We had a great time when we visited this pumpkin patch a number of years ago when our children were smaller and decided to go again this year while visiting from out of the area. What a disappointment! All of the rides or activities cost 1-2 tokens which cost $3 each. I think it is crazy to pay $6 for my kid to ride a pony on a hot-walker or $3 to shoot 5 arrows at a target. The corn maze was something like $8 per person. Funnel cakes were $8 and cotton candy was $4. I'm not sure how much pumpkins cost per pound as we had not planned to buy any. For our family of 5 to come out and spend a few hours it would easily have been $60-80. I understand it is a business but there are many many other pumpkin patch farms we have been to that do not make the experience cost prohibitive to...

Next year I will not waste the money on tickets plus all the extras and drive to the valley where I can go in for free and pay for just the things I want...

This place used to be great. There was plenty of fun activities, the animals were happy and kept on clean facilities and it still had the feel and charm of a working farm. This year that charm is missing. I feel like this is a large food court next to a maze with as many money making attractions squeezed in as possible. The problem with this is that the animals on the farm seemed miserable and stressed. I repeatedly noticed the sheep and goats becoming aggravated (as I would be if hundreds of people pulled on me all day). It doesn't even look like there's a pumpkin patch (not that I noticed) just a pumpkin market. The lines are miserable to the point of taking the...
