Sweet Valley Ranch uniquely features exciting seasonal adventures for the whole family. Yearly seasonal events at the ranch include Dinosaur World, where you are transported back to prehistoric times. Guests will explore over 35 life size dinosaurs with the majority being animatronic. The tour also includes a prehistoric museum, and your children can enjoy a fossil dig to top off fun exploration.
The fun continues each fall with a 10-acre Corn Maze that includes a pumpkin patch. Stick around for nightfall for the thrill of our Backwoods Terror Ranch where our farm is transformed into a frightening adventure sure to elicit some screams! Backwoods Terror Ranch is one of the largest outdoor Haunted events in the area. It will take guests over an hour to navigate 6 terrifying mazes including a ¼ acre cemetery.
Wrapping up each year, you must join us for our holiday celebration with our Festival of Lights. The farm is lit up from beginning to end and is a true winter wonderland. Santa has even been known to stop in for a visit.
Each of our events features our farm animals to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience that people of all ages can enjoy.
