Family fun and quality time don't have to end when September strikes! We have six ways to enjoy time as a family this fall in Oxford County that will provide lots of laughs, memories and maybe even a little education (we won't tell if you don't).
1. Take in an Adventure Farm
Snyder’s Family Farm in Bright definitely knows how to make the most of fall fun. Hit the back roads to this adventure farm where a jam-packed day of autumn goodness awaits. The bakery, filled to the brim with tasty treats, is open for enjoying a treat out on the picnic tables or grabbing to go. You and your fam can enjoy everything from gourmet s’mores kits and crazy butter tart flavours to homemade whoopie pies, cookies, cinnamon buns and more!
On Saturdays and Sundays, book yourself in with a farm fun ticket. You and the kiddos can enjoy this outdoor adventure farm at a discounted rate as you take on the pedal cart track, giant inflatable pillow, play areas and a straw jump. Meet some farm animals and of course grab a bite to eat at one of their on-site food attractions where you’ll find delicious eats like nachos, homemade pizza, cotton candy and more! They also have a licensed patio.
Finally, you need to check out their Sunset Campfire Experience. Perfect for city dwellers but a blast for everyone, your group will be set up at their own private campfire site. The fire will be pre-lit for you by the Snyder’s team so all you have to worry about is kicking back and enjoying each other’s company. Order a beer or other drink, food from the bakery, hotdogs, pizza and more! It’ll all be delivered right to your site.
2. Goat Recess
Remember kindergarten when your biggest worry was when you'd get your turn in the sandbox? Reignite that feeling when you join the 4-legged kids for goat recess at Udderly Ridiculous Farm Life. Join in the fun of Udderly Ridiculous Farm Life's goat playground, wander with a new friend or sit in the shade for a cuddle and a photo op. Each experience comes with a pre-briefing on the goats, the playground rules and oodles of time to just hang with the cool kids and share a yummy treat!
Afterward, be sure to hit up the farm store to pick up some of their delicious, award-winning ice cream, sparkling wine, lotion made with their goat milk, a variety of goat milk cheeses and more. You can also check out their other ridiculous experiences like goat recess, goat yoga and their signature Taste of Farm Life experience. Please note, these experiences are great for the teens in your family but are not suitable for very young children.
3. Discover the Dark Side of Oxford County
Where: Along this tour
Beer and coffee for you, ice cream and cows for the kids? Sounds good to us!
This tour through Woodstock makes for a perfect day with the kiddos. Help them discover delicious treats, find out where their food comes from and so much more as you sip and sample your way along this route.
4. Explore the Oxford County Cheese Trail
Where: 31 stops across the county
Of course, we wouldn’t have a list of family fun without including The Oxford County Cheese Trail. This self-guided, award-winning trail consists of thirty stops across Oxford County, each with a unique local cheese or dairy item available for purchase. That includes everything from cheese factories offering tours or samples to restaurants with local cheese on the menu, museums dedicated to cheesy heritage and more! You can’t do it all in one day so we recommend choosing a hub (Ingersoll, Woodstock or rural) and exploring a bunch from there.
