“✨ Loved our visit to Pastorino’s Farm! ✨ We stopped by Pastorino’s Farm after checking out the crowds at Lemos, and I’m so glad we did! What a hidden gem! 💛 The place had such a peaceful, family-friendly vibe — no chaos, no long lines, just pure fun. They had train rides for $6 each, haunted house , hayrides, bouncy castles, a pumpkin and plant store, and the best part — free parking and free entry! Most of the farm looks a bit old and dusty , but the owners are super friendly and nice , no wait time was the best 🙌 Even the little coffee stand inside was super affordable ($2 for a good cup!). It was such a refreshing experience — we took beautiful photos, enjoyed the fall vibes, and actually got to relax without rushing or overspending. 🎃☕️ Highly recommend Pastorino’s Farm if you want to enjoy the real pumpkin patch fun without the crowds and crazy prices. 💚”

“We just celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday at Pastorino's. For a flat fee, we had a bouncy house, petting zoo, pony ride, train and hay rides for all of our guests (36 kids). They also have a huge party room to serve lunch/cake. This is a great deal compared to some of the nearby competitors. I had 70+ people attending, including the adults. There was plenty of space for everyone and it was so nice having all the activities included. I also found it much easier than hosting a party at the park. Scott and team were very accommodating! They have the room setup already and decorated in a very cute farm theme, with table clothes, etc. (although you’re welcomed to use your own also.) They also take care of the trash. Many of my guests raved about the amazing party we hosted! We will definitely return.”

“What a fantastic pumpkin patch! Pastorino's has something for everyone. We spent hours there and the kids never got bored. They went from the bouncy castles to the petting zoo, got temporary tattoos, and rode a train. The haunted house was a highlight – scary enough to spook them but still fun! Even though it was bustling with people, the farm is so spacious that the crowds were manageable. It was a pleasant surprise to find a cafe on the premises for a quick coffee break. Just a heads up, the weekend traffic to get there was heavy, so planning to arrive early is a smart move. We will definitely be back next year!”

“Their website says the attractions are only open until 4:30 but when we went on a Saturday they kept everything open until 5:30, i guess because they were so busy A large selection of pumpkins as well as ample picture-taking locations. The petting zoo was cool, mostly goats but they also had a pig and some chickens. Bring a dollar and you can feed them, the goats seem to always be hungry. Watch out for traffic on the weekends, it added an extra 40 minutes to our trip on the way there. Didn't need a reservation or anything, which was great since Limos farm across the street apparently does”

“It has a good variety of activities there, especially for little kids. The train ride is fun as it runs through an indoor decorated area as well. The pony ride is great for little kids. The hay ride is not so much fun in my opinion but my kids like it still. The petting zoo has some cute animals but it’s too small. With all the kids parents and animals in there I feel it’s impossible to move around with my kids without stepping on someone’s toes. Pumpkins are sold based on size. We picked one for $10. P.S try to go there early to avoid traffic.”

“Super fun Halloween-themed pumpkin farm for kids! Lots of inexpensive activities like ponies, goats, train rides and slides, with a very cute gift shop for mom and dad. The family who own the property are really nice, and the staff are friendly, patient with kids, and super helpful. It's a fantastic place to spend a whole afternoon. Beautiful scenery as well! I should note that my pics are screen captures from our train ride video, mainly because we had so much fun I lowkey forgot to use my camera!”

“Love this pumpkin patch! Return every year because the keep it free for families and still offer train rides, jump houses, petting zoo and pony rides! There is plenty of parking area and the store has a variety of Halloween gifts! From jewelry to decor this past main patch does not disappoint! Plenty of cut outs and little photo ops are a bonus for kids to go around and take pictures behind!! Also has a nursery to buy plants!”
