Farm Animals at Petey’s Pumpkin Patch

Fantasy Farms is a farm that grows produce, including corn and pumpkins. The place has a number of animals too which are fun for kids to see. It’s not a “petting zoo.” It’s more of a hobby farm where you can visit and enjoy the animals, but in most cases not touch them. Kids can pet the goats and the bunnies most years, however.

The animals are located near the kids’ play area which is called Fort Runamuk. That’s where you’ll also find a number of small kids’ play houses that children can enjoy.

The Family-Friendly Corn Maze

Another highlight at Petey’s is the corn maze. Fantasy Farms has two corn mazes. There’s the family-friendly one during the day that’s part of the Petey’s Pumpkin Patch attraction. There’s also Reapers Maze of Terror, which is separate, operates only at night, and is designed for older people who love getting scared.

The corn maze that’s included with admission to Petey’s is great! It’s simple and child-friendly. It’s not too big, but also not too small. This maze is perfect for young families who want to have fun without getting lost. While making your way through the maze, there are normally places to get stamps, which makes it extra fun and entertaining for little kids.

See the Petey’s Pumpkin Patch website for full details about the family-friendly attraction.

Tips & Advice

Below are some suggestions and other things to know to help you make the most of your trip to Fantasy Farms.

TIP #1: Getting a pumpkin straight from a farm is way more fun than picking one up at a grocery store. It’s also a great way to support local farmers.

TIP #2: Petey’s Pumpkin Patch is at an active farm and the pumpkins are out in the field. Wear appropriate footwear, especially if it has been raining over the past few days.

TIP #3: Chilliwack corn is famously delicious! While in the area, in addition to getting a pumpkin, you might also want to pick up some farm-fresh corn.

TIP #4: Don’t forget that gas in the Fantasy Farms area is typically cheaper than gas in Metro Vancouver. Fill up your tank while you’re in the Fraser Valley!

TIP #5: Reapers Maze of Terror is one of the Lower Mainland’s best haunted attractions. It’s great for older children, youth and adults. It’s not suitable, though, for younger children or extra timid people. If you like haunted houses, you’ll want to visit Reapers at night. If you don’t like scary stuff, then stick to the pumpkin patch!
