Fall is that special time of
the year filled with opportunities to create wonderful memories. You
are invited to visit May-Lan Tree Plantation and enjoy making new
memories.
“Have A Ball In
The Fall” sums up the many, and varied, activities you will
participate in during your visit.
Everyone begins
with a hayride which travels around the farm and is guided by the
Broomhead people. Along the trail you will enjoy the antics of the
Pumpkinheads as they go about their chores and get into all sorts of
mischief! Be sure and shout a big “Hello!!” to Holly the donkey as she
keeps tabs on her goat friends.
Upon completion
of the hayride, you will venture through the maze. We urge you to let
the kids lead, that way if you get lost you can blame them. Then
follow the path to the bat cave.
Before entering you will want to go
over information presented at the learning center which explains just
how amazing and beneficial bats truly are. Next you will crawl through “Bugsy”, the 40 ft. caterpillar. At “Alligator Alley”, you will stop
at the learning center and learn about gators in South Carolina. You
will need to cross the swamp on one of several bridges without falling
into the quick sand and waking the gators!!
Next is the most
popular “Barnyard Buddies” Area
where you will see, and learn about, chickens, ducks, turkeys,
rabbits, peafowl, and hogs. Bobby, the 600 lb. hog is a site, and if
you are lucky, you might see him hit the ol’ water hole!
And everyone gets
to enter the pumpkin area, where after browsing
through hundreds of pie pumpkins, you may select one of your very own
to carry home.
If you like, you can visit our General Store and purchase a huge
jack-o-lantern pumpkin, gourds, squash, mums, corn stalks and other
fall decorating stuff.
Take your lunch
to the picnic area and let the kids go wild in the picnic field, while
you relax at a picnic table. Hand wash facilities are available, along
with port-o-lets. We can help get your food to the field if needed.
Picture
opportunities abound, so do not forget the camera. If you do forget,
remember the General Store carries a supply, then you will not miss
that Kodak moment. You will also want to check the General Store for
special treats for your kids or yourself.
Our farm is
all-inclusive, so your $6.75 ticket allows you to enjoy everything as
part of the hayride. Full ticket price is necessary to go through
any of the hayride stations.
Hayrides are
offered during October, Monday-Friday mornings, by reservation only.
There is a $100 minimum. Refer to
