Kinsch’s Annual Autumn Fun Fest In Full Swing

The 6th annual Autumn Fun Fest has officially kicked off at , 301 W. Johnson Street. 

The fest has expanded its activity and entertainment offerings in recent years, where kids of all ages, especially crawlers and toddlers,
can come to enjoy a number of fall attractions.

“For crawlers, we have a tyke tent with crawling mats and toys, and a barnyard maze that the toddlers can ride through,” said Diane Kinsch, events coordinator.

There also are inflatables for kids to play on, tiny tyke play equipment and hands on crafts aimed at the five and under crowd.

“When our children were younger, we had a hard time finding enriching activities for them to enjoy, and since we personally love
fall, we decided to make sure we serve the ‘five and under niche’,” Kinsch said.

General admission, which is $7 for children six months to 12 years, and $2 for kids 13 and up, includes a wide range of activities. 

They include the "Crazy! Corn Maze," a game tent, feeding zoo and pumpkin patch.

A two-story monster slide, a haunted forest and picnic areas for families also are available.

For an additional cost, children and families can take advantage of the Haunted Forest Train Ride, pumpkin decorating, a snack bar and retail gift and garden items.

“All of what we offer really does promote family fun,” Kinsch said.  

An additional entertainment schedule, which can be found on Kinsch’s website.

“People are surprised how long they actually stay here, they think they might come for a couple of hours but end up staying all afternoon,” Kinsch said. “It’s a really nice relaxing type of festival.”

The Autumn Fall Fest is open to the public Fridays through Sundays through October 30, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and open to groups seven days a week.
