“Went yesterday afternoon and we were stopped once we pulled in and informed that they were closing because it was raining pretty hard. We asked if we could just buy some pumpkins real quick and they let us in to choose our pumpkins and didn’t charge us admission. We were there probably 20 minutes total. Despite the weather being wet and cold, they were kind, courteous, and extremely patient with us. Even though it was a short visit, everyone was extremely friendly and we never felt rushed. Our pumpkins were chock full of seeds and GORGEOUS! I will be back every year they are open.”
“A delightful evening at the pumpkin patch. Set in a picturesque location ideal for family fall photos. The family is amazing and their farm is built with a palpable feeling of love and respect for their historic property. So happy I got to visit with my son, who had such an amazing time he didn’t want to leave! They also have homemade ice cream and a Frito pie bar!”
“We had a great time at the River Edge Pumpkin Patch! My 4 year old son loved everything from the rubber ducky races, the grain pit, face painting, hay rides and so much more. There is a wide variety of pumpkins to choose from within a great price range. I would absolutely recommend everyone take the time to get into the fall spirit and visit! 10 out of 10!!”
“What a great place! All of my family arrived at the pumpkin patch are were greeted by friendly, smiling people. The patch is small and intimate. We bought some of the best sourdough bread we have ever had and the Cowboy beans were amazing. I would definitely recommend making this a must stop and visit while you are in the area.”
“Our kids love the pumpkin patch. The first time we took them, they were really little. I was surprised that they remembered it when we told them we were going the following year. A lot of activities available with ticket entrance. The face painting vendors are also a favorite.”
“I had a great time at the pumpkin patch. I greatly enjoyed the hayride to the corn maze followed by a homemade milk shake. There are great activities to do at the pumpkin patch like hatchet throwing and face painting. This is a great place to spend the day with your family.”
“The River Ridge pumpkin patch was a fun experience for our kiddo. The games were fun, creative and our 4 year old thoroughly enjoyed them, especially the face painting. Definitely visiting again!”
