This pumpkin patch it amazing. There is so much for the family to do. There are rides and activities for very young children (toddlers) as well as activities for older children. There is even a lot of fun for adults. The pumpkin selection is amazing with baby different sizes of pumpkins and gourds. There is also a great selection of food and drinks.
We loved the pumpkin patch but there was a huge problem with major dust and very strong animal odors in the air. Thick dust even on the jumpers. We were forced to leave because it gave my granddaughter a major asthma attack. It took her three days to recuperate and will most likely still need to follow-up because her breathing is still not totally under control. Sadly, I won't be able to bring her here during Christmas to pick a tree. We will be forced to never return here. The dust is too out of control. But if you don't have asthma or breathing problems, the pumpkins were beautiful!
My kids & I really enjoyed our visit here. They have a snack bar with cold drinks and treats which is nice on a hot day. They have a petting zoo and other animal enclosures (birds llamas, pigs, horses) they have a small zoo line and carnival style rides for toddlers. They offer game booths as well as a bounce house area for younger children. A HUGE selection of pumpkins, and a tractor ride.
My only issue is that they do not have indoor restrooms which can be challenging for parents with small children and strollers as well as handicap. Also there is mulch and dirt EVERYWHERE no cement or solid areas even in the picnic table area. Which made it difficult to bring in an stroller, just make sure you bring a backpack if you have infants with you.
First time with family on 10/21/17. Great atmosphere, for me reasonable prices. Great selection of pumpkins, wish the patch was better lit, especially at night. I would post warning about how some strollers are better fitted for this type of ground. Any readers of this review beware, bring a stroller that has wide wheels, not suited for the lightweight cheap strollers you buy for $30 or so. Next time I will bring my wagon. I expected it to be overcrowded during peak Halloween season, so I don’t understand those who stated it was overcrowded. Best part for us was the petting zoo. Gift shop was a nice touch. I would also have people put on the street to help those cross the street and hold off cars. The fact that people were still arriving at night while we were leaving at around 7:30pm, tells you about this place. Parking is what it is, better to park out on the street.
I had lots of fun here with my family. I notice a lot of bad reviews noting the cost of this place. They have no idea how much it actually costs to run a joint like this. This isn't a big amusement park funded by a behemoth like Disney. This is a small operation that is surprisingly large for what it offers. They aren't trying to scam you.
I can't afford the pumpkins there. In fact, there's a lot I can't afford there. But I do appreciate this place. It has many kid friendly things to do, including the hay ride. My 1 year old had a blast at the petting zoo. The corn maze is pretty fun, ESPECIALLY at night. Actually, doing it at night is the only way to do it.
I'm really glad also that they seem to have changed their funnel cake vendor this year. Last time I went, it was this greasy batter of filth.
And I hope they continue to stay in business.
Wonderful pumpkin patch and Xmas tree lot but carnival area is a bit pricey.
We went to Live Oak Canyon pumpkin patch back in the 3rd week of October 2016. The have great areas for kids. Photo opportunities and tons of pumpkins to choose from. I am not kidding when i say we bought a pumpkin back in October that i never carved its been sitting on my door step since. We live in Riverside and its hot here. The pumpkin is just starting to soften. Its been 6 months. I've never seen a store bought pumpkin last this long. I would recommend going here.
This was quite a disappointment. After driving past this place every day on the way to work, and also reading reviews, I was really excited to go. I invited my parents and older brother and our significant others, as we all wanted to try to corn maze. We tried to look for info on their website, butwell, we all agreed that their website needs a major revamp. There's just not a lot of important need-to-know info on it, such as hours and days when the corn maze is available, what all the different ticket packages cost, etc.
So we arrived andthe corn maze was closed. No idea why, no sign explaining when it would be open again. We asked a staff member and told him we had come all the way just for the corn maze, and he said, "Well, I couldn't stop you if you ran in" (Which I LOVED! Thank you!!) However, we were SO glad that we had gotten to go in for free, because it would NOT have been worth it to pay. It actually wasn't a maze. It was just pathways where you were supposed to try and find 4 different points. There were SO many exits - not a typical maze with one entrance and one exit. Too easy, and quite a disappointment. I guess if we had known what to expect, it would have been okay. But to call it a "maze"? That made it a let-down. As long as you know what to expect.
Also, NONE of the rides and booths were open except the petting zoo and photos with Santa. The website did not say anything about things being closed!! The website had even said there would be live bands that weekend. but apparently not at the time we went! The website seriously needs to be more detailed, especially for people that drive out from far away!
The good thing? At least it was free to park and walk in!
Don't bother driving to this place. We used to go every year and it was affordable to take all the kids (nieces/nephews). This year we drove all the way there to find out they drastically increased prices. Nothing there is a good price. $8 per child per ride plus $6 per person during the day to do corn maze. There were alot of people like us who walked up, were told prices, and then walked away without buying anything. The food/drinks weren't following health code guidelines either. They have an attraction that advertises real monkeys inside a tiny building; they can't possibly be treating them well. Most of the employees were either bored, on their phones, or too busy talking with each other. They need an overhaul for us to consider coming back or recommending it to anyone.
Sadly this year will be the last time we go to the pumpkin patch. It typically was our annual Halloween/fall outing. It used to be that you would buy a pass and it would be good for the whole season. Now we have to pay every time we go back. $3 during the week and $5 on weekends. Not the biggest deal but it could get pricy if you go back more than once. Here is where my huge disappointment came in. We went this weekend and invited my mom, who drove 40+ miles to get here. We bought tickets for the kids to go in rides. It was two girls and one toddler. We approach the first ride and we are told that they are closed and cannot accommodate the kids. As we are waiting in line for another ride we see that they are allowing other kids to ride. the kids were pretty upset and I thought it was rude. It used to have such a family feel and seemed like it was a place for families to enjoy. Now it feels like they are trying to charge as much money as they can for every single thing. Unless thugs change we won't be returning.
