Pigeon Roost Farm
I found this place on a website called Pumpkin Patches and More.org. Apart from the fact that the weather was perfect, Pigeon Roost Farm is a picture-postcard place about thirty minutes outside Columbus, where the land starts to get hilly and picturesque.
You can pay $4 a person for admission to the play area where there are goats and chickens, turkeys, bunnies, and (really) camels. There was tons for Will to do: pretend to drive the antique tractors, crawl through the hay fort, slide down the slide from the tree house, navigate the corn maze with dad, ring the bell on the model train, rock on the rocking horses. His very favorite (and the thing we finally had to drag him away from crying) was the rubber duck races where four little hand pumps pumped water down four sluice ways to float rubber ducks to the finish line. Very dramatic.
There was a little pick-your-own pumpkin patch and tons of lovely already harvested pumpkins to choose from. We got one of each and Will picked out a pie pumpkin so that dad could make him a pie. 
Dad told Will that if he could get this one to car he could take it home. Needless to say, it still lives at Pigeon Roost Farm.
The people there were very nice and we were there for THREE hours! Will had a blast and I think we'll make coming here a fall tradition.
