October is officially underway, and as fall begins to emerge, thoughts turn to pumpkins and haunted places.
Pumpkinland at Linvilla Orchards in Media, a Delaware County family favorite, is officially open daily. Visitors can walk through for free, though tickets are required for many of the activities. A range of pumpkins and other farm products is available for sale.
There’s a lot to do, including harvest hayrides, pick-your-own apples, and fishing at Orchard Lake. There is a straw bale maze, a corn maze, and apple blasters, train rides, pony rides, and face painting.
In the evening, kids can enjoy a Hayride to the Witch’s House, and families can take an Autumn Moon Hayride.
There’s also a beer garden, food and snacks, a playground, barnyard, and Linvilla’s Farm Market.
