Fun Things Kids activities for toddlers Delaware county , Delaware County Halloween

Family Friendly Hayrides to the Witches House

at Linvilla Orchards

A Hayride to the Witch's House is a fun, family oriented activity hosted by Linvilla Orchards, beginning October 5th. A hayride through the orchards takes you to the Witches House. Linvilla's witch will charm kids by handing out treats and telling stories. Then everyone can sit by a bonfire, toast marshmallows, and drink fresh apple cider.

There are no scares. The hayride is not haunted, it's especially designed for younger children. You won't have to wait very long to board a haywagon; multiple wagons run consistently during peak hours. The cost is $8 per person and is a perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit.

After your ride, treat yourself to all the ongoing Pumpkinland activities. Get inspired by the jack-o-lantern exhibit and pick up some pumpkins to carve at home with the kids. Enjoy all the mystery and lore of the season with family and friends at Linvilla Orchards.

Linvilla Orchards is a 300-acre family farm dedicated to agriculture, education and entertainment, and is located at 137 West Knowlton Road, in Media, PA. Call 610-876-7116 or visit www.Linvilla.com.
