Cherry Crest Adventure Farm

A corn maze with a PLAY AREA inside!

One of my highlights from Cherry Crest Adventure Farm was definitely the corn maze.

It was so much fun, and they actually have 3 different routes you can take, which is perfect if you’re not exactly a pro at mazes like me.

You can choose the route that works best for you and the kids, and having a play area right inside the maze made it even more fun for us.

My 5-year-old came with me and had a great time exploring, so yes, it’s kid-friendly!

Road trip time. 🎃
We’re heading to Lancaster for the weekend and I need your recommendations.

Looking for farms, pumpkin patches, fall events, anything fun for the kids, and especially playgrounds that are worth checking out.

Time is limited but will try to squeeze in bunch of fun things to add to my fall Lancaster list.

Drop your favorite spots below.

Respectfully WTF is a “BOO” basket?

Me: which one should I choose for my son’s goodies?

Isn’t this the cutest spot ?

Ren's Coffeehouse & Books is definitely the kind of place I love finding.

I stopped at Ren’s and of course the first thing I had to try was an iced coffee from their fun drink menu. They use coffee beans from a local roaster, and they have handcrafted drinks, pastries, and cookies.

But Ren’s is more than just a coffee shop. They have a whole bookstore filled with new and used books, books from local authors, bookish gifts, and items made by local artists.

They also have a great children’s book section, which I loved.💙

There’s a reading area, board games, events, and plenty of space to just sit, read, relax, or enjoy your coffee.

A coffee shop, bookstore, and community space all in one. Please check out their page for monthly events.

You know that dog park in GT?

If you’ve been to the dog park with the nature playground, you may have noticed this lonely playground sitting directly across the street!

This playground was built last year, so it’s still pretty new and honestly, it’s cute!

There are a few different areas for different ages:

🎯 A section for the older kids with more of a parkour-style setup
🛝 A larger play area that can be enjoyed by kids of different ages
👶 A smaller section geared toward the littlest kids
💪 Adult fitness equipment, so you can get a little workout in while the kids play
🌳 Some shaded areas
⚾ Located right by the baseball fields
🚗 Plenty of parking and gated

I’m not sure if there’s a bathroom at this location, so that’s something I’d check before heading over.
