The Adventure Farm in St. Thomas & Aylmer's Backyard
Families drive from all over Ontario to visit Clovermead. If you're in St. Thomas or Aylmer, you just have to drive up the road.
Minutes from Home
We're on Imperial Road just north of Aylmer — about 15 minutes from St. Thomas along Talbot Line. No highway, no city parking, no all-day excursion planning.
65+ Attractions, One Price
Ziplines, jumping pillows, pedal karts, wagon rides, the A-Mazing Corn Maze, the Splashpad and more — everything is included with admission.

Family Fun in Elgin County, All in One Place
Whether you've got toddlers or teens, there's a full day here. A few local favourites:
A-Mazing Corn Maze
The corn maze St. Thomas and Aylmer families get lost in every fall — bee sure to read the 10 Corn-mandments first.
Farm Animals & Animal Barn
Say hi to the goats and chickens — the petting zoo experience St. Thomas kids beg to come back for.
Playgrounds, Ziplines & Jumping Pillows
Climbers, slides, ziplines and giant bouncing pillows — big-kid energy burners everywhere you look. Adults are allowed to bounce too.
The Splashpad
The best way to cool off on a hot Elgin County summer day. Bring towels!
Gem Mining & Bee Discovery
Sift for treasure, then listen, smell and feel the warmth of a live working beehive. Nowhere else near St. Thomas has this.
Fall
Wagon Rides & Bee Train
Classic farm fun all day — and every fall, the closest pumpkin patch to St. Thomas dresses up for the Pumpkin Festival.
Fall Tradition: The Pumpkin Festival
Every autumn the farm becomes our famous Pumpkin Festival — the pumpkin patch and corn maze St. Thomas, Aylmer and Port Stanley families make an annual tradition. Pumpkin Cannon Show included.
The Aylmer Farm Families Have Made a Tradition
Ask anyone in Elgin County to name an Aylmer farm worth a visit, and you'll hear our name. Clovermead started as a working apiary, and our 24 million bees still make the honey you'll taste in the Honey Shop — open year-round as Aylmer's sweetest market stop for raw honey, creamed honey, preserves and gifts, even in the middle of winter when the Adventure Farm is closed.
Looking for things to do in St. Thomas with kids, or hunting for farms near St. Thomas, Ontario that are actually worth the drive? Here's the honest pitch: everything at Clovermead is built for families doing a farm day together. One admission covers all 65+ attractions, the whole property is walkable with little legs, and there's shade, food and washrooms where you need them. It's why local families have made us a tradition — and why we've earned a 4.8-star rating across more than 2,600 Google reviews.
