“My family and I have started going here ever since I started college back in 2015. Now, they travel here to come with us! Every year it's so nice to see the additions! This year I was finally able to take my son! There's alot of adorable spaces to take photos! It's such a beautiful place, and there's more than plenty of activities for the kids! The corn pit, zip line, and horse rides are especially our favorites!”
“Great place for family fun! Hearing of all they put back into the community...WOW. We spent hours there. First we volunteered then came back with the kids and still didn't get to try everything. Everything was affordable to from the pumpkins to the snacks and gift shop has such a variety-the tickets work for everything there! Well definitely be back before the season is over.”
“This is a great place to spend time with children and grandchildren. Papa's Pumpkin Patch has lots of games and activities to entertain children and adults of all ages. The entrance fee might seem a bit steep, but the funds go to a good cause. Plus, Thursdays are half-price.”
“Kids had a blast! Admission is cheap and most things for kids are free! Also a great place for family photos! We will definitely be going again next year! We spent 3 hrs there and could've spent the day! We all loved it! Thanks papa's pumpkin patch for having us!”
“This was a fun place to go with my dog. Although ot is likely too busy for young dogs to focus well most of the time we went on a weekday evening and he did rather well. It was a lovely place to walk around and take cute pictures.”
“Had another great time here we come every year. I love having our picture taken in the same spot each year to compare them. I enjoy watching the grandkids play and discover all the fun here at Papa's Pumpkin Patch!!”
“So fun and wholesome! Everyone was friendly and kind here, and the place has plenty of games and photo ops! I loved it to bits!”
“Super cute! First time going and we were happy with the visit to this patch. There were lots of photo op areas! Tons and I mean tons of pumpkins!!! And pony rides for the kids!!! Also dog friendly which is a huge reason we drove 2+ hours to visit. A few cons where the area seemed packed with activities and little space, almost cramped. Which can be a plus too but for us it was just a big crowded. Also when it came to our crawling baby there wasn’t much to do. We only found one baby swing and that was pretty much it. Other areas were just crowded with older kiddos playing a bit too rough for our baby. But once she’s walking I’m sure she would love to play around more. And last con would be we got hot chocolates and they were freezing, not to mention it wasn’t properly mixed so our first sips were just cocoa powder. 🥲 Other than that it was cute !!”
