Snipes Farm and Education Center is a nonprofit farm and outdoor classroom in Morrisville, PA, farmed since 1767. It hosts seasonal events, camps and field trips, with wagon rides, scavenger hunts and farm animals.

The land has been farmed since 1767 and became a nonprofit education center in 2008, so a visit mixes a farm that sells its own produce with hands-on programs: wagon rides, scavenger hunts, time with the animals and a run of dated autumn events like an archery morning and a pie-tasting afternoon with pumpkin painting. Visitors for events park and check in at the big red barn.

Before you go
