Taves Family Farm AppleBarn {Giveaway}

Last summer our family went to the AppleBarn in Abbotsford for the first time and we LOVED it.  We are going to go again but the reason I'm sharing about it now is because I am giving away a family pass this week!

{These pictures are from our last visit in case you are wondering why my kids suddenly look so small!}

What are some of the things that we love about the AppleBarn?






1.  The Giant Pumpkin Pillow!



2.  The playground and the poke-your-head-through-the-picture fun! They also have a giant ruler mural--I'll have to see how much they've grown since last year.  Don't forget to get a picture with Mater!







3. All of the animals.  Take a quarter and feed the goats some corn.



4.  The hayride.  It takes you all around the farm..the younger kids really liked this part.



5.  The corn maze! There is a child size maze and then a bigger one.  We did both and it was probably the kids' favourite part.  I'm glad Gary is around for these things – my sense of direction is terrible.



6.  Picking apples!  It's so good for kids to actually see where their food comes from and be part of the process in bringing it home.  They also have a store with a lot of sweet treats!



There is a special on currently (free adult with child ticket after 2:30 pm) or you can pay the family rate of $28.50 which includes 2 adults and 2+ kids anytime (awesome for those bigger families--like ours!)

Starting September 1st it's open seven days a week from 9:00 am -5:30 pm.  If you would like a chance to win a family pass to the AppleBarn, please enter below!

  1. My daughter has been all about bouncy castles recently, so I think she would love the jumping pillow this year. She also keeps asking to get to go pick apples.

    We went last year for the first time and Hannah loved picking out her own pumpkin on the hay ride and Gracie adored the goats and mini petting zoo

  6. Wow, that all looks like so much fun! My girls would probably love the animals... we've visited other farms with animals and they've spent hours watching or playing with them. The hay ride also looks like fun! :) Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check it out! :)

  7. We went once when Ezra was just a newborn! We'd love to go back and let the kids actually do everything, especially the pillow and petting zoo.

  27. We just got back from using our complementary pass to the Apple Barn. The whole family had so much fun. It's hard to pick a favourite part. The corn maze was great and we kept going back to the bounce pillow. The kids really liked the hay ride and pumpkin patch too! Oh, and feeding the goat on the troll bridge!!
