Last weekend my oldest daughter, Adrienne, took my youngest son, Matt, to Belvedere Plantation, a beautiful 645-acre working farm in Fredericksburg, Virginia. They had a great time and came back with some wonderful pictures. I thought I'd share it all here!

Belvedere Plantation offers so many different outdoor attractions that children (and adults) of every age can find something they'll enjoy! They have a corn maze, a barnyard where kids can see different farm animals, pig races, a giant 100-foot slide for people over 5 years old, zip lines for kids of every height, a barn filled with hay and rope swings, and a pedal tractor race course (think go-carts only you power them by pedaling)! And if that isn't enough, there's the pumpkin patch, which is a short hayride away from the where all the other attractions are. Everything at Belvedere Plantation is very family friendly and the staff is wonderful! The Fall Festival ends November 2nd so I would suggest getting there soon!


Belvedere Plantation is about 7 miles SE of Fredericksburg and very easy to find off Exit 126 on I-95. The farm offers free parking and general admission is $14 for anyone over the age of 2 and $12 for seniors (and you could spend an entire day at the farm, so it really is a deal compared to some other family outings). They also have military discounts and they offer coupons, which anyone can sign up for online. For more information go to www.belvedereplantation.com!
Irene-they must have had a blast. Perfect fall weather and the smell of hay! Thanks for letting us in on a great spot to go.
