Fall Fun at Grasshopper Farm is an outdoor autumn festival in Knightdale featuring a four-acre corn maze, farm games, and a local market. The farm opens its gates for the season with activities ranging from a giant twenty-foot sandbox and swing sets to gemstone mining and a pumpkin patch. Admission to the farm property is free, though some specific activities may require a purchase. This event is ideal for toddlers who will enjoy the mini corn maze, as well as older children who can navigate the larger maze. Park in the gravel lot on-site, and bring a stroller with sturdy wheels to navigate the dirt paths. Note that hayrides are only available on Saturdays, so plan a weekend visit if that is a priority for your children. This is an excellent weekend destination because it combines outdoor play with seasonal grocery shopping. You can let the kids burn off energy on the wooden play structure while you pick up fresh Amish butter, local ice cream, and pumpkins for your front porch.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
