Beggs Berry World — Local services in Benton

We drove about 30 minutes to attend the Strawberry Festival, hoping for a fun family outing. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. When we arrived, we were told there was a $5 entry fee per person, something that was not mentioned on the event flyer or Facebook page. We had to leave to get cash and return, only to find there was actually very little for the kids to do once inside.

To make matters worse, every kids activity, including the bounce houses, required an additional fee. It felt more like a money grab than a family friendly event. We ended up leaving almost immediately and sadly won’t be returning for any future events.

Edit in response to owner: Calling your customers “ignorant” and making smart remarks is a great way to ensure they never return. This had nothing to do with not being able to afford the cost, it was about the lack of transparency on the event page and the underwhelming size of the event itself.

It was not worth the trip in my honest opinion. Had the details been advertised, expectations could have been managed...

We found this place on a road trip last year and made it a point to save the address and make it back this year. Well, they moved locations and had a very poorly marked sign on the old building saying that they had moved. Couldn’t read it. Called up the store and the girl who answered the phone had a bit of an attitude like we should have known that they moved and to where. This same girl was “talking shop” a few feet away from us with one of the owners and it’s just very unprofessional and kills the atmosphere and experience.

The ice cream was good, but not quite as good...

Bought fresh squash and the very much advertised Beggs Strawberries. The squash was great but the Strawberries were a huge disappointment. They were bitter/sour/tart. Even when loaded with sugar they did not taste good. We were very disappointed. Went to Schnucks and bought Driscoll Strawberries at $3.99 for a 2# carton and they were awesome! Not to mention much less than the bitter tasting ones from Beggs($20...
