Outdoor Adventures with Chelsea: Tupelo Buffalo Park Pumpkin Patch
SUMMARY: October has arrived, bringing with it the excitement of Halloween and the annual pumpkin patch at Tupelo Buffalo Park. During a visit, Chelsea and her son Bo explored the lively patch, guided by lead zookeeper SE Robertson. The event offers numerous games and activities for children, including slides that Bo enjoyed. Parents appreciate the chance to relax while kids have fun, and each family receives a free pumpkin. There’s also a petting zoo, although Bo was hesitant around certain animals. The park accommodates visits from school and church groups and provides activities even in rainy weather.
