1: Atlantic Farms
Pick your own pumpkins at Atlantic Farms in fall, then take a hayride, ride the barrel cars and find your way through the hand-cut corn maze and mini hay-bale mazes. The petting zoo has goats, cows, alpacas, sheep, pigs and ducks to feed by hand. The farm market sells local produce, plants, eggs and Mueller's Bakery pies, with Christmas trees and wreaths at the holidays.

Pet and feed rescued horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, an alpaca and a cow at the petting zoo, then ride the farm train past the animal pens or take a tractor-drawn wagon around the 25-acre farm. Birthday parties, summer programs and horseback riding lessons can be booked too. Every visit supports the nonprofit's therapy programs, and at Christmas the whole farm turns into a lit-up village.
