A season of events at Snyder’s Farm
During the summer and fall, Snyder’s Farm offers a variety of fun events and activities for everyone. In late June, they usually host their popular Strawberry Picking event with pick-your-own strawberries during the weekends. Come October, the Fall Festival weekends come alive with pumpkin and sunflower picking, hayrides, a corn maze to explore, lively music, delicious food trucks, and delish cider donuts with fresh apple cider. Kids will have a blast with lots of exciting activities, including a Big Slide, climbing tunnels, a wooden train, cornhole, a spider web, backhoe diggers, corn cribs, and a hay bale maze. There’s even more fun with a jumbo jumper, pumpkin cannons, and a sunflower trail where you can pick the flowers that kids will love.
Finding fun with games, photos, and food
Whether you’re going for a picking or a special event, Snyder’s Farmhouse has a bunch of games on the lawn, so kids can spread out and play, and parents can sit for a bite. Kids can climb on the oversized Adirondack chair (a prime photo op), put their faces in cutouts for goofy photos, play ring toss, and try hula hoops. And on weekends, there is a diverse assortment of food trucks to grab a bite.
