The last few falls I have gone to Noggins Corner in the Annapolis Valley but I wanted to go somewhere else this time. I was taking those cousins I mentioned above and since they live on the way to Truro, we visited Riverbreeze Farms in Onslow. We went up on the first weekend of October, it was a beautiful day and my cousins probably could've stayed even longer than we did but I had a hockey game to go to that night.
I would say Riverbreeze is more for pre-teens and younger at least in the day time as there are a number of other activities on the property that kids can interact with. These include a petting zoo, human hamster wheel, a tire structure you can climb, pig races and many games that you can play plus more. As it was pretty much the first thing you come to after getting your tickets, we did the petting zoo first. You really can only pet the alpacas, llamas and goats but they also had bunnies and even kangaroos which I was surprised by.
My cousins then did some of the games and had a ball on the human hamster wheel activity. It is very hard to stay standing so they couldn't stop laughing and went probably 10 times back and forth. Then we went to the corn maze. We had a hurricane about a week before so the stocks still hadn't had time to regrow to their full height when we were there. Meaning it was quite easy to navigate around the maze but we did still get a little lost. You were also able to play an 'investigation' game while going through the corn. Then we took a tractor hayride to the small pumpkin patch to get a few gourds. They had set up a few photo opportunities around the property as well which were cute and a couple of them had a stand to put your phone on.
All and all, it was a great afternoon with my cousins. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with them.
