Highlights From Our Fall 2026 Visit

Where can you find farm fun before sunset and glowing pumpkins after dark? Sara’s Farm Adventure in Trenton is SERIOUSLY worth the drive, y’all. During the day or after dark, you’re going to be making ALL kinds of fall memories in one fantastic place! Here’s what stood out on our latest visit.

New in 2026: The 6‑Lane Mega Slide

This slide sits on a hill so tall you can see it from most of the rest of the farm! The minimum height is 36″, but riders MUST ride alone, so use your best judgment with toddlers. If it helps, you can ride in the lane next to them and hold hands!

Pedal‑Powered Racecars for All Ages & Sizes

This was a major highlight for ALL our kids. They’ve got cars in different sizes, and if your kids are too small to pedal, you can help by pushing and steering, or even drive with them in your lap!

Name‑Your‑Own‑Pig Races

Ever wanted to see Bacon & Ham race? Well, we did! When you arrive, ask for the pig race schedule so you can catch at least one. Kids from the audience name the pigs, and then you cheer them on as they run!

Other seriously fun attractions:

• Two custom‑built tractor playsets
• A large sand pit with tons of toys
• A large, shaded corn crib for sensory play
• A tractor‑pull challenge that will tempt every dad and lad to test their strength!
• Spooky‑not‑scary wagon rides
• A meandering corn maze
• The jump pillow

Add‑ons for a price:

• U‑pick wildflowers and pumpkins
• Farm animal feed
• Gem mining
• Paintball
• Apple cannons
• A gift shop with tons of kids’ items
• Drink, dinner, and donut stands

And if you’ve got kids who can stay up until after dark, DO NOT miss Jack‑O’‑Lantern Lane! It opens only after dark (the farm lists it as dark until 10 pm), and on our visit that meant somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. Heads up: it gets dark earlier once the clocks fall back on November 1. You’ll need the combo ticket (or a season pass) for the after‑dark experience.

Perfect for families who want to explore, play, and enjoy fall traditions all in one place.
