Lancaster County (PA) – Fall is a magical time of year at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm. Temperatures are beginning to drop. The corn stalks and surrounding farmland will soon show their fall colors. And a series of special events have been added to Cherry Crest’s 15 acres of farm fun outdoor activities.This year’s “Music Through the Decades” 5-acre corn maze continues to challenge trekkers to find hidden clues and Kernels of Knowledge – through a gigantic interactive game that offers multiple levels of play and fun diversions to test your navigational skills.
Starting Sept. 19th, you can also tackle the maze at night in a series of 18 Flashlight Mazes that will run every Friday–Saturday from 6:30-10 p.m. through closing day Nov. 8. Initially started as a non-scary alternative to Halloween, the Flashlight Maze is a completely different experience because the moon and a flashlight guide the way. They’re great for groups as admission also includes a bonfire and wagon ride, plus you can add a campfire package with food options.
The Fall Season schedule also includes:
• Pick-Your-Own To Take Home – Friday/Saturday Sept. 20 – Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wonder through six acres of pumpkins and popcorn (that you pop in a microwave, right on the ear). Plus there’s Cherry Crest’s Fall Market that is set up by the General Store.
• Family Fun Day – Sept. 20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with guest entertainment plus exhibits by area ministries who serve local, regional and international causes.
• Columbus Day Monday – Oct. 13 from 10am-5pm. with all of the regular daytime activities.
• Sukkos Holiday – Tuesday, Oct. 14, noon – 5 p.m. with a special menu by Central PA Kosher Mart.

• Pumpkin Madness Festival – Saturday, Nov. 1 from noon until 5 p.m., with a zany roster of pumpkin destruction activities and a special menu of pumpkin inspired food.
A general admission Day Pass includes over 50 Farm Fun games, activities and rides – from the maze to the Farm Experience Center and Discovery Barn, plus great rides like the Wagon Express, Pedal Karts and Farm Tour Wagon Ride.
