Anticipation is high for 2024’s Big Mac’s Patch, an eagerly awaited event filled with fun, laughter, and tons of immersive outdoor activities for everyone. Nestled in the heart of a traditional pumpkin patch, this year’s lineup promises adventures more exciting than the previous seasons, with a gigantic bale maze featuring 305 bale challenges designed to thrill and amaze both the young and young at heart.
Now in its sixth year running, Big Mac’s Patch has been the go-to fall destination for outdoor activities. Themed after the fascinating world of agriculture, the Patch aims to bring everyone closer to the beauty of the season while experiencing fun and excitement. Each year, the Patch introduces new elements to keep every visit unique and fresh. Special activities such as bouncing horse races, prairie golf, hayrides, and even a 100-foot zip line on site, offers a day filled with fun for everyone.
Paintball enthusiasts have something to look forward to as well. The addition of paintball maze wars this year brings an adrenaline-filled experience that tests your agility and stamina. Fun and excitement mirror each step as you navigate through the maze, invigorate your senses, and test your survival skills.
But that’s not all. As soon as the sun sets, Big Mac’s Patch transforms into a magical, illuminated playground with an equally exciting night activity lineup. Adult visitors can revel in the cool breeze of the fall night, while thrill-seekers could try out the popularly haunted nights guaranteed to get your heart pounding with thrill and exhilaration.
Big Mac’s Patch will officially commence its season starting the last weekend of September, with operating hours of 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Every weekend from September to late October promises different adventures that are just waiting to be experienced.
Also, let’s not forget about the true essence of fall – the food! Taste and savor traditional pumpkin and fall snacks, including irresistible pumpkin bars, crispy funnel cakes, luscious pumpkin pies, and more. Warm your hearts with the delicious fall drinks available, from flavored coffees, teas, to ciders.
