Gilchrist Farm
Santa Clarita, CA
P
By Punita Patel
A working family farm up Bouquet Canyon with a petting zoo, pony rides, gem mining, a farm train and a giant slide that make it a hit with younger kids. It really shines in fall when the Harvest Festival and pumpkin patch open with free admission and parking. Activities are pay-per-ride, so bring cash or a card and check the calendar since core hours are weekends.
Varies (fall festival free admission; activities extra)
