Things to do with your family on Monday October 12th

It feels like the whole world closes up shop on Thanksgiving Monday.  Our very own Christine Pilkington was on CTV Morning Live sharing some ideas on what to do with your family today.

Cheer on runners in the Granville Island Turkey Trot

A Vancouver tradition now, you can cheer on families as they do the Turkey Trot 10K race in support of the Vancouver Food Bank. Granville Island will be closed to traffic, so you will want to get there by bike, transit, or one of the little ferries.

Granville Island

Taves Family Farm Applebarn

Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Taves Family Applebarn is open today from 9am to 5:30pm. Enjoy a hayride, ride a pony, pick a pumpkin and explore the Corn Quest Maze. $28.50 for a family of four and includes most attractions.

333 Gladwin Rd, Abbotsford

Laity Pumpkin Patch

Located on 18 acres in Maple Ridge, the Laity Pumpkin Patch promises that you’ll find the perfect pumpkin. The $20 admission for a family of four allows you access to all of the farms attractions, including a corn maze, farm animals, and a frontier town. You can also snap that perfect photo for fall. Pumpkins are $2 and up, depending on size.

Bear Creek Pumpkin Express Train

Open from 10am – 4:30pm, rain or shine, the Pumpkin Express is a fun, and not too scary, ride through a decorated forest. Each child admission comes with a mini pumpkin to take home.
