Eliada’s Annual Fall Festival and Corn Maze
Elida Home Corn Maze
Alright, here’s the rundown — 52 picks for kid-friendly things to do the next 30 days across 17 venues.
Checked by a person. “All ages” on a ticket page just means no ID check. Everything here was vetted as a real kids-or-family outing: ball games, family shows, daytime music, parades. Starts by 7:30pm unless we checked the specific show. Missing one? Tell Ashe.
