Before you go

A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in California.

  • Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
  • Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
  • Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“So glad we heard about this pumpkin patch. They have a petting Zoo, tractor ride, games, jumpers and probably the biggest blow up slide you'll ever see. Great selection of pumpkins too!! Kids are already asking to go back!! My hubby was enjoying himself watching baseball in the lounge area as well... They also had a movie playing on a projector but my kids were pooped so we couldn't stay for that. Overall this place is well worth it! Can't wait to go back! Almost forgot to mention the tacos and freshly popped popcorn.. super bomb!”

“Excellent adventure for the family and kids. Overall, my family and I had an amazing experience. 10/10 recommend to anyone in the San Diego area. Drinks, games, fun and great vibes all around.”

“I would recommend to wear boots 🥾 as it’s pretty dusty here. Entrance is free, but you need a wrist band for the inflatables and tickets for hey ride or petting zoo. $5 per person. Petting zoo: few chickens, a duck, several goats, few pigs, a bunny. Its in a barn, so there is the smell you should be prepared for. $5 per person Hey ride. It could have been fun, but.. the smoke 💨 out of the exhaust pipe of the truck together with lots of dust right to the kids faces was awful. Free admission/Pumpkin patch. Lots if pumpkins of all sizes. Adorable 🎃”

“Came here with five year old daughter. There are plenty of activities, probably more than most of the patches we have been to in the past couple years: little train like carts, inflatable slides for children, bounce house, petting zoo, and some carnival games. It was fun and not crowded (we arrived at opening and stayed until 1230). The downer is not all things were operational at start, including two of three food stands. There's no corn maze at this one but plenty of activities, so not really missed. You get 5 free tickets for an honest review.”

“I took my 6 year old son and he had so much fun on the trampoline area. I wish they were more foods stands. Very good price to enter $2 per person. The wristband to enter in the trampoline park was $25 for 30 minutes and $30 for an hour. Will take my son again.”

“The jumpy was good. Sad to say extremely over priced funnel cake , BUT the worse one I’ve ever had because of the Oil used . You should never allow such low quality product to be associated with kids events . Very disappointing and caused stomach issues . And I was not the only one mentioning this . Others said the same . You could smell the oil”

“Update- really disappointed… wristbands for jumpers are $20 for 30 minutes or $30/hour and everything else they offer (petting zoo, hay ride, etc) cost extra… slides were wet when we were there and kept pooling water, which unfortunately my son was very picky about as he doesn’t like his socks and pants wet. Not sure what happened, we used to love this place. Our new favorite pumpkin patch! A great selection of pumpkins, jumpers and a petting zoo for the kids, a hayride, a little 'photobooth' area... it was perfect!”

“This place is a scam. The 6 jumping inflatables in the middle require a wristband at $25 for 30 min, $30/hr but do not cover anything else, even other inflatables like slide/pad. Everything requires several $1.50 tickets each, so to do both areas is going to wind up costing you like $60+ per kid. Def not coming back”
