Fall is right around the corner, which means it’s the perfect time to set out on an autumn adventure. Fortunately, the Beaver State is filled with fun fall activities, and there’s even a train ride that just may be the best pumpkin patch train ride in Oregon. If you’re looking for something the whole family will enjoy, you’ll want to put a trip to the Flower Farmer in Canby, Oregon on your calendar, starting at the end of September. Take a look:
The whole family will enjoy a fall day trip to the Flower Farmer in Canby, Oregon.
Google local/Melissa Scholl Harvest activities include a pumpkin patch, giant hay pyramid maze, and freshly squeezed apple cider.
When you’re in need of a break from the exciting fall festivities, you’ll want to hop aboard the Phoenix & Holly Railroad. This miniature train runs on weekends throughout the year.
Mitchell Stein Sr./Google The train ride costs $8 for adults (ages 13-64) and $5 for seniors (ages 65 and up) and kids (ages 2-12).
The 0.75-mile ride takes you on a long loop around the entire farm, and past the pumpkin patch. Be sure to scream in delight as you pass through the two tunnels (so you can see if there’s a fun echo inside the tunnels).
Lorissa Porteous/Google The train makes several stops along the way, including one at the farm’s petting zoo. You can pet goats, bunnies, and a donkey here.
The annual Pumpkin Run ride takes place daily during starting on September 28 - October 31, 2019. Put on your best Halloween costume and take a ride on the Pumpkin train available daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m..

There is also a haunted Boo Train scheduled for October 5th, 11th, 12th, and the 18th through the 30th from dark until 9:00 p.m. This ride is a little more scary than the Pumpkin Train and may not be as fun for very small children.

A visit to this fun Oregon farm and ride on the Phoenix & Holly Railroad may be the best fall train ride in Oregon for a small farm activity the entire family will enjoy.

Best Pumpkin Patch Train Ride In Oregon August 10, 2019 Robin Jarvis What are the best pumpkin patches in Oregon? There’s no doubt about the family fun and memories to be made at a pumpkin patch during the Halloween season. Fall in Oregon is one of the best times of year to gather out of doors for family fun and a visit to a pumpkin patch yields hours of it. The best pumpkin patches in Oregon are the ones found on farms - and those that include other fall festivities (corn mazes, fresh apple cider and cider donuts, hayrides, barn events, and petting zoos) are among the favorites. After hours of family fun, be sure to go home with that perfect pumpkin fit for carving your jolliest (or scariest) jack-o’-lantern to light up the front porch for trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. For a list of 12 charming and fun, must-visit pumpkin patches in Oregon this year, see this Only In Your State article! What fall train rides can you take in Oregon? A scenic drive through Oregon as the leaves begin to change color is a must-do each year. But a ride on a scenic railroad to see the colors of autumn is another story altogether! Imaging whisking along the landscape and taking in all of the splendor of the fall season and letting someone else worry about the route and the driving! For two of the best fall foliage train rides in Oregon, you’ll want to hop on the following trains: For a coastal fall foliage journey, hop on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad’s Fall Splendor train ride. It runs on Saturday and Sunday in October and has two daily departures. More in this article. And for a fall foliage train ride near the City of Portland, Mt. Hood Railroad’s Fall Harvest Excursion offers a four-hour adventure that includes a stop in another town before heading back to the starting point. Learn more in this article! What are the best fall festivals in Oregon? The fall season brings with it one last opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors before the temperatures in Oregon plummet for the winter season. Fortunately, there are many fall festivals and harvest fests that make gathering with friends and family to celebrate an adventure you can’t pass up. Some of Oregon’s best fall festivals include: Fest Portland (second weekend in September), Fall Kite Festival in Lincoln City (first weekend in October), Mount Angel’s Oktoberfest (second weekend in September), Corvallis Fall Festival in Corvallis (last Saturday and Sunday in September), and the Hood River HopsFest (third Saturday in September).
