Default Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, and other Fall Fun in Pittsburgh Area?

Just about to run my boy out to our favorite pumpkin patch today for a few pony rides,the corn maze, and to pick out a couple pumpkins. Got any of those sorts of things close by there? Looking for family fun, not the adult parties someone was asking about a few days back (not that there's any thing wrong with those..). I am not above slipping some rum in the old folks' cider, helps to make the corn maze more challenging...

Also, any place where folks do sleigh rides in winter? Sorry to be so annoying, but I do kind of like those kind of things.

As an aside, there is a very funny thread going on the New Mexico about whether you can move there without painting your house pastel, howling coyote stencils, and feather dreamcatchers. Much sarcasm ensued. And the New Mexicans were saying, absolutely, its the law. They replied that they expected everyone from Maine to decorate in a nautical theme with craggy sea captains. Now...Pennsylvania...seems like you must all eat Quaker oats for breakfast, with Amish applesauce and maple syrup, eat off constitution place mats on impeccably crafted tables, live in impossibly quaint towns with steep steeples, and of course go everywhere in sleighs in winter...

There are farms with pumpkin patches, hay rides, etc. There are sleigh rides somewhere too. Remember, you actually need snow for the sleigh rides. Dont worry. We have it all here.

We don't get enough snow near the city for a sleigh ride to be scheduled ahead of time. You're best bet is to plan a trip into a surrounding county where the snow doesn't melt in the winter. The ski resorts have sleigh rides. There's a resort called Nemacolin Woodlands that has sleigh rides and dog sled rides. These aren't areas near the city. They're about an hour away. The pumpkin patches and hay rides are much closer---at farms within Allegheny County.
