Best Fall Festival/Pumpkin Patch in NoVA? (Burke: train, things to do)

[bamurray]

Good afternoon!

My husband and I want to take our 15 month old boy to a Fall Festival/Pumpkin Patch this weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions? I found an article on about.com, but I was hoping to get some recommendations on which one is the best

Thanks in advance for your response!!!

I would say Cox Farms, because it is the best. However, with a 15 month old, you might be better off at Burke Nursery. It is a little smaller and might have more to do with a 15 month old.

Cox Farms is a lot of fun, even for a toddler. There are enough things to do - hayride, milk the cow show, small slides, a wooden train to climb in, etc. Having said that, it's not cheap, and you'll probably be doing many more in years to come, that a smaller one might be enough for now.

We took our soon to Cox Farms last year, when he was about 13 months or so. It was a good size with lots to do and was pretty fun. There are a couple slides you can take your toddler down on and a haunted hayride which was ok. My only criticism is it's not a pumpkin patch. They just have a section with pumpkins in bins where you can pick one out. This year we want to actually take him to a big pumpkin patch but I think we'll have to drive further west than Cox Farms.

I agree. The best time to go to Burke Nursery is weekdays between 1-3pm (If you child naps at another time). It's a lot of fun for toddlers.
