Only a short drive from downtown St. Louis, your whole family will love Eckert’s Millstadt Fun Farm!
Visit the incredible creations in Uncle Aubrey’s Workshop, squeal with delight at Billy Bob’s pig races, ride the Deere Express through the orchard, then plunge into the 70-foot underground slide at Eckert’s Mining Company! Wagon rides to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch are a favorite for all. Visit Uncle Aubrey’s Workshop, or join us for a Haunted Hayride this September & October – if you dare! There’s so many activities for the kids see and do... you’ll wear the kids out... and Mom and Dad, too!!
Eckert’s latest attraction is the amazing pumpkin cannon, the Jack-O-Lobber. The Jack-O-Lobber fires a pumpkin a half-mile! Shows are every hour on the hour Friday through Sunday.
If you are craving mouth-watering country food like roasted sweet corn or chicken shish kababs be sure to stop by Bob’s N’Cobs Food Stand. Or for a manly meal fit for a farmer, visit our newest addition for country vittles... the Applewood Smokehouse. Of course, hotdogs, bratwurst, KettleKorn, homemade ice cream and funnel cakes are always on the menu too! Eckert’s is known far and wide for its great country entertainment. Watch a real live melodrama play out on the Grand Stage.
If you haven’t been out to our expanded Millstadt Fun Farm you just have to come and see how much fun it can be. We can’t wait to see you there!
