Until mankind first stepped outside in 1934, nature was thought to be a fanciful myth, like yogourt or the clutch hitter. Spend a few hours frolicking through the fresh air of truth with today's Groupon: for $12, you get one season pass valid from August 13 to October 23 to the family farm and fall festival at Pumpkin Hollow in Lumsden (a $25 value).

Pumpkin Hollow enchants children and adults with a heap of autumn activities and attractions on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Farm-goers can train for the Pastoral Olympics by intuiting their way through the corn maze or attempting to master the hay-bale jump. Hay rides and cow-train rides offer a leisurely mode of taking in the farm's sites and sounds, and a petting farm allows humans to introduce themselves and pose existential riddles to livestock. Visitors stop at the country store to peruse the selection of available pumpkins, gourds, and fall-themed home decor or sate quacking appetites at The Watering Hole, a bright, spacious eatery, which features pumpkin-infused desserts and hot apple cider (not included with this Groupon). In addition to live entertainment every Sunday on the hoedown stage, families can enjoy the company of Penelope the Pumpkin Princess, who regales all with her earth-toned charms on selected dates during September and October, or soar through the skies while frolicking on The Jumping Pillow.
