Went on a weekday, and it was dead. The number of and variety of exotic animals was surprising but some of the animals were kept in surprisingly small enclosures, and did not look well cared for. Food choices were pretty meh, and prices in the shop were pretty high. Nothing really exceptional about it except for all the animals, and depending on your point of view, that's not necessarily a positive.
Way too expensive for the experience. We waited in lines for absolutely everything. If you enjoy paying $75 for two adults and two kids and like waiting in long lines this is the place for you. Donuts are good. There are way better pumpkin farms around for cheaper.
Took the grandkids there on Columbus Day. This place is a fall tradition for us. Yes, the prices have risen over the years but they keep adding new things so it's worth it. We get there as soon as they open so the giraffe is hungry and ready to eat the carrots the kids feed them. Same with the parakeets that you feed with birdseed on a stick.
It costs more on weekends and holidays but they add more magic shows and pig races.
Bring your camera and take lots of pictures. But the pumpkin prices are too high so shop elsewhere for that.
After noon this place is crazy busy on weekends so plan to get here early and leave when it gets too much.
We went there in October and absolutely loved it. Our 4 and 1 year old both were very much entertained, we spent way more time there than we were originally planned.
Kids get to aee animals, play in corn box (by far the most popular attraction), climb on numerous exhibits, ride the tractor, eat, and it goes on and on. Really fun time!
Pricey at $15 per adult. Camel ride is $6. Petting Zoo always a hit. Corn box tons of fun for the kids. Good way for the under 10 age group to burn calories. Nice selection of foods at the food court. Apple Donuts yummy. Apple cider is excellent.
We took our Grand Daughters, They had a Great time!! And Nana loved the shopping spaces!! I would highly recommend for everyone. I only wish it could have been cooler, it was 90 degrees out so it was a short visit. but no one can control that!
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great place to spend time with the family!
We've been getting our summer flowers here for years. Yes they are more expensive than Home Depot or some family owned businesses, but the quality out weighs the extra cost by far.
I was surprised by the lack of amenities away from fall time. The autumn is the best time for all of the attractions. animals in puny stalls and their own filth was just wrong. When asked, I was told the animals were here only for short periods of time, and the owners clean the stalls daily. whatever that may mean, can they not do something for these suffering creatures.?. My 3 yr old daughter and I saw a dead piglet being stepped on by other pigs and staff,could they not see it?? The only good section for children is in the paid areas ($14 per person) where there are many attractions geared towards families, other fees for certain attractions too, including camel and donkey rides or jumping for a short time on an inflated pillow. That of course is only available on weekends during the rest of the year but daily in the fall. Food is okay, but not always cooked appropriately and very expensive.
the one aspect I enjoy is the part open year round, the farmer's market and Amish area.
I generously gave a three because of the produce being so fresh and that they have a working fudge shop (seasonally anyway). My family has given them 0-1 stars because of their treatment of animals and expensive fares. I do return annually for pictures of my children in the oversized rocking chair, and good quality pumpkins. But we won't be doing the other attractions anymore.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Goebberts Pumpkin Farm. So many things to see and do. Loved the pig race and feeding the animals. My granddaughter loved playing on the slides and driving the big pink tractor. My husband and I took a picture in the big chair to commemorate our day out. Lunch was great and we took home some donuts to enjoy the next day. Go early and beat the crowd. It's well worth the admission fee. We are bound to return next year. Keep up the good work. A great family place!
As of recent I started coming here witty the family. Here are some notes:
- Parking can take a while during the weekends, but this is expected.
- Pumpkin picking is fun, it's open to choosing what's available
- Prices for food and fruit are just right. The Cortland apples are delicious. The Apple pie is great. Try to make it early to get some of their roasted corn with butter!
