Barton Hill Farms in Bastrop, Texas

September 2, 2021 by Rebecca Darling

Spread the love
Barton Hill Farms in Bastrop, Texas is a great place to experience fall fun with the family.  We have been going out to Barton Hill Farms for a couple of year now.  Here’s all you can do:
Barton Hill Farms
Here in Central Texas, Barton Hill Farms in Bastrop, TX is the perfect place to have the quintessential harvest experience!  With outdoor games, pumpkin patches, play areas, big swings and the best corn maze around, Barton Hill Farms is a fun place to spend an afternoon with the family.  I want to tell you all about why you need to plan a Saturday or Sunday to go this season.
Because let’s face it,  we don’t get a traditional fall.  In fact, we are down right HOT most of September & October.  So it is really great that we can still experience some fall fun with Barton Hill Farms so close to us.  We have visited the Farms the past 5 years and plan on doing so again this year.  Here is some of the fun you can experience.
A fun fall family experience at Barton Hill Farms in Bastrop, TX

Barton Hill Farms: The History

Barton-Hill-Farms-boatBarton Hill Farms is dedicated to bring outdoor fun and educational events to families in Central Texas.  The history of the farm itself is fascinating, dating back to the 1830s, when it was first settled by Josiah Wilbarger, a survivor of an Indian ambush that left him scalped.  I loved reading about the history of the land and area on the historical signs that are peppered throughout the farm.

Barton Hill Farms: Corn Maze

The Barton Hill Farms’ corn maze is ALWAYS a fun themed maze! This year, it is “Off to See the Wizard”.  I can’t wait to see an overhead shot of that one!

The maze is my family’s favorite thing to do here, as it is a challenge. There are different themed sets of clues to help you through the maze.  I had never worked my way through a corn maze before when we tried it a years ago and was overwhelmed with how tall all the stalks were.  It was extremely well done, with just the perfect amount of difficulty to make it challenging.  We never got lost and we never wanted to give up.  It really was a great family time.

And for the younger ones, there is the Spookly the Square Pumpkin Maze.  There is a story behind the square pumpkin,making this maze totally fun for kids!

Barton Hill Farms: Outdoor Fun

The best part about Barton Hill Farms, other than the corn maze, is the relaxing atmosphere.  There are so many fun things to do at the Farm as a family that you can take your time with and really enjoy yourselves.  Throw washers, play in the massive pirate ship/sand box, run around like frontier men in the Fort, hula hoop, and take tons and tons of pictures.  Picnic tables are scattered around with great big shade awnings to sit under.  There are a few drink & food tents as well.

There really is a ton of outdoor fun for kids.  Three different trains, giant tube slides, Pony Hops, giant jumping pillows, giant Jenga and so much more.

Barton Hill Farms: Pumpkin Patch

There is also has a great pumpkin patch to select the perfect one to carve or decorate for Halloween. There are also so many great spots for photos!

Live Music

We loved the fact that we could sit as parents and enjoy live music with a cold drink and warm kettle korn.  The farm has live music all afternoon long, which makes for a fun and relaxed atmosphere.  After getting their fill of popcorn, the kids ran off to swing some more and allowed us parents to relax and enjoy the farm.  It was wonderful.
