Hayride Fun For All! St. Charles Park District Primrose Farm Autumn Hayrides.
Fall calendars can quickly fill up with autumn festivals, costume parties and pumpkin carving, so why not slow down to enjoy the beauty of the season with an old-fashioned hayride and bonfire at Primrose Farm in St. Charles?
The ride is Family Friendly without haunted decorations and effects, which is what draws many people to this annual event.
The 2-mile, 30-minute ride on Primrose property is the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with family; or enjoy a night out with your church groups, Scouts and other organizations, as the modern John Deere tractors pull two wagons each.
Breathe in the crisp evening air, taking in the 100-plus acres of rural landscape. Gaze at the visible stars and the moon lighting the way as the hayride travels along the soybean field, into the hayfields, towards Ferson Creek and then follows the tree line back to the barn.
“It’s hard to find Halloween activities for younger kids who don’t want to be scared or children with special needs who may have sensory sensitivities,” said Alison Jones, Manager of Farm Programs and Interpretive Services. “Our ride is not scary. It may be dark, but it’s not spooky.”
Don’t forget to say hello to the friendly farm animals including donkeys, sheep, goats and cows along the way.
Having a bonfire and being able to see the animals really sets this hayrides apart from others in the area.
Moonlight hayrides are one St Charles Park District’s most popular programs, and it’s fun to see many repeat guests from the same groups each year.
Each ticket includes all the fixings to make yummy s’mores over an open fire. Everyone is welcome to visit all of the farm animals, too. Ages 15 and under must be accompanied by a paying adult. Ages 1 and under free.
