I took my son here a couple times to see the animals in the summertime then again to get a pumpkin in the fall. If you’re looking to have your time here ruined by poor attitude high schoolers this is the place to go. They do a good job taking the fun out of experiences that could be great otherwise. Also for the petting portion of the farm; unless your arms are feet long to reach any animal far behind fences don’t bother hoping to get up close with much of anything.
I'm not a parent of young children so I didn't go to the petting zoo or mazes. I only visited the market. There are jams/jellies and apples to buy. There are a few baked goods too. There are some garden produce too. Corn stalk bundles and pumpkins of all sizes. There were several parents there with kids getting their choices of pumpkins. I went on a weekday. They had lovely smelling bars of homemade goat milk soap. The price is an outrageous $8/bar. I make my own soap so I didn't buy any because of that and I felt the price too high. Everything else seemed priced right. I bought somw apples called Snappy Mac. I'd never heard of rhem before but bought to try. They are very juicy and tart, like a Granny Smith is tart but more juicy than GS. It looks to be popular but I'd not been there before. I was at Skelly's farm in Janesville and Skelly's has more to offer than Eugster's all the way around. Perhaps Eugster's could check out their competitors and expand just a bit. If I had to choose only one place to go to, I'd choose Skelly's. I'd never been to Skelly's until this year either.
This year: 1 star. Very frustrated. Crop of apples was awful due to hail damage and they weren't up front about it. Wanted to downsize to a cheaper bag given we purchased the largest bag and struggled to even find 10 suitable apples after 45 minutes and they refused. Will look elsewhere in the future. Lost $42 a year to save $7 today, makes a lot of sense
Last year: 5 stars. What a great time we had here. So many activities including Apple picking, pumpkin patch, tractor ride, and tons of animals. My 3 year old had a blast
Great place for families. There is a little bit of walking. Free wagons to carry veggies and children.
So much fun at the petting zoo! They have tons for you to see. Great for the little ones.
If you have small kids, they will love this place. There are lots of animals to feed and pet. You can easily waste a couple hours here.
Adorable place. We have newborn twins and an older toddler, and it's a nice place to visit and let my older one explore while we stroll with the babies. So many animals, and we love the kitten/cat house. Always so many docile, loving kitties to snuggle! Hard to not take them all home. Feeding the baby goats is an excellent part of the farm.
Great Halloween festivities. On the pricey side.
A lot to do for kids. I didn't like how there were very graphic pictures of haunted houses and horror posters visible as you drove in. They weren't "in your face" but they were easily seen by our young kids. We had them close their eyes as we pulled in and out. But once there, it was a lot of fun.
It's a little pricey for some events but it's a beautifully kept up farm that is never a disappointment. Plus, I'd rather pay money to pet goats than to pay the same to sit inside a movie theatre :)
This was my first time going to Eugster's and it was a great experience. Their Apple Cider Donuts are delicious and they have a lot of different activities for all ages. My personal favorite part was getting to visit the kitten house and the baby bunnies.
Truly fun for the whole family. Plenty of apples in the Orchard for picking. My 5mo loved looking at the baby pigs and bunnies. Somewhat pricey, but it includes a lot!
