With the pleasant fall temperatures outside, it’s the ideal time to embark on some autumn escapades. Recently, Tampa Bay had the pleasure of visiting two fantastic destinations to soak up the seasonal spirit. First, they explored the Fox Squirrel Corn Maze, captured in slides 1-5. This annual tradition, now in its 12th year, is a perfect weekend activity and runs through the first weekend of November. Next, they ventured to St. Martin Farms in Plant City, as seen in slides 6-7. This charming farm not only offers the thrill of corn mazes but also welcomes visitors with a delightful array of animals and fresh produce in their market.
