This post documents my experience on October 9, 2022 at the Columbus location. I feel that other Oakland Nursery locations would be similar.

Out at Oakland Nursery

…through the entrance…

…and passed the pumpkin display…

…the Fall Festival was going on!

Families lined up for tickets…

…which could be used for the jump house…

…pumpkin painting…

…treats like snow cones, caramel apples and cotton candy…

…(popcorn was free)…

…and children’s prize games, including Connect 4, Plinko…

…pumpkin bowling…

…and the ring toss.

Animal lovers could find delight in the Jungle Island Zoo area…

…where they could feed and/or pet the various farm animals…

…get up close with a hissing cockroach and snake at the Wild Hearts African Farms table…

…or crowd around the Woody’s Barnyard Racers track…

…for some good ole pig racing.

And there was still more to see and do…

…including a forest walk…

…filled with giant roosters and flying pigs…

…a tractor ride…

…to take you by playful Halloween decor…

…and some live entertainment (Grello)…

…set up conveniently near a food truck (Schmidt’s)…

…so that you could grab yourself a knockwurst…

…and enjoy the music as you ate.
