There are only a few days left to attend this year’s fall festival at Cox Farms in Centreville, Virginia, where family-friendly entertainment and attractions have been drawing people for decades. 

“We love the atmosphere, we love the staff … I think it’s just so homey,” said Diva Mohammadullah, of Reston, who was joined this year by her daughter Ridham, a niece and a young neighbor.

“We come here every year. Ridham has been here since she was in my belly,” said Mohammadullah. “And I’ve been here [since] I was still four,” Ridham added.

The group spent the day at Cox Farms taking in the attractions: the animals, food, slides, hay rides and the Imagination Trail. And they picked a day last week with gorgeous, warm weather.

There’s a lot to do besides buying pumpkins or apple cider doughnuts made on the premises. There are hayrides, animals (lots of goats to pet), a corn maze called Cornundrum, and lots of slides. 

And don’t forget the freshly popped kettle corn. The Cox Farms Fall Festival runs through Tuesday, Nov. 5.
