We went on a Tuesday so it wasn't quite so crowded. Weather was perfect and there was plenty to keep us busy for a few hours. We really enjoyed the pumpkin cannon and the bounce pads.

It was a beautiful fall day and they have expanded the fun things for kids. So many things to do. Different colors of pumpkins to pick from. And the mums are stunning. I was pleasantly surprised that they still have the dried flowers upstairs in the barn.

I don't have much pumpkin patch experience, but this lined up with the dream I had in mind for a beautiful fall day. Loved the atmosphere, the calm but busy crowd of happy people, and all the activities. Also, amazing kettle corn. Need to stock up!
