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.

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?
