Fall Activities In Missouri August 25, 2022 Carolyn Harmon Where is another one of the best pumpkin patches in Missouri? The Red Barn Ranch in Harrisonville, Missouri, offers several fun-filled, pumpkin farm activities, such as corn pits with slides, a truck slide, an irrigation arm swing set, a two-acre corn maze, a barrel train ride, a corn hole, and an antique tractor barn. If you are ages three and up, the cost to get in is $10, providing you with a great day in the country. And the best part is the Family Center Farm & Home Animal Barn to peek in on the sheep, alpacas, goats, and Taco, the miniature donkey. Get ready for some amazing photo opportunities. What is another one of the best things to do in Missouri in the fall? Dunn’s Cider Mill in Belton is famous for its fresh apple cider and cider doughnuts, and what could taste better when the chill snaps the air? How about some Amish jams or apple butter to take home? The quality comes from the mill used in pressing the cider, giving it its distinctive characteristics. For 40 years, folks have made it their fall tradition to include Dunn’s in their autumn activities. Give it a try, and pick up a cookbook while you’re there. Where is one of the most beautiful fall destinations in Missouri? Ha Ha Tonka State Park in Camdenton offers intriguing history and compelling geologic features, such as mysterious sinkholes, creepy caves, sheer bluffs, a sprawling natural bridge, and the state’s 12th largest spring. If that isn’t enough, you archeological types will be drawn to the ruins of a turn-of-the-century stone castle. Fall in love with the expansive views of Ha Ha Tonka Spring and the Lake of the Ozarks or take advantage of the trails. Follow up the day with a picnic beside your choice of over-the-top settings. This is one of the best state parks near me in Missouri.
