The One Mississippi Town Everyone Must Visit This Fall

Sometimes, you find fun in the most unexpected places. And that’s exactly the case with Blue Mountain. A tiny town of less than 700, it’s the last place you’d expect to find one of the state’s best fall attractions. But that’s exactly what you’ll find there, which is why you’ve got to plan a visit this fall. Take a look:

Located in Tippah County, Blue Mountain is most known as the home of Blue Mountain College. But that’s not all the town has to offer.

It’s also where you’ll find Pumpkin Patch Farms.

The farm opens to the public each October offering seasonal fun for the entire family.

Like most farms, Pumpkin Patch Farms has a pumpkin patch, corn maze, wagon rides, and train rides.

That’s in addition to pony rides and a petting zoo.

A couple of play areas and a variety of slides are also part of the farm fun.

In addition to typical farm activities, there are a slew of non-traditional activities offered like the Haytona Speedway.

There’s also the Goats on a Roof attraction, which lets you get close-up views of goats as they climb around their 2-story pen.

Tasty concessions and great photo-ops are also plentiful at Pumpkin Patch Farms, so make sure to bring your appetite and your camera.

For more information, call (662) 685-4328. You can also visit the farm’s website.

Address: 2390 County Road 805, Blue Mountain, MS 38610
