Dull’s Tree Farm and Pumpkin Harvest Activities 2023
The fall festival at Dull’s Tree Farm and Pumpkin Harvest will begin on September 23, 2023 and run through October 29. There are truly so many activities that we didn’t have time to do them all, but we sure had fun trying. In our experience, Dull’s Pumpkin Farm is wheelchair-friendly.
The Big Slides
The first thing we saw when we walked into Dull’s Tree Farm and Pumpkin Harvest was the big slides. These truly are huge and crazy fun slides. The slower slide goes through a tunnel and is super fun but at a less intense speed. The larger slide is fast and spectacularly fun. My four-year-old gleefully rode the slide and we saw kids younger and much older riding all day long. There are three lanes on the larger slide so you can challenge your friends and family to see who can slide the fastest.
The Barrel Train
I was delighted to find that the Barrel Train was large enough to allow parents to ride with their kids. My 1.5-year-old son was able to sit on my lap and ride the train with me. Each barrel on the train has a small steering wheel for the kids to play with while they ride. This was a simple, but really delightful part of the festival.
Trike-tor Racing
Large and small trikes are available for kiddos looking to race around the Trike-tor speedway. This activity was such a fun way to let the kids burn off some energy. Make sure you make time for this activity. There were so many kids joyfully shouting and racing around the track. Your kids will not want to miss this fun race.
Hamster Wheel
These large spinning rubber wheels presented a challenge to each member of our group. It seems like patience and some luck helps you succeed at running on these wheels. Watching people try to conquer the Hamster Wheel and its sister activity, the Hamster Wheel Race was one of the funniest parts of our whole visit.
Tire Mountain
Near the playground area is an enormous mountain made of huge tires. This mountain can be climbed over, crawled through, and slid down. Kids of all ages enjoyed this fun attraction. I even saw a few dads racing to the top.
Pumpkin Cannon
On Saturdays and Sundays, staff members prepare a very large cannon, the Jack-O-Launcher, to shoot a pumpkin at a van nearly a football field away. This event is rather quick at about ten minutes from start to finish and can be loud for those that are sensitive to sound. It truly was a sight to see a pumpkin blast out the barrel of a cannon toward a very large van. Once the pumpkin has exploded, staff members encourage kids to run down the field to collect the pieces.
Saturday Show Times: 11:30, 1:30, 3:30, & 5:30.
Sunday Show Times: 1:30, 3:30, & 5:30.
Even More Activities
There are so many amazing activities to choose from at Dull’s that it would be hard to do everything in one day. There are wagon rides to and from the corn maze and pumpkin patch. You’ll also find a cool musical instrument display made of kitchen supplies like pots and pans. Get lost in several types of mazes including a concrete labyrinth, a large metal fence maze, and a spider maze. There are also giant versions of everyday games like shuffleboard, tic-tac-toe, and checkers.
Families can participate in a rubber duck race, get their faces painted, play on the playground, try their hand at a giant slingshot or stilts, ride a pony, or shoot a country air cannon. Believe it or not, this is still just the beginning of all there is to do at Dull’s Tree Farm and Pumpkin Harvest.
Food
The food at Dull’s Farm was so amazingly good. The Feed Bunk has pulled pork sandwiches, giant soft pretzels, and apple cider slushies. The Sugar Shack sells the most heavenly apple cider donuts, stroopwafles, and apple cider. Craving a burger or hot dog? You can find them at the farm’s third food location, The Grill.
