It was cute! I went on Saturday October 5th. It was pretty small, but I understand that this event hasn't been going for very long (only a couple of years if I remember correctly). It was nice to walk around, but there wasn't much to do.
The hot air balloon line forms pretty much the moment the clock hits 4 pm, and it is LONG. The truck was still driving around to get to where they need to everything set up, and there were people literally following it. I had originally planned on taking a ride on it but decided against it since the line was so long they weren't going let it rise very high and airtime would have been extremely short.
I was under the impression that helicopter rides would be available that day since the wind/weather was good enough for it, but the helicopter never arrived. I was disappointed, but it is what it is.
The petting zoo area was very small, but the animals were under tents that provided them massive shade coverage.
If you check their website you'll see what food trucks will be available that day. My partner and I had Greek for lunch, and my partner had ice cream afterwards. Both were really good. My partner also went and had himself an iced coffee which he said was also good.
Overall it was a fun couple of hours of walking around and enjoying the atmosphere. The photo-ops were cute, and the land itself was very pretty. Hopefully the festival will grow and have more things to do in the future, but...
Read moreReally enjoyed our experience as a family of 5, with 3 kids under 4. The kids had plenty to do with painting pumpkins, the sensory corn play area, tire swings and slide, floating pumpkin area, petting zoo, corn maze. Things we did not do but that were available were U-pick pumpkins and sunflowers, hayride around the vast grounds, pony rides for $10, pumpkin bowling. We did get ice cream and there were food trucks available. Boiled peanuts were awesome! Music was great by the live bluegrass band. In my opinion with young kids this is easy entertainment for $20 per adult. The petting zoo had food available for $3 so the kids could feed the super friendly animals (all in the shade too.) Only things I would recommend changing… it was getting crowded enough that exiting and entering along the same narrow road was a bit of a hazard. Also, I saw a younger (maybe teenage) person high tailing it across the grounds on a four wheeler and with young kids around I would advise someone to let the young lady know to go slower. Overall...
Read moreOverall this was a decent experience. It is pretty small in comparison to other options. Children under 6 were free which is great because there isn’t much to do. There are two tire swings, a corn sensory area, and one slide. Food trucks are available. I would not recommend the Mexican option. It took 45 minutes for two tacos which were extremely underwhelming. The Greek food truck (Athena) was great. Paying $20 to get in plus all the extra charges add up quickly. $10 for a short pony ride, $3 for a small cup of feed for the petting zoo (they have about 5 or less animals total). The helicopter rides are $35 per person and although the “hot air balloon” is included, the guy arrived late (5pm) and the list to ride was extremely long. There were 3 pages full of names to ride and the remax lady stated they would only get through page one at best. The ride ended up being about 1 minute long and it didn’t go past the smallest trees. For the money spent, I would...
