“We found River Ranch pumpkin after our normal place closed down. We will be back every year that they are here! It’s a great atmosphere that feels cozy and authentic, along with amazing prices! They have different varieties of pumpkins and activities, they offer hay rides, a haunted house, pony rides, and games. They also have painted ghostly gourds, succulent pumpkins, and persimmons! They have a few different areas you can snap some cute family photos and most importantly there is a bathroom (port-a-pottie) on site. If you are looking for a new pumpkin patch to check this places is a must go!”
“This ranch was my scene! I loved it was very unique with succulent pumpkins and farm animals. I got a huge pumpkin for a great price. The people were so nice. I'll definitely be back.”
“We had the best time at the River Ranch pumpkin patch. A fabulous haunted house, tacos for lunch and a relaxing time under the gazebo! The hay ride was beautiful!”
“Great place for the kids. Games and pony ride definitely a big hit.”
“It was disappointing. There really isn't much to do. The pony ride was $10 for a few minutes and was the best thing there. There were a few little games to play, but definitely not worth it. There were a lot of pumpkins though.”
