Fun-Filled Farms: A Perfect Outing for End-of-Summer Adventures
School is back and parents everywhere rejoice!!! 💃🕺
By next week, the entire state of North Carolina will be back to school. For many of us, this means the end to the phrase “I’m so bored” as our kids mill about the house demanding us to entertain them.
Alas, the entertaining never stops.
Did you know that in addition to amazing fresh food, you can also find huge adventures on farms throughout the state.
We’ve put together an itinerary of some of the biggest farm adventures in our state that might take your breath away. It’s called the Coolest Farm Day Adventure Ever and you can find it on the Visit NC Farms app (Apple / Android).
Let’s start with the natural pools found at Carrigan Farms!
Unearthing Natural Wonders
Carrigan Farms property has a huge natural pool formed in a natural rock quarry. With rope swings, diving platforms, floats, and more, you can escape the heat with refreshing natural waters in a breathtaking natural environment. See the pictures for yourself.
a-MAZE-ing fields
North Carolina’s Sunflower mazes are winding down, just in time for corn mazes to emerge. These mazes are a staple at many farms. As summer transitions to autumn, these intricate mazes offer a perfect blend of adventure and challenge. Kids can test their navigational skills as they weave through towering sunflowers and cornstalks, working together to decipher clues and reach the finish line. This activity fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking while ensuring a delightful time for the entire family.
Sack Slides and More: Let’s Race
When it comes to farm activities that guarantee laughter and joy, few things compare to sack slides and other outdoor games. Kids can enjoy thrilling rides down the slides, engage in friendly races, and partake in various recreational games set against the picturesque backdrop of the farm. These activities not only keep children physically active but also provide an opportunity for socializing and making new friends. In the digital age, the chance for kids to unplug and engage in unstructured outdoor play is a valuable and often underrated experience.
Hill Ridge Farms is one of those farms that goes all out with slides and experiences. They even have a splash pad like a water park.
The end of summer doesn’t end family adventures. Farms that offer a plethora of exciting activities such as rock quarries, corn mazes, sack slides, and more provide an excellent option for parents seeking engaging experiences for their kids before the school year begins. These outings not only create lasting memories but also offer valuable opportunities for learning and growth.
We’ll see you on the farm.
