Prairie Gardens

Every year, Prairie Gardens cultivates mass appeal

Prairie Gardens & Adventure Farm is an agritourism operation located 25 km north of Edmonton that has been taking advantage of this trend as a way to educate visitors on farm life and food production. As a working family farm, Prairie Gardens naturally grows 35 acres of produce intended for family dinner tables. The “adventure” refers to the available activities, events, and festivals that the farm offers throughout the year. Its goal is to connect visitors back to the land, to each other, and to a simpler time through providing local, healthy food and a place to explore, enjoy, and have good old-fashioned family fun.

The farm also offers field trips, summer day camps, and out-of-school care programs to roughly 10,000 children and students each year, providing them with specialized programs for guided and self-guided farm tours that educate patrons on things like the seasonality of vegetable production, and the social and economic realities of local farming and food production.

As far as popular kid-friendly attractions go, children of all ages (and parents) can go for a ride on the trackless train which

takes passengers around the farm, get lost in the living puzzle that is the one acre Mindbender Corn Maze, or try the smaller sunflower, bale, or rope mazes. Kids can also explore the Ghost Town of Boo’n Accord which features a haunted farm house and the Lost Lemon Gem Mine where kids can pan for real gems and fool’s gold.
