Great staff, very attentive to your needs. My grandson loved the slide.:)

Great place to go with the family in spooky season! The admission fee to go into the fun area is just 5 bucks. I volunteered for a weekend and it was a great experience. The pumpkin patch is open Saturday and Sunday from 10/16-10/31 2020. It’s open from 10-5 on Sat and 10-4 on Sun. The admission comes with the hayride, petting zoo, giant slide, hoppy balls, tire pyramid, and cow train. You can buy extra tickets for other things like panning for gemstones, and the mechanical bull. While I was volunteering, we had quite some help during the morning, but around noon-5 we didn’t have much help and multiple times one of the other workers had to go between two things at a time. Would really help if more people volunteered. The giant slide, what I was working the most at, was very fun for the littles (and adults!) The only downside is that some kids decided to slide down before I gave them the go and the slide is titled down at an angle, so it may be difficult for littles to get on the slide, or the sled too, which is a piece of plastic with rope on the sides. The mechanical bull was cool too, but someone decided to work the machinery without a worker there. Quite a few kids were disappointed and unable to go on the cow train because the guy was taking care of the bull. The hayride was cool, but the wait time for it was very long. There was also a pumpkin launcher, which was very fun, but also scary since the top of the giant slide is very close to the target zone. A piece of a pumpkin landed right in front of me! The food is here exceptional but over priced. I definitely recommend that you check out the lemonade shaker and kettle corn truck if it’s there. We love it every time he comes around town and it’s great. There are so many different flavors of lemonade! 😋 The pumpkins are nice but the size depends on the year that you go, since they won’t have the same pumpkins year round. Maybe when COVID dies down, they’ll start doing the camps and retreats again. Overall, it’s a great hidden spot and my family and I loved it. Their mule is VERY loud! 😂

My son and (now) daughter paid a deposit and two payments for their wedding scheduled May 18, 2020. Due to businesses being shut down due to COVID, Dadosa could not provide any services. My kids understood that the inability of Dadosa Ranch to provide the arranged services was NOT the fault of the business and that the situation was out of everyone’s control. My kids also knew that neither they (nor the venue) had revoked any part of the contract created between the two parties. The owners of Dadosa Ranch seemed reasonable (at first) offering an alternative date. However, my kids had arranged to move to another state just weeks after their wedding, so they could not change their wedding date. My son and Daughter planned to have their wedding at Dadosa Ranch just two days after graduating with their bachelor degrees. So, they were full-time college students who worked, at the least four jobs, and for a short time six jobs, between the two of them to earn the money to pay the deposit and two payments to Dadosa. No specific arrangements had been finalized for their event, so there was no reason why the owners of Dadosa should have needed to spend any of the money received, however, the owners indicated the money had been spent on landscaping upgrades. The owners did not indicate they felt any obligation to return any part of the money received even though they knew they would not be able to provide the services for which the money had been given. The owners of Dodasa Ranch allowed my kids to shoulder the financial losss caused by the safeguards implemented by the government for a national pandemic, to which neither party had any control over. Yet, my kids lost ALL the money they had invested (after working so long and hard to earn it!!) Very disappointed in Dodasa's lack of integrity. PS. The kids kept their date and had a lovely ceremony is someone’s front yard.

Attened a downsized family wedding on the hottest day of the year and it was outdoors starting at 4:30 PM. The staff provided personal umbrellas, site umbrellas and cold water and kept checking on everyone was OK. Dinner was good and again the staff made sure everyone was masked until eating, hydrated and fan cooled. Ended up being a beautiful evening even with the heat.
