Autumn’s pages turn pretty quickly, especially with all there is to do all season long – from taking picturesque fall hikes in state parks to going leaf-peeping in different corners of the state. One of the most treasured traditions of the fall season is, of course, visiting local farms to go pumpkin picking, to escape from a corn maze, and to shoot corn from a cannon. Add Red Barn Ranch in Missouri to your must visit list this fall.
Gather the whole family for a memorable autumn day at Red Barn Ranch, tucked in Harrisonville, which transforms into a fall wonderland every September and October.
If the name Red Barn Ranch rings a bell, you've probably seen the episode of Netflix's Queer Eye, in which the "Fab Five" made over Matt and his ranch.
Today, the working farm is far more than just a working farm. While visitors are welcome all year around by appointment only, the farm transforms into an autumn wonderland each September and October.
Bring the whole family for a day of fun that includes pumpkin picking, of course, and a full menu of other family-friendly activities. Get your face painted, for example.
See how long it takes to escape from the two-acre corn maze. Shoot the corn cannon to win a pumpkin, and play a game of pumpkin bowling or pumpkin tic-tac-toe.
That's just the beginning of the fun on the ranch, which also features corn pits with slides, mini golf, and cardboard cutouts behind which to snap photos.
