When fall rolls around, something spectacular happens at Dragonfly Farms. Brilliant autumn leaves emerge and bring all sorts of exciting activities for the entire family. The activities are designed to be educational and fun for children of all ages.
The 9th Annual Fall Festival & Pumpkin Playground began on Oct 1 and will continue until 31st at Dragonfly Farms in Hamilton, NJ on 966 Kuser Road. The festival hours are 11am – 6pm Monday through Sunday and is wheelchair accessible.
There is a nominal admission, $6 per person on weekdays and $10 per person on weekends. Children under 3 are free. Each paid admission receives a small carvable patch pumpkin, hay rides, access to the petting zoo, arts and craft and more! There are additional activities available for additional cost on weekends. These include: pony rides, face painting, sand art and much more. There is a food tent to refresh your little goblins as well.
Antonia Jones, Manager of Dragonfly Farms states,” We came to Hamilton from NY with our business and quickly noticed that Hamilton is a family oriented town. We felt the need to give back to the community and create this Fall wonderland for the families of Hamilton. Each year we add to the festival based on the communities input. Our employees work very hard building the entire festival and trails for the hayrides.”
On Friday, Oct 31, Dragonfly Farms will have their first Trunk or Treat: -Halloween Round up event. This event will start at 4pm and go until 7pm. It will create a safe place for children to go trick or treating. Patrons will have their treats in the trunks of their cars to distribute to the little goblins who attend. You must register in advance to participate. There will be a costume contest, parade at 5pm, live music and much more!!\
There will also be a dog Halloween costume contest on Oct 25th from 12 to 2pm as well
