These locations offer winter hay rides, sleigh rides, sledding, tubing or other winter events. READ EACH LISTING to know what each facility offers. The farms are listed further down this page, so scroll down the page! I'm always looking for more to add, and to correct any inaccuracies or errors, so if you encounter any,
please email me!
Tips:
- If the name is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
- ALWAYS call BEFORE YOU GO to confirm their hours
and whether they have events and which attractions or winter activities are available.
All three can change during the short winter season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and I have no way of knowing, because I can't call or visit every farm every month, let alone every day. For
more tips to make your trip fun
and successful, click here! DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM BY PHONE OR EMAIL!
- And please tell the farmer you visit in Arizona that you found their farm
here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!
