Spooky Stroll through Wheeler Historic Farm
FamilyEasyYear-round
Experience a working 19th-century farmstead that comes alive in October with pumpkin patches, wagon rides, and a festive family atmosphere.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book your wagon ride and maze tickets online in advance, as popular October weekend slots sell out early.
- 2Wear closed-toe shoes or boots that you don't mind getting dusty, as the farm paths are primarily dirt and woodchips.
- 3Allocate at least two hours to visit the historic house, pet the farm animals, and complete the seasonal pumpkin patch walk.
- 4Utilize the large free parking lot on the north side of the property, which remains accessible even during peak festival hours.
- 5Bring a camera or fully charged phone for the numerous vintage-themed photo backdrops and rustic farm equipment displays.
- 6Pack a light jacket for late afternoon visits, as temperatures drop rapidly in the Salt Lake Valley once the sun dips behind the Oquirrh Mountains.
