Additionally, the Cavs have a matchup against the Indiana Pacers scheduled for Saturday night at 7:30.


Spooky Days: Mapleside Farms

Family-friendly weekend and banish any thoughts of Spooky Days haunting you! Kids are encouraged to don their costumes and fully immerse themselves in the enchanting Pumpkin Village.

Our charming, not-so-spooky characters will be wandering around the premises, adding to the fun.

Pumpkin Village is the magical transformation of Mapleside Farms into the ultimate autumn family destination, featuring live entertainment and a multitude of special attractions that will make everyone feel like a child once more. Pumpkin Village is open during every themed weekend, offering over 20 fantastic attractions for your enjoyment.

Embark on an adventure in the Jurassic Myles Corn Maze (Featuring #95), take a leisurely tour of the orchard on our Cow and Pig Trains, savor the picturesque views during our newly enhanced Hayride, and experience an adrenaline rush as you zoom down the longest slide in America on the 311-foot “Super Slide.” Soar to new heights on our Two Giant Jump Pillows.

Be sure to catch the Pig Races presented by the hilarious comedic crew from MSPN (Mapleside Sports Network) providing lively play-by-play commentary. Witness the entertaining antics of the Goats at the Billy Goat Bluff and discover even more delightful surprises!

If you relish making unforgettable memories with your loved ones, a visit to Mapleside Farms in the fall is an absolute must.
