Petey’s Pumpkin Patch at Fantasy Farms in Chilliwack
Petey’s Pumpkin Patch is a family-friendly Halloween attraction at Fantasy Farms in Chilliwack. The seasonal event combines pumpkin picking with a corn maze, farm animals, train rides and other activities for children and families.
Located in the Fraser Valley, Fantasy Farms becomes a popular fall destination when Halloween season arrives. The farm offers a more relaxed alternative to the scarier haunted attractions in the region, making Petey’s Pumpkin Patch particularly appealing to families with younger children.
October Fun at Fantasy Farms
Fantasy Farms offers two very different Halloween experiences each fall. During the daytime, Petey’s Pumpkin Patch provides a cheerful autumn outing filled with pumpkins and kid-friendly entertainment. After dark, Reapers Maze of Terror takes over with a much more frightening experience aimed at older visitors and serious Halloween fans.
Petey’s Pumpkin Patch is the better choice for families looking for traditional fall activities without the intense scares of a haunted attraction. Children can explore the farm, play in designated areas and enjoy seasonal activities surrounded by pumpkins and autumn decorations.
Fantasy Farms is located at 9423 Gibson Road in Chilliwack. It’s approximately 30 minutes east of Abbotsford and can be reached from the Trans-Canada Highway via Exit 123.
What to Do at Petey’s Pumpkin Patch
Pumpkin picking is naturally one of the main highlights. Visitors can head into the pumpkin field and choose a pumpkin to take home, with different sizes available.
The attraction also includes several activities for children. Depending on the season, families can enjoy miniature train rides, a bouncy castle, farm animals, play areas and a family-friendly corn maze.
The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces means there are plenty of places for children to explore during a visit. Petey’s Pumpkin Patch is also a popular choice for school outings, birthday celebrations and family days during the fall.
Family-Friendly Corn Maze
The daytime corn maze is manageable for children and provides a fun way to explore the farm. Kids can also look for activity stations and collect stamps as they make their way through the maze. Families who want a traditional fall corn maze experience can enjoy this attraction during their Petey’s visit, while older Halloween fans can return after dark for the much scarier Reapers experience.
Meet the Farm Animals
Fantasy Farms is an operating farm, so animals are another part of the experience. Children can see various farm animals around the property, with goats and rabbits sometimes available for gentle interactions. The animal area is located close to Fort Runamuk, the children’s play area. The area also features small playhouses and other spaces where younger children can burn off some energy between activities.
