The amount of time they put in to this holiday light display was very apparent. It was beautiful. Tons of family photo moments. My daughter loved everything about it. Even my husband was blown away by the set up. Once done with the light portion you walk right into this giant fun zone. They also had a booth for hot chocolate which came with these adorable mugs. We tried the salted caramel and the red velvet hot chocolates. Both were delicious however that red velvet was out of this world. Then all the fun games the kids and even adults could play. After we hit up each “play station” we let the girls go on the slide for a good 15 min. Ended by walking through the barn with baby goats. Everything about this really put you in the Christmas mood. Cannot wait to go back if they do it again next year! 10/10 recommend.

We love coming here each year! They have so many activities for kids. Pumpkin patch, or pick from the pre picked. Great orchard. And an amazing store with awesome selections. Every year they are finding ways to make your visit better. Absolutely love coming here!

The price is steep. Especially on the weekends, and even more so if you don't buy in advance. The extra convenience fee added to each ticket that I had to print myself was annoying and half the cost of another ticket. There was a lot to look at, and it's easy to get your steps in for the day. You'll want to be there earlier in the day when they still have two tractors running otherwise you will be waiting twenty plus minutes for a very crowded ride. The sunflower field is pretty, and the sight of so many beautiful blossoms smiling back at you as you pull up is very uplifting. The large straw pyramid gives you a great view of the pumpkin patch and surrounding activities. It's a shame the train was still out of service. The items in the store are definitely gift shop priced. My 10 year old had fun and made a new friend, and my 17 year old enjoyed the day out with her boyfriend. It helped that I was able to leave an adult with the 10 year old at the kids activities, but that means I missed out on a romantic photo in the sunflowers with my husband. *sigh* better luck next year I guess.

Being from Florida this was the first time My family of seven has ever done anything like a corn maze. This place has so much to do it might as well be a theme park in Florida. Sack slides, 4 acre corn maze for big and small, hay rides, tractor pull, peddle tractors, apple sling shot, and so much more. Love the apple cider slushee and lemonade full of lemon wedges!! As first timers our family of seven enjoyed it all!!! Only downside was the gnats, and theme park prices. Buy tickets online in advanced and save!
