“Out walking this morning and decided to visit. Fun for all ages including adults. Owners Dean and Jackie most engaging and personable. They love to see kids be kids! Several school buses from area towns filled with youngsters enjoyed the funfilled pumpkin patch, taking photos, giggling with laughter, climbing, running, picking out pumpkins, gourds, squash and colorful Indian corn. So much time, effort, blood, sweat and tears over the years, has made this, area's largest fun-filled fall activity. And the wonderful hospitality is worth ten stars rather than five! Dennis Kluesner - Joyce Gibbs (author)”
“LOTS of pumpkins to choose from at a reasonable price, really fun gourds to purchase, play equipment for kids to play on, and the corn maze was fun. The theme of the corn maze was kid focused and had some great characters and fun dad-jokes. :) Appreciated the clean, pretty level, path in the corn maze. The staff also had adjusted their protocols due to COVID-19, but they were easy to follow and did not deter from the fun. Great place to take kids!”
“LOVED it cheap fun for the family. The owners are amazing. I loved the corn maze. They give you piece of paper and get it punched at each station you find on the map. My kids love this place. Highly recommend it.”
“Such a sweet couple that run the place. A fun place for the family. We took our two year old through the maze and he played on all the neat stuff in the patch. We all had a blast.”
