I love that the fall festival is fun and has nothing spooky that would scare small children. Make sure you also check out the Kiddie zone, farm chores, fun tunnels, petting zoo, swings and carnival style games. This 20 minute wagon ride is pulled by an antique tractor and leads you through an interactive adventure where you will get to see cowboys, aliens, super heroes and more. If anything you want to make sure you leave time to ride on Cox Farms famous hayride. This 15 minute walking trail loops through the woods to experience an interactive natural walk with a fairy-tale twist. The Imaginature Trail is also pretty cool. In this corny adventure you will find all kinds of surprises around every turn such as fun house style optical illusions, silly scenes and fun obstacles. Essentially you can’t get lost because you are guided down a path. I had never been in a walk through corn maze before. One of our favorite attractions was the Cornundrum where you can venture through acres of fun hidden in a self guided corn maze. Escape the grasps of the giant by fleeing down the slide. You are greeted by a hen with her golden egg. The tale continues as you climb the stair that lead to the top is the barn. Beautifully painted wooden cutouts depict the story. I love how you walk through a story book that tells the tale of Jack and The Bean Stalk. Last but not least my favorite slide, the Barn slide. Whether you are a prince or princess, Cox Farms Castle Slide is Magical. The mountain slide is Coxs first slide, while its an oldie it’s definitely a goodie. where you can pan for your very own treasure! This slide is located right next to Cox’s Mining Co. The mining slide is a tunnel slide that goes underground. The Dino slide is Cox Farms biggest slide! 6 lanes wide and 150 feet long, this is a dinosaur of a slide! The volcano slide looks like a giant Volcano, rumbles and makes noises. The slides are strategically placed on natural hills on the property and each slide has something unique and special about it. Cox farm has a whopping total of six slides volcano slide, Dino slide, Minor slide, Mountain slide, Castle slide and Barn slide. Let’s take a tour of the farm so I can share our experience. What started off as simple hayrides to pick pumpkins, has now become one of the largest fall festivals in Virginia. Cox Farm transforms into an enormous playground every autumn offering plenty of activities featuring a massive pumpkin patch, petting zoo, slides, games, as well as festive food and live entertainment. Cox Farms has been hosting Fall Festivals since the late 1970’s.

Cox has the largest fall festival that I’ve been to in the DMV area. Young and old will have a ball venturing through activities on this 90 acres farm. And at least Harrison Ford shows signs of life, for a change.Trust me when I say, you don’t want to miss this seasons Fall Festival at Cox Farms. But kudos to whoever cast seasoned pros Clancy Brown and Keith Carradine.
Cowboys and aliens parental guide movie#
If one wanted to point out the beginning of the end of Hollywood, it would be when B movies began to be made with A budgets.(For further proof that the movie world has gone to the dogs, there is Alex Cox who has to pass the hat around on Kickstarter to get his cool-sounding adaptation of "Bill, the Galactic Hero" made.) Exhibit A is "Cowboys & Aliens" which is a B movie idea if there ever was one, made with a blockbuster mentality that does not get either genre right.(By contrast, the Doctor Who episode "A Town Called Mercy," a jelly baby western, nails it, along with pointed insights into the possibility of redemption.) It does not help the banal story and slack pacing that Daniel Craig is miscast, his brooding intensity doing little for a movie so desperately in need of a sense of humor. And just as Percy's father(Harrison Ford) shows up for a quiet conference, the light show starts. Not only does Sheriff Taggart(Keith Carradine) take Percy into custody but also Jake who it turns out is wanted for everything shy of cow tipping. Things do not improve once he gets back to town as Percy Dolarhyde(Paul Dano) shoots up the place, accidentally hitting a deputy.

"Cowboys & Aliens" starts with Jake Lonergan(Daniel Craig) waking with the grandmother of all hangovers in the middle of nowhere with no memory of who he is but with a weird metal bracelet that he cannot remove from his arm.
