Our annual PUMPKINFEST is the way Gammondale Farm celebrates the magic of Autumn. Sitting at the base of Candy Mountain in the Slate River Valley, our farm illuminates with warm colour and creates a beautiful backdrop for our seasonal outdoor activities and events. Gammondale’s Forest Maze on the mountain is a beautiful place to explore.
Although we love animals, in consideration of all our guests, please do not bring your pets to PUMPKINFEST.
For 28 years, Gammondale Farm has been a Thunder Bay family tradition. There are tons of outdoor attractions including Picking out an Amazing Pumpkin, Canada’s Biggest Pumpkin Catapult, Pumpkin Train and Pumpkin Slingshot. Get up close and personal with Northwestern Ontario’s biggest horse, Ike, one of our Gentle giant Percheron horses. Other attractions included in the price of admission are the Bronco Train, Corn Cannon, “BOO” Barn, Farm Animals, Monster Forest Maze, Barnyard Maze, Hayfield Labyrinth, Trike Trails, Duck Races, Tire’d Horses, Straw Mountain and “Needle in a Haystack” Photo Contest.
Gammondale Farm is the only place where you can take a ride on a gentle giant Percheron work horse for $5.00.
It’s great family friendly fun!
PUMPKINFEST runs for 6 weekends starting on September 24, 2022.
