Arrival at Camelback’s Fall Fest
We arrived at Camelback’s Fall Fest around 3 PM, and the brisk fall weather was already setting the perfect backdrop for a day filled with fun. The festival takes place every weekend in October at Camelback Mountain Adventures, offering an abundance of seasonal activities and outdoor excitement. With the crisp air energizing us, we were ready to explore everything the festival had to offer
Exploring the Mini Maze
One of the first things we did was head to the mini maze, where my daughter eagerly took the lead. The maze, designed for kids, was a great way to kick off the adventure. The festival offers pumpkin bowling, hayrides, and even a ball pit for kids, but the maze was perfect for a young child like her. It was challenging enough to be exciting but not overwhelming
Family Time at the Mini Golf Course
Next, we ventured over to the newly opened 18-hole mini golf course. With the mountain views as the backdrop, this was a fun experience for both kids and adults alike. My daughter enjoyed playing golf alongside her mom, laughing at every missed swing and celebrating each successful putt
Animal Encounters: Cows, Sheep, and Goats
One of the highlights for my daughter was the petting zoo, where we got up close with some adorable cows, sheep, and goats. Seeing the excitement on her face as she interacted with the animals was priceless. The animals were friendly and made for a wholesome family experience. The petting zoo runs on Saturdays from noon to 6 PM, a perfect window for families to stop by
S’mores and Firepits to Warm Up
As the weather continued to be brisk, we found warmth by the cozy firepits, where s’mores kits were available for purchase. Sitting fireside and roasting marshmallows while taking in the beauty of the fall landscape made for a memorable family moment. The warmth from the fire added a cozy element to the chilly afternoon
Pumpkin Carving and Crafting Fun
We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the craft tent, where my daughter enjoyed pumpkin carving and creating fall-themed crafts. This creative space is ideal for kids, offering activities like sand art and coloring. It was a nice break from the outdoor activities and allowed her to express her artistic side
Live Music for the Perfect Atmosphere
Throughout the afternoon, live music filled the air, adding to the festive atmosphere. Camelback’s Fall Fest hosts live performances every weekend, making the experience even more enjoyable. We listened to a local band as we wandered through the festival, which added a layer of entertainment for both the adults and kids
Seasonal Treats and Fall Drinks
The festival wouldn’t be complete without indulging in some delicious fall-themed treats. From pumpkin spice lattes to spiked cider for the adults, Camelback’s food stands offered a little bit of everything. We particularly enjoyed the fresh hot dogs and chili, which kept us warm and energized for the rest of our adventures
The Thrill of the Mountain Coaster
For those looking for an adrenaline rush, Camelback offers a thrilling mountain coaster ride that operates during the Fall Fest. Although we didn’t ride it this time, it’s worth mentioning for families with older kids or thrill-seekers. The mountain coaster runs after dark as well, offering an even more exciting adventure under the night sky
Making Memories at Camelback’s Fall Fest
Overall, our visit to Camelback’s Fall Fest was filled with laughter, exploration, and quality family time. From the mini maze to the petting zoo and golf course, the festival offers something for everyone. The brisk weather only added to the cozy fall experience, making it a day we will remember for years to come. We can’t wait to return next year to create even more memories at this fall gem in the Pocono Mountains
