Iron Kettle Farm — Attraction in Town of Candor

This is the last year I will go there, it is to commercial now, every prepared food you by, like hot food is cash only, and tickets for rides are cash only. It used to be a family fun place, now it just seems like its money oriented. There produce pricing is not consistent either, a person can get a bushel of squash for 12.00, and you can mix the squash, but the apples that are the same price, you can't mix those to make a bushel. Now I'm not talking about picking one apple of every variety, I'm talking about they only had half a bushel left of one variety and I want to full up the rest of the bushel with another apple that cost the same for the 19.00 so I didn't have to pay for 2 half bushels which is a higher price. And after I purchased my produce have a huge cart full, there was no one to help me out, didn't even offer and as a result while exiting the store the wagon ran into my feet because of the decline of the door way into the parking lot. And I yelled loudly when this happened asking for help and the only one that helped get the wagon of my leg was another customer. I am not seriously hurt just a bruis . But if that was an older person they may have got a broken bone. My family, and there's a lot of us, won't be going to Iron...

It's ok, but it's really more the tradition of going and the hype people make it to be then actually being that great. They have a ton of stuff but everything is WAY over priced. We go every year , the kids enjoy looking at the "pumpkin people" (which is free) , the animals (which is free, except some quarters to feed them) and we usually do the corn maze and "spook barn". As mom I always make sure to get the traditional "watch me grow" picture. It's always super crowded. The line for tickets is always long. You need to know exactly how many tickets you need as you don't want to buy any extra at $1.25 per ticket. If you have the ability to tell your kids no and not do everything there is there and just pick 1 or 2 "pay" things then just enjoy the free things , as long as you don't mind crowds (and usually some mud) then it's a fun family place. Make sure you go between meals so you don't have to eat there and if you plan on eating there take cash and a lot of it. Also don't fall into the pumpkin farm trap. *If you get a *4 pumpkin at some place like Aldi BEFORE you go to the pumpkin farm the kids won't beg you for $12+ pumpkin (that's the same size) at the...

This is a wonderful place to celebrate the fall season. There is a lot to do and see. It's a working farm, so there are many different farm animals you can feed and sometimes pet. They grow corn and pumpkins behind the main buildings and the hay ride takes you through the back of the farm to see the pumpkin patches. They setup a lot of fun activities during the fall, such as haunted houses, corn maze, obstacle course, several playground areas, and pumpkin sling throwing. All of these things are paid through buying tickets. Currently, in 2023, tickets are $1.25 each or $12 for 12. Wristbands for unlimited access are $15 when available and are the best choice for kids 13 and under. They post prices for each activity at the ticket booth so you can do the math based on what each person wants to do. They have many locations for food/snacks, and they have a country store in the main building. For a family of 4, I would expect to spend $100 if you limit the visit to rides and food. If you are buying pumpkins and other items in the country store, their prices are in the high end in the area. We go every year and love it for the experience. Its a family...
