Hunsader Farms

“The Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival is hands-down one of the best fall events in Florida! 🎃🍂 Every year it seems to get better — from the incredible food vendors (the roasted corn and homemade pies are a must!) to the live music, craft booths, and family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone. The pumpkin patch is picture-perfect, and the kids love the petting zoo, pony rides, and train. It’s such a fun way to kick off the fall season — even in sunny Florida, you can feel that cozy autumn vibe here. Parking is well organized, staff are super friendly, and everything is clean and well run. We make it a tradition every year, and it never disappoints! Highly recommend for families, couples, and anyone looking for some classic fall fun. 🍁👏”

“Not sure why so many negative reviews. The farm is awesome, big, lots of space and fun things for the kids like giant jump pillow, carts, playground, little tiny village to go into tiny houses, ice cream. Plenty of goats and farm animals to feed. Some things were not open like train ride because they almost closing for a season. But my daughter loved it, and we also picked flowers. Can’t wait to go back in a fall when is a bit cooler. Awesome experience. For those who complain is dirty, etc. Well is a farm, it is normal for the farm. Bathrooms were clean and plenty spaces and shaded options to chill. We loved it.”

“I went to Hunsader Farms KOA this past weekend and had a fun time camping with my family there was a plethora of things to do the a Craft Fair which was also really cool we got to see, feed, and pet a variety of different animals.They have an arcade room. They also have a big farmers market and a lot of little things you can go do. I think overall people should really give this place a shot if you haven't already its great and even for a 3 day camping trip it refreshing and peaceful. Big thanks to the KOA Management for doing a great job.”

“I have been visiting everytime i come to the area to visit my grandkids. It has improved by adding additional areas. The kids play and make a day of it. Pack a lunch if you go during the week as the food is only available on weekends other than what is in the produce area. They offer pick your own areas,petting zoo, KOA camping and more.”

“Great day for u-pic flowers 5/2/26. Great area for pics. Choose between zinnias and sunflowers. Back at the market area shop for locally sourced meats, veggies, honey, jams and more!”

“It's a must on my list every April. The U-Pick Zinnias and Sunflowers are not to be missed. The fresh fruit and veggie stand is great too. You can also pick your own produce.”

“I visited Hunsader Farms in Bradenton for their Pumpkin Festival and it was a great way to spend a fall day. The pumpkin fields had plenty of good picks, the hayrides were relaxing, and the corn maze added some fun adventure. The petting zoo and playground were nice for kids and the food stands had everything from roasted corn to funnel cakes and fresh lemonade. The smell of everything cooking really set the fall atmosphere. Parking was easy and the festival felt well organized without being too crowded. It’s a laid back family spot where you can take photos, enjoy the weather, and just have a simple fun day outdoors. If you’re looking for a fall outing around Bradenton, Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival is a solid choice for good food, family time, and that seasonal small-town feel.”

“So we took our daughter and grandson with us to Hunsader’s petting farm. I was a little surprised that they charged a 2 yr old the full price. There are a lot of nice options and different things to enjoy and see but the place needs some upkeep and cleaning and maintenance done. Some of the toys in the sand area are broken, there are a lot areas that need mowed and branches picked up. There are rides in tiny town that are fun but the one didn’t work when it took our money. They aren’t marked as to how much they cost to ride. We enjoyed the playground areas but one of the slides is blocked off. There are a lot of animals to enjoy! It’s showing age and some neglect for a $15 entrance fee per person”
