  Establish your family "basecamp" in our shaded picnic area, and from there, everyone can find the things they love to do. The little ones will love our play area, with slides, the corn bin cabin, pedal trikes, and the goat walk. The whole family will enjoy our new Live Pig Races show, watching to see if Squeller or Boss Hog brings home the bacon! How often can you say that when you went pumpkin picking, you also rode across a 700' Zip Line and got lost in the worlds largest corn maze? Twitter that to your friends! Richardson Adventure Farm is one of few locations in the United States that has ORBiting, where you'll put yourself inside a giant, 11' ball, and then roll and bounce down the slope - it is awesome! Plan to spend the whole day, and likely you'll be back several times throughout the year. Picnic area, campfires, great food and fun for the whole family. (less) ... Read more
