Fall can get expensive for families because there's so much fun that happens during the cooler weather. From football to haunted houses, the fair, and Halloween, it can add up, but that doesn't mean you should have to miss out.

What Else Does Old MacDonald's Offer?

Old MacDonald's offers children's birthday parties; you can contact them for more information by contacting them at (806) 283-8965. Additionally, the farm has several animals to interact with, pet, and ride (certainly depending on the animal, I wouldn't try it with an emu). They will likely also have concessions available, but you may want to bring water bottles and sunscreen to keep the kiddos cool and unsunburnt.
