So Which is the Best Pumpkin Patch in Abbotsford?
This one is a tricky answer because everyone has their own favorites. Whether it is the nostalgia of visiting from years gone by, taking photos of their children each year, or little memories of their own childhoods.
I personally loved Maan Farms outdoor area for the kids in 2020. With social distancing at the top of mind for visitors, there is lots of room for the kids to spread out in the petting zoo, on the tricycle track and on the multiple play areas. Whether they are following the hopping bunnies, or zipping on the zipline, there is plenty to occupy them. Their fruit wines are also a nice treat for mom and dad and their hot lunch options are delish!
