Teachers Are Heroes!

Saturday/Sunday, November 15-16

Each year we host thousands of students for educational (and fun!) school field trips, and they enjoy the FunPark and a few perks! But this weekend in November is set aside to honor the teachers! All teachers (with valid ID) are admitted free during “Teachers Are Heroes” weekend. Bring your family to pick a pumpkin and enjoy the 45+ things to do! Take a wagon ride. Shop in the Farm Market for seasonal decor, pots of blooming mums, pumpkins, gourds, and more. Snap a few pictures (and make memories) at the many photo props around the park! Leave your business card in a jar at the market for a chance to win a field trip for your class during strawberry season!

Watch for special promos on our Social Media just prior to the weekend event.

It’s a Grand Old Flag!

Saturday/Sunday, November 8-9

We will be getting a start on Veterans’ Day recognition with a bazillion flags around the FunPark! Each ticketed visitor will get a mini-US flag (while supplies last) to help us celebrate. Anyone with a U.S. Military ID and veterans will be admitted free (one per family, please!).

Day of the Dead Celebration

Saturday/Sunday, November 1-2

We’re pulling out all the stops in our first ever celebration of Dia de los Muertos at the Fall Festival and FunPark. Enjoy the music of strolling mariachi players. Come in costume or in Sugar Skull masks! Enjoy Mexican food and drinks available from our food vendors at the Fall Festival!

Halloween at the FunPark

Boo! It’s a Halloween adventure for the whole family. Everyone is invited to come in costume. Enjoy wagon rides, the corn maze and pumpkin patch — and oodles of other fun things to do and see. Don’t miss the mega slides, rubber duck races or creepy-crawly spider web! Visit the Farm Market for fresh produce, mums and pumpkins. We’re doing pumpkin painting, too!

We’ve Got Pumpkins!

Saturday/Sunday, October 18-19

Visit the pumpkin patch during our Fall Festival — or purchase pumpkins in the Farm Market! Take your pick! We have them in all sizes and shapes, and a variety of colors. This weekend, we will have face painting and pumpkin painting. Little girls (and big gurls) may come dressed as pretty Pumpkin Princesses!

Discover the FunPark

Monday, October 13

School’s out to commemorate Columbus Day, Discovery Day … or just Monday-the-Thirteenth! Take your pick, but come out to the Fall Festival at the FunPark to enjoy the day.  Get lost in our corn maze — this year’s theme celebrates our membership in Certified South Carolina Grown: From Farm to Any Table! Of course, you will definitely want to wander through the pumpkin patch for the perfect one(s) to take home. 45+ things to do, plus lemonade, slushies and snacks! Y’all come!

Learning is Fun on the farm

Homeschool Days

We have reserved two dates especially for homeschool groups.  Students take home a (free!) small pumpkin, and enjoy time in the FunPark. Bring lunches to enjoy a picnic at the farm.

Harvest Moon Hoedown

Saturday/Sunday, October 4-5

What is more lovely than a big harvest moon in the Fall?! Harvest is the reason for the season, and we’re celebrating with our Fall Festival at Cottle Strawberry Farm and FunPark. Our Farm Market is open with fresh produce, fall decor, luscious pots of mums, and seasonal goodies. It’s what we’re known for! There are 20 acres of things to do in the FunPark, including a corn maze. Poke through the pumpkin patch for the absolute perfect pumpkins! And don’t forget to make lots of memories with family pictures at the many photo props on the farm.
