Smith Family Farms

It’s an hour-long drive from San Francisco, but it’s worth the ride for this barnyard hoedown. There’s live music and shows on the weekend, as well as games and kids’ activities. (Check out the lush flower and produce gardens, where you can gather a bouquet of fresh herbs, and the buzzing observation beehive.) The farm’s four-acre corn maze is festive and fit for small kids, as is the hay bale maze nearby. Hitch a hayride to the pumpkin patch, where your pumpkin is complimentary with admission.
