When is The Farm at Walnut Creek Open?
The Farm at Walnut Creek is open April – October. Special events happen throughout the year. The Fall Festival takes place on Fridays and Saturdays in October (and on Columbus Day). The Journey to Bethlehem happens on the first Saturday in December. Check The Farm at Walnut Creek Facebook page for updates on events.
Our children love the Fall Festival because it includes a pumpkin slingshot, a tower of hay bales, and a giant sandbox-like-structure that is full of corn. Check out more things to do in Amish Country during fall.
