Jackson Farm Fall Festival

Jackson Farm in Black Rock stacks more than 45 fall activities on one property, among them a corn maze, a petting zoo, hay rides, jumping pads, and photo setups. Pig races run several times a day, a magic show with balloon art takes a midday slot, and a candy cannon fires in the afternoon. A butterfly release gathers in the zinnia field, a twilight maze adds flashlight walking and candy stations, and a Christmas-themed weekend brings a live nativity and hot chocolate. Catch a pig race early, then use the gap before the candy cannon for the maze.

Our take: Catch an early pig race, then do the corn maze before the candy cannon.
