Pumpkinville

I've found another inexpensive family fun trip! Pumpkinville in Great Valley Ny!
this talking pumpkin greats you & tells you all about pumpkins & how nutritious they are. He also tells all about Pumpkinville & what to see & do while you're there. It's free admission & Parking. you only pay for food & rides. They even press fresh cider which was a big hit for the kids to watch.
They weren't as crowded this year since we had just had all that snow. It was cold & muddy.
So we put on our winter coats & boots & had a blast! The kids really enjoyed it. Here they checked their heights.
Feeding the goats was a highlight of the day. You pay a quarter to get a handful of corn, put it in this can on the belt & crank the handle to send it up to the goat waiting for the corn.
The haunted house was free, small but the kids really enjoyed it. I lost track on how many times they went through it.
The cow ride was a hit for the younger ones. Yes, you had to buy a ticket, but it was worth it. she had so much fun! she was too young last year for this ride.

There are several cutouts through out the grounds like this one. "Kids" of all ages enjoyed theses. So, once again we found some place we could have family fun & didn't cost too much to go. We drove about an hour & a half to get there. We stopped for supper on the way home. That was probably the most we spent all day.
Share your ideas on inexpensive family fun!! We can't let the economy keep us from spending time together.
