Prairie Moon Farm

This weekend promises to be extra special as the farm hosts 79 visiting vendors, adding to the variety of activities. Guests can browse an impressive selection of pumpkins, gourds, and fall décor, or explore the U-pick pumpkin field to find the perfect pumpkin. The farm also offers the Prairie Moon Express, an all-ages train ride for $4, and a bubble party machine where kids (and kids at heart) can get covered in bubbles for $2.

Reindeer Tour

But perhaps the most unique attraction is the reindeer tour, where visitors can meet Dash, Grizz, and Poppy—three delightful reindeer with distinct personalities. These gentle creatures are sure to steal the show in November and December. The reindeer tours are $10 for adults and $8 for kids, providing an opportunity to learn more about these beautiful animals in an interactive setting.
