Fall is my favorite time of the year! I LOVE pumpkin patches, Halloween, and cooler temps. Even though I don't have kids, I still think this would be fun! You can hop on the "PEANUTS The Great Pumpkin Patch Express" in the mountains of NC soon. 

The Great Pumpkin train runs on Friday and Saturday the first weekend of October until the last, in Bryson City, NC. Guests will hear a narration of Schulz’s “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” as the train travels to the Pumpkin Patch. Upon arrival, passengers will be greeted and have a photo opportunity with Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy. During the 1 hour and 30 minute layover, your activities to enjoy at The Great Pumpkin Patch will include:

  • campfire marshmallows
  • coloring station
  • temporary tattoos
  • trick or treating
  • bouncy house (weather permitting)
  • wagon rides

It's recommended that you purchase tickets ahead of time, as they are likely to sell out. All the details can be found here. Wonder if I'm too old to go? Looks like so much fun!
