Clark's Elioak Farm
Farm · Ellicott City · Maryland
Once home to figures from Baltimore's old Enchanted Forest storybook park, Clark's Elioak Farm folds those fairy tale statues into a working petting farm outside Ellicott City. Its fall pumpkin patch runs alongside the usual barnyard animals and play areas, open most of the year from late March into November.
