Banducci's Family Pumpkin Patch - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I have to say this is an adorable pumpkin patch. So many cute pumpkins to choose from. They also have corn stalks for sale, some snack vendors and petting zoo. I would say it's priced out pretty fair. They also have a corn maze, but we didn't partake due to limited time as we came to town to visit family. It also makes great place for the cutest background fall pictures. The reason for my 4 stars is because I saw dog poop squished in one of the areas and there was so many flies due to rotting pumpkins. I think there should be a daily checks before opening to check for the over ripened pumpkins and toss those to animals in the petting zoo. I stepped on pieces of squishy pumpkins that was close to other pumpkins that looked ok and it was slippery. I would still recommend coming here. The staff is very kind, lots of shade and the layout was very nice. This place was packed! I gotta say even for how full it was, other customers were just as nice and patient waiting their turns for photo ops. I look forward to coming back and hopefully have time to go through their corn maze. read more

I have been coming to Banducci's Pumpkin Patch for years and it's my favorite pumpkin patch for many reasons! I love the low cost entry fee, the beautiful photo op's throughout the farm, highest quality pumpkins (seriously have had pumpkins last on my porch well past Thanksgiving), and location (super close to my house). I have now made it a tradition to come every year for my youngest birthday as he's born in October! The employees are all so kind and very welcoming. I love the addition of the agua Fresca truck and other food vendors! Highly recommend coming in the evening as the lighting of the farm makes it exrra magical! Thank you to this wonderful local farm! I have created so many magical memories with my kids over the years. read more

My family and I haven't been here since 2019, and while we waited a while to come back, it was completely worth it and we regretted not going every year. This scenery is incomparable as the pond in the background adds an amazing view to create beautiful memories. The photo opportunities were definitely our favorite part. The food vendors were also delicious. read more

Banducci's Family Pumpkin Patch - Butterfly display as you walk in - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great experience! My sister and I bright our families to take pictures at Banducci's. I'd already taken my four-month-old to a pumpkin patch where we live in the Bay Area, but we reserved Banducci's for the three cousins. We came a day after a big rainstorm, so the lot was a bit muddy. However, the rain didn't dampen the scenery or anything. Banducci's has rows and rows of pumpkins, a scenic pond, gorgeous trees, a small petting zoo with goats, a concession stand, and of course the corn maze. We didn't take part in the corn maze since we had three kids under three. There are ample photo opportunities, and if you can go in the morning--do it! We paid $5 for each adult. I meant to find out the pricing of the pumpkins, but since we really came here for photos and not pumpkins I failed to do this! Anyway, enjoy your time here! read more

visited this pumpkin patch while we were visiting friends in Bakersfield. we went late morning on a Saturday and it was a little busy but not too crazy. parking was easy. there are wagons up front you can use to load up your pumpkin finds. they have lots of different sizes but majority of them are orange - you won't find many unique looking ones here. there are lots of photo ops here, those signs where you can stick your head in, a really nice looking cinderella carriage in pumpkin form. one star knocked off because their pond is more like a swamp? its green and smells. i wasn't sure if this was on purpose but there was also an obscene amount of flies, it was really gross. another star knocked off because when I first went to pay for pumpkins, I heard the cashier tell the lady in front of me the small white pumpkins are $1. i thought that was a deal so I ran back out to grab some small white ones and the cashier I got said they were $2 each. I'm not sure if they just make up their prices as they go or what but it was not the same across the board. overall, its a nice pumpkin patch, especially if you live close by but I won't be coming back if I'm ever in town again. read more

Our first time here. It was enjoyable but definitely not our preferred pumpkin patch. $5 admission includes one run through the corn maze. You pay for your pumpkin based on size. We opted to only get pumpkins for our littles. It was packed which made it miserable for us because we had to use a stroller. They don't have very many wagons for families to use when selecting pumpkins. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. I loved supporting local though and would do it again. read more

We went on a Sunday in October and it was pretty packed with people. We didn't mind we should have known better. What we did mind were all the flies. Unfortunately, there are rotting pumpkins all over and there was a dead bird in the bird enclosure. We didn't like any of that. It was worth going once but I think we don't need to go again. read more

This us the best pumpkin patch around and has been for years. It is locally owned. They are friendly and welcoming every year. Bring the kids out to the corn maze or go for a pony ride. There is also lots if spots for pictures of the whole family. Well worth the small $5 dollars fee to enter. Take your time and enjoy a family trip to the farm. We will be back soon. One trip is never enough for my kids. read more

Many activities for all ages. Enjoyed them all!! Wanted more food options. Hopefully they will incorporate more food options in the future. The petting area is well kept. The animals are beautiful and cute. We got to hold bunnies and pet adorable and handsome goats. There were also horse and pet and more animals to see! Very enjoyable day with family. read more

It was my first time at any pumpkin patch, ever. I was able to take my two children and Banducci's created cute little picture perfect moments. We had a good time overall. Shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to go end to end at a toddler's walking pace. Admission was five dollars per adult. They had pumpkins of all normal sizes but mostly orange only, that I can recall. The pond and mini bridge created cute picture moments. I'm giving it four stars because of the following: -The pathway, due to circumstances, should be one continuous flow instead of crossing back to get out of dead ends. -Ten dollar pony ride signs every where but no ponies to ride. -Dirt parking lot. Prep the all terrain stroller/wagon. Bring bug repellent and sunscreen for the little ones. -When coming and going, it's a High speed limit street to turn onto. Can be dangerous for some. -Went here because we saw there was a corn maze however was not open when we visited. read more

Always a good time. Lots of photo opportunities and great selection of pumpkins. Corn maze was fun and the kids loved it. Great family activity read more

$20 for a family of 4 to just get inside, maze was not that great. Then $10 per kid per pony ride plus $5 per kid for the petting zoo. Overall, it seems pricy for what it is. The staff didn't seem very friendly. We selected 4 average sized pumpkins and they wanted $45. No thanks. I doubt we will be coming back. Murray Farms includes a free pumpkin with admission plus they have more to do. read more

Only been to three pumpkin patches but this seems to have the most experienced staff and bang for the buck. Lots of pumpkins and other side attractions to see or do. Of course you can find cheaper pumpkins somewhere else but definitely not the picture setups and variety of pumpkins. I recommend not going on a weekend, it gets pretty packed. read more

The dust is so bad here, hopefully they can get water trucks to spray it down sometime. Our entire family had sinus issues after this twice and bad as the fair. There's not many concessions and the ones that are there had huge lines. The pumpkins were reasonably price but there weren't many good ones to choose from. read more

Great place for purchasing pumpkins and super cute photo opps. They sell all kinds and sizes of pumpkins.

We have gone to this pumpkin patch for years and are always amazed at the HUGE turnout. Whether we go two days before Halloween (like we did this year, Woops! lol) or weeks ahead of time, there's always a crowd, but with good reason. They have SO MANY photo opps! They moved the entrance and exit this year and expanded the pumpkin patch and I loved the changes. They allowed for more space to walk and more places to take photos. They have giant wheel barrows full of pumpkins with backdrops all over and pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors! You'll see a bunch of people dressed up in fancy clothes with a photographer guiding them as well as kids in their Halloween costumes ready to get their photos taken. Even people in regular clothes just to buy some pumpkins! We always buy our pumpkins here and I feel the pricing is perfect for the size pumpkins we get. They are priced by size and almost always err on the low side which is so awesome. If you don't want to make the drive to the giant patch off the 58 and want a ton of great photo opps, I'd head here! They even have a couple of small food vendors, animals, and a pony ride! It's a great place for all your pumpkin patch needs. read more

This place is awesome, especially for the little ones , the little ones love the wagon it's fun for them an it awesome makes the adults think they are so cute!!! I recommend to take your kiddos there , take pictures so many different places to get pictures!!! read more

Used to be free, now it's $5 per person, the area is wayyy too small, too many people, no music, strollers and wagons blocking narrow pathways, closes early, corn maze closes an hour before actual close time, no activities, there's a sad "pony ride" with real animals for kids that is not worth paying for, save yourself the trouble and go to murray family farms instead, it does cost more but it's definitely worth it (murray NOT banduccis) read more

A lot of reviews talking about rude employees, "they asked me to put my pumpkin back when I didn't want to buy it," and so on but I didn't experience any rude employees. The pumpkins were all very reasonably priced so much so that I was actually shocked at how cheap they were. The employees were quick and efficient checking everyone out. I can see how there is confusion around pricing since its by size and there aren't prices posted. If you are curious on the prices walk to the checkout area and you'll get a better idea. They have a lot of visitors every year and the grounds are always clean, well kept and fun! Bring your family and have a good time! Go early and miss the rush but bring a jacket for the kids and prepare for a little dirt or mud if it's rained. There's plenty of parking but it is in a dirt field. read more

Always the nicest people, great little photo ops though the patch and really good prices. My family loves coming here every year

We love Banducci's!! Amazing fall atmosphere, family friendly, and the $5 fee includes a go in the corn maze. Great choice with having Brandon at the ticket booth, he made our visit great from the start! Couldn't have asked for a better farm to celebrate the fall season at! read more

We've been coming here since 2013. This is our favorite pumpkin patch because it's kid-friendly and family oriented. There's plenty of spots to take family pictures, and the bridge overlooking the lake is beautiful (It's even better at night!) There's a petting zoo and pony rides that the little kids can enjoy. There's also a corn maze covered in a field of sunflowers (so pretty!) We definitely enjoy coming here every year. read more

Our favorite pumpkin patch! Located just on Taft Highway just east of Buena Vista, you will find Banducci's. Parking lot is a giant dirt lot, so wear sneakers esp after a rain. Admission is free! When you enter, to the right is the register where you can see the prices of the pumpkins, arranged by increasing size/price. There are pumpkins of all sizes from tiny to huge and even white pumpkins to boot. There's several spots for taking photos on your own. In the center is a body of water. If you cross the bridge, you will find many of the ducks on the other side. There are also goats, sheep, quail, pheasants and turkeys to be viewed in their pens. There are pony rides for $5...they just go around in a small circle...but whatever makes your kid happy, right?! Off to the side is a giant corn maze which does cost admission of $3/person or $10/family. It's a fun thing to do before it gets dark. The path of the maze is well-paved. They do close it when it is dark. Lots of fun!! read more

It's a cute little pumpkin patch, perfect to take some quick family pictures. Does get busier around the end of October, so if you would like to go when it's less crowded I definitely recommend going in the beginning of October! read more

We love this pumpkin patch!!! Been coming here since we found them a few years ago. We also found and met Natalie of NYFotography here on our first visit and she took our photos... Which turned out amazing! We didn't have an appointment for the photos then but I guess she had some open time and she approached us if we wanted to have some taken... And so glad we did! This pumpkin patch is beautifully decorated for fall and Halloween. Great place to take fall and Halloween photos for the kids or the whole family. Admission is FREE. They have a variety of pumpkins and gourds for sale at great prices. This year they have pony rides for $5 and the corn maze is $3 per person or $10 for a family of 5. We will keep coming back to this place every year. And will have Natalie take our photos when our schedule allows. I recommend to check this place out if you haven't been and thinking of taking the kids to a pumpkin patch. read more

It was not crowded. We went at a a hot part of the day it was a beautiful place. It took maybe 10 min or less to get through. Nice place to take photos sit and enjoy the beautiful view. Every face I looked at no smiles no nothing just serious stares none of the workers looked happy at all. I've been to many pumpkin patches across California and it lacked the cheerful fall spirit of the employees that is what lead me to not make a purchase for a pumpkin. read more

My 3 year old son saw a tiny pumpkin on the counter by checkout, the man behind the counter rudely said it was not for sale since it was display. As I'm in line not even a minute later, a little girl and her dad run up and she takes the pumpkin, I'm making dead eye contact with the man behind the counter and he says to the dad yea it's for sale she can take it. My son had no idea why that little girl could have it and he couldn't, when he had it first. This "family friendly" pumpkin patch is not very family friendly is they are willing to make a toddler upset over a pumpkin to then go back ahead and sell it to an older child. I have been bringing my children here for 5 years religiously. I won't be anymore. This experience was completely disheartening. read more

This pumpkin patch was nice, has some very beautiful spots to take pictures. Carts are provided so you don't have to carry your child and the pumpkins lol They don't accept ATM, the corn maze is super fun for the kids. The employees are nice as well. I'd recommend if you don't want to spend so much time at a pumpkin patch. read more

Banducci's Family Pumpkin Patch - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Meh. The place is cute, the pumpkins are cool and plentiful. Was totally turned off by the fact that, when we took a pumpkin up to the front and then didn't want to pay the $40 we were quoted for it, we were told to put it back where we got it. I would suggest putting signs with prices OR employees ready to answer questions around the property so customers can be informed. Asking customers to essentially restock for you is hilariously bad customer service, what?! read more

Every year for 13 years my family and I have been attending this pumpkin patch with no problems. This year finally did it for me. First of all there charging, which isn't a whole lot, but I'm sure there making enough with selling pumpkins and every other service that's out there. To me, this use to be a family place no matter the money they try to make. The entrance greeter was the most rudest person I've meet in a while. He had this rude sarcastic attitude,which he try to make you feel and look stupid. He also looked like an ex-convict. Or maybe he just had something against other racist besides his own. It was good while it lasted. They'll most likely go out of business with bad attitudes and the expense's. I'd rather spend money on a place where is appreciated. read more

I have never experienced terrible customer service over the phone but there is always a first time. When I called, a younger girl answered with an angry hello. I asked her a few questions. She answered very rudely and then when I was in the middle of asking her name, she hung up on me. I called hoping to speak to an adult and a very old lady answered and she was worse. Horrible HoRRIBLE service over the phone. I called Murray Farms right after and what a difference in the way they answered my questions. Super disappointed with the service today. read more

There are so many pumpkins to choose from! I loved how there were all different sizes and multiple different locations to take pictures, some areas were more secluded and there is a beautiful bridge. There were also animals for children to pet and a corn maze for the kids to run into. The food choices were also good with mini snack bars for those that got thirsty and a wagon for the kids to sit in. read more

Great family owned pumpkin patch. My favorite are the untraditional knuckleheads. Be sure check them out. Oh! Make sure you look for a cart when you park, otherwise you'll be searching later. People tend to leave them after they loaf up. We always offer ours to someone that's parking. read more

I will come back to this pumpkin patch as long as I live in Bakersfield. Its free to come in and look around at the endless amounts of pumpkins! All different shapes, sizes & colors!
