The Halloween version of the Paris Fair: Colton’s Family Fun Farm!

FROM A KID’S VIEW

With Stephen L

Colton’s Fun Farm is the more Halloween-festive version of the Paris Fair but smaller and with many more games and activities From the spooky large corn maze to the challenging ball toss, you’re sure in for a treat coming to the farm. There’s even a pumpkin patch, so if it’s on your bucket list to visit one get ready to squash some goals. Here are some highlights from my visit to this fun farm.

Challengingly Cool Corn Maze

Here’s a challenge for you: try to say the title out loud three times without fumbling! Anyway, back to the farm. At the back of the establishment, there was a large corn maze that dared visitors to enter to navigate the twists and turns. Around the labyrinth, there are checkpoints scattered around at the dead ends for you to mark on the card you’ve been given at the entrance It’s a bit hard to find all of them but still fun because at the end you could see how many checkpoints you’ve found and maybe compare it with your friends if they have gone as well. Spooktacular!

Colton’s Fun Farm is located at 109 Jerseyville Road in Brantford. It is officially closed for the season so if Stephen’s column interests you, make sure to mark this on your must-see Halloween experience list for 2024!

Ball Toss with Pumpkins and Ghouls

If you asked me for my opinion on which one is harder to beat comparing the maze and the ball toss activity, I could not get back to you because they are both equally hard! This activity has you tossing balls at the different faces on the walls of playful pumpkins and goofy ghouls. My high score is 4, can you beat that? I haven’t ever played a game like this before, so this past October has definitely been a breath of fresh scare- uhh I mean air!

Haunted Halloween Art Setups

There were some wonderful art setups around the entire event of cutouts of funny looking phantoms, spooky skeletons posing, and other sinister characters.
