While there is not a traditional hayride at Amber Brooke Farms, there is a Cow Train Ride (barrel style) that is super fun. Plus there are beautiful flower fields and a crop maze you’ll pass by as you snuggle your little pumpkin on the Cow Train Ride.

3. A Lot of Pumpkins

Select days: Saturday, September 29 – Sunday, November 2, 2024
Fall activities, hayride and maze, plus fresh pumpkins to take home

A Lot of Pumpkins located at Santa’s Christmas Tree Forest is full of family fun. The maze at this fall festival is fairly simple and winds through tall fencing. It is not actually through corn like other corn mazes in Orlando.

Still, there is plenty of shade, so many cute areas, and plenty of refreshments for sale.
