So grab your family, put on those comfy clothes, and head to Cottle Strawberry Farm for a day of fall fun you won’t soon forget!
