We go to this farm every year, probably 3 years in a raw :) It a bit dirty. Also go earlier in a day as it tends to get pretty crowded later on. One of us usually trying to stay in line for the train ride, while the other person will visit sheeps with the kids. I don't know why can they get a couple of trains going. Otherwise, it is regular pumpkin farm with lot to do and lot to see.
Advice--don't go on the weekends! It is literally a zoo with police directing traffic all weekend long around the entrance/exit. Bring cups/baggies and quarters for corn to feed the animals. There is a nice petting zoo for the little ones and enough activities to keep the kids occupied for an afternoon. The hot apple cider and doughnuts are killer.
Definitely a lot to do here, but it is expensive. Plenty of animals and inflatables to keep the kids busy. Very, very crowded on October weekends. If you can go during the week, it is less expensive and less crowded.
This place is always fun but can be very crowded at times! There is so much to do & see for all the kids! But make sure to bring your wallets cuz it can get pricey! Other than that, it is a good place to stop once a year!
packed constantly, small inflatables are disgusting. Their two giant slides are newer and somewhat cleaner, but these items are kept out day and night and not cleaned. Also, I have seen dead bunnies, in the cage, goose with messed up wings. Unless you live far away, the competition for these farms is pretty fierce, there are others that are comparable and cleaner.
GREAT FARM!! we had soooo much fun they have free pony rides (oct only) with paid entrance, they have a petting zoo wich the children loved, fun hay rides. Its definetely a great place to go with the family so much fun the kids didnt even want to leave..
This is a great place to go in the fall to get a pumpkin. They also have a lot of free rides. More daughter had a lot of fun here and did not what to leave. She especially liked the petting zoo and hay ride.
We have only been around Halloween and it is very nice. Kids can touch goats and hold little chicks. It can get crowded if school groups show up and lines can get long for the hayride. There is a separate area for tots to bounce on those bouncy moon walk things.
we have taken our children here in the past. We went on a weekday when school was in session, so we beat the crowds. The petting zoo was open, the hay ride was running and there were some LARGE inflatable slides the kids played on and loved it! We had a great time. Look for coupons in the fall!
There is no way you can leave here being bored. It is a little pricey, and can be crowded on the weekends. However, your family will have a great time seeing the animals, wandering the corn maze, and bringing home pumpkins and taffy apples.
