Beyond the maze, Fall Fest includes family-friendly attractions, alpaca viewing along the fence line, a pumpkin patch, Spookley the Square Pumpkin's Storybook Trail, The Farm Store, the Farmyard Food Truck, and Big Al's Apple Cider Slushies topped with homemade cider donuts. Tickets must be purchased in advance for a specific start time, and everyone on grounds needs a ticket (no charge for children 23 months and younger). Last entry is two hours before close. The farm is cashless except for the alpaca feed machines, which take quarters. Alpaca Acres is located at 1557 Sanders Lane in Oakland. Buy Fall Fest Tickets
