The Farm Train Ride In Connecticut That’s Perfect For A Fall Day

Connecticut is loaded with horrifying haunted houses and other terrifying events made to scare even the bravest of adults. While those Halloween attractions keep the grownups entertained, the little kids in your life just aren’t ready for that kind of frightful entertainment. This farm train is oodles of fun and designed especially with the wee ones in mind. Enjoy an afternoon in the country with the kids to celebrate the harvest season.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

Buttonwood Farm in Griswold is bursting at the seams with fall fun for the family. From September 22th to October 28th on weekends and holidays, the farm will be open for autumn entertainment.

Hop aboard the farm train for a scenic ride around the property. The train cars are barrels cut, designed, and decorated to look like cows. How cute is that?

A tractor pulls the cow train around the farm. Don't worry if your little one can't ride alone, there's plenty of room for two in a car.

Enjoy more than the fantastic train ride at Buttonwood Farm. Head out to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect one to take home.

Get lost in the 7-acre corn maze. The winding paths will keep you puzzled.

You may have to drag the kiddos away from the giant corn pit.

This fall-themed spin on the tried and true sandbox. Little ones can sift, scoop, and push vehicles around for hours.

Climb around on the straw bale mountain. Rise to new levels or go through the tunnel on this natural jungle gym.

The fall train, corn maze, pumpkin patch, corn pit, and straw bale mountain will keep the family occupied all afternoon but there's more...

Finish your visit off with some delicious homemade ice cream. Fall in love with the seasonal flavors like apple crisp, pumpkin oatmeal crumble, and caramel apple. Of course, you can still enjoy the regular scrumptious flavors too.
