FUN FOR ALL AGES
Blackberry Farm Fun
AURORA–Blackberry Farm, with its variety of attractions and amenities, quite literally offers a leisurely stroll down memory lane – both historically speaking and for generations of families who’ve made visiting the park an annual tradition.
The Fox Valley Park District’s history museum, Blackberry demonstrates the re-creation of pioneer life through educational experiences and hands-on fun. With unlimited rides on the replica steam-engine train, hay wagon, paddle boats, carousel and ponies included in the admission price, Blackberry presents parents the opportunity to relive their childhood memories through the eyes and sounds of their little ones today.
A seasonal destination, Blackberry also steps center stage during the summer months that feature Live & Uncorked – a seven-concert series that spans different music genres to appeal to all tastes. The fall season bursts with color during Pumpkin Weekends and winter begins with Blackberry aglow in twinkling lights and festive music, as families hop aboard the Holiday Express, sip hot chocolate and whisper their secret lists to Santa.
On average, Blackberry welcomes around 120,000 visitors per season, which this year runs from May 1 to Sept. 30, before seasonal, weekend events begin in October.
