An Autumn Extravaganza

 An Autumn Extravaganza

Spend the ideal fall weekend at Neltner’s Fall Fest

Crispy golden leaves, plump pumpkins littering a large field and a corn maze stretching out 3-acres of land can all be found this year at Neltner’s Farm’s 2023 Fall Fest. Admission also includes horse-drawn wagon rides, a model train display, a farm animal petting zoo, a kids corn play pit, pony rides, farm shops, homemade treats and drinks, music and more. 

Neltner’s Farm’s cozy celebration of the autumn season is located in Campbell County, at 6922 Four Mile Rd. in Melbourne. This year’s Fall Fest will last from September 30th through October 31st. Admission is free on weekends (9 a.m.-6 p.m.), while weekend admission (10 a.m.-6 p.m.) is $7 per person. Children aged three and under are free. 

Manager Kevin Neltner says that this year’s Fest offers a new look on Neltner’s beloved wagon rides. Expanded land to travel through and wooden statues of various animals are now a part of the experience.  

The farm has been in Kevin Neltner’s family for six generations.  

“We keep it family-oriented here,” Neltner says. “We try not to commercialize it and strive for that warm, familial feeling.”
