Apples, Pumpkins & Corn Mazes: Fun Family Farms For a Late Summer or Fall Day Trip From Edmonton

Nothing says fall like a visit to the farm! Lucky for those in the Edmonton area, there are a variety of farms to visit with all sorts of unique and family-friendly attractions. Some farms around north-central Alberta still offer u-pick and will offer pumpkins as soon as they are ready.

Prairie Gardens & Adventure Farm

Other farms grow their corn over the summer to great heights and in amazing maze shapes so we can challenge one another, get lost, and enjoy the exercise. And others keep their focus on the fun-loving, people-loving farm animals like goats, pigs, sheep, or horses.

There are several ways to enjoy a family trip to any of these farms: go for a picnic, go for a walk, or just go for the scenic rural drive!

Edmonton Corn Maze

The corn stalks at the Edmonton Corn Maze are getting taller and taller and are now ready to act as the ultimate labyrinth. This year’s maze design represents a tribute to the Edmonton Food Bank and can take a few hours to make your way through. Along with the Corn Maze, visitors can also visit with farm animals, pick for pumpkins, take photos, and shop the on-site market.
