Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin 
The Pumpkin Patch is filled with hundreds of pumpkins. Field trips include a visit to the patch where you can select a pumpkin. Additional pumpkins are available for purchase, including specialty and jumbo-sized.

Petting Farm
Children will learn about our friendly farm animals, which include sheep, several breeds of goats, and other farm friends. Learn what they eat, their unusual teeth, and other ways animals are unique from people. 

Hay Wagon Ride & Farm Tour 
Climb aboard the antique tractor-pulled wagon ride for a tour of the farm at Kellogg Ranch. It’s a great place for a group photo op!

Jr. Farmers Discovery Zone
Includes a Mini Corn Maze and other fun fall activities.

Children’s Garden
The Children's Garden is a fun place to learn about how our food grows. It includes a Healthy Eats nutrition program, the crazy world of Good and Bad Bugs, and a gooey Pumpkin Dissection all in a Fall setting. Students will also plant a seed in a cup to take home.

FAQs

At Kellogg Ranch, we believe that field trips are an irreplaceable memory that young students share with their peers and teachers. Because of our loyal supporters, our school trips have reached their capacity for several years in a row now. To ensure as many children as possible get to enjoy this experience,  we have limited the number of tickets available to adults. 

We welcome all families to join us on Saturdays and Sundays for our pumpkin festival.
