SOME OF OUR FAVORITE REVIEWS
"By far the best pumpkin patch and festival we have been to! We visited from San Antonio! Our daughter and friends daughter both under 3 had a blast! There are so many activities to do for them! They didn’t know where to go! Their favorite was the giant corn pit!"
- Vanessa R. 10/2/2022
"This is truly an amazing pumpkin patch, more than I’ve ever seen! It’s geared towards families but also has elements that adults will absolutely love! It’s well organized on a gorgeous piece of property! Truly a special piece to start off the fall season! The price is so affordable, even for a bigger family with plenty of activities included in the entrance price!"
- Rachael G. 10/11/2022
"We enjoyed our day at the Pumpkin Festival, not only was it nice and spread out there were shady areas to escape the heat and plenty of photo opportunities. We also enjoyed relaxing with some beverages and listened to the live music while the kids played."
