With free tram tours, mazes and more, Amador Flower Farm hosts its annual Fall Fun Days Festival, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30. Admission and parking are free.
During Fun Days, the farm starts its fall holiday season with a hay bale maze for little kids, a corn maze for kids of all ages and an amazing assortment of pumpkins. Youngsters also will enjoy visiting with the farm's baby animals.

Nestled in Amador wine country, the flower farm is a destination nursery, featuring more than 1,200 varieties of daylilies. Growing in long rows, the flowers fill vast fields over the rolling hillsides and around massive valley oaks.
Demonstration gardens feature many other kinds of plants suited to Sacramento and foothill landscapes. Picnic areas invite visitors to relax and enjoy the wine country vistas.
