mile high farms

This was our first trip to the farms after seeing a review on Fox News it looked like fun. The admission price is worth the activities for the kids. If you come, pack a lunch, bring water and a wagon to haul pumpkins to car, along with gloves and a knife to cut the pumpkins. The Pros: Not crowded, admission price is great for the kids entertainment value (kids maze, petting zoo, hay ride, train ride, and tire swings), has shade for picnics. The Cons: The inability to take home lots of pumpkins because you can’t drive out and fill up your car. You can take home pumpkins only what you can carry. We tried to order food but after an hour of waiting, we decided to get a refund and go home. It would be nice if they had more food trucks to help with the demand. The payment process for the pumpkins is a little long. Overall we had a great time and we went home with tired kids and 3 pumpkins. If we come back next year, we will be more prepared.

This was our 1st visit to a Pumpkin Patch with our toddlers and it was a fun outing from the corn play pit to the picking of pumpkins. The only thing that made this trip unpleasant was the food (or lack thereof). 1 of the 2 food vendors was closed and had a horrendous wait. That was the only downside to the visit.

I took our 9 yr old triplets and 10 yr old and we all enjoyed this very pleasant outing at Halloween time. They loved the tire swings and burying themselves in the truck filled with corn. I was pleased that the food court had offerings other than hamburgers and hotdogs. The staff was very friendly, as were the animals at the petting zoo! It was a little strange that these funky houses they built were just for show, not for actually going inside, but it did make for cute photos. We will return next year for another visit.

We used a groupon to visit this pumpkin patch. The normal rate is $12 for adults and $10 for kids. The admission gets you the corn maze, hay ride, barrel train ride, bouncy house, and farm animal petting area. There were lots of photo opportunities. They have built up some great for picture opportunities. They had lots of old farm equipment and some newer farm equipment for picture opportunities too. The corn maze had two different options. One was easy and the other harder. We did both. The easy one was perfect for younger kids and the harder one wasn't much harder but our 8 year old liked it. The hay ride to the pumpkin patch was fun. There were pumpkins hanging in the tree that the kids were trying to spot along the ride. The pumpkin patch was not that great. The selection of pumpkins was limited. The cost was 75 cents a pound which is quite expensive. We did not buy a pumpkin there. They had tables and chairs under a tent for eating and resting. You can bring in your own lunch or snacks. They also have several food vendors selling food. They had several porta potties and they were clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a good time. We will return next year for fall photos :)
