Join Great Country Farms for an Unforgettable Dino-Mite Experience This Fall! Step back in time and witness dinosaurs roaming the pumpkin fields at Great Country Farms in partnership with Dino+Refuge - the renowned dinosaur conservation program focused on the rescue, research, and rehabilitation of prehistoric creatures. After numerous discussions, Farmer Andrew and the paleontologists at Dino+Refuge have concluded that dinosaurs love to eat pumpkins! Don’t miss your chance to see these giants feast during our exclusive Dino Fest, running select dates from October 31st through November 24th. This family-friendly adventure is packed with fun and discovery! Wander through the farm, but keep your eyes peeled-you might just spot a dinosaur’s footprint or hear rustling in the corn maze. What to Expect: Walk amongst life-sized, roaring dinosaurs as they explore the farm.
