I purchased any-day tickets for the fall festival and decided to go on a Saturday with my two kids a few weeks ago. I definitely recommend going on Saturday because there are fireworks. There are enough activities to spend the whole day here and lots of food options or BYO. Some of the things we did: -bubbles -tire swings Duck races -barn games -rope swinging -obstacle course -pillow jump -zip lines -wagon ride to pumpkin patch -spiderweb -2 corn mazes -pedal karts -barrel train -slides -pig races -farm yard animals Definitely make time to visit the country store too! read more

Been here several times over the years and I don't think it's worth the price any longer. For just my son and I to visit, we paid almost $60. He enjoyed it but it's not worth it when I've been to much better farms for less. I felt so bad having to keep my 6 year old in a line for food for almost an hour too. The bathrooms were not cleaned throughout the day, the people driving the barrel ride were FLYING, thought my kid was going to fly out of it since there are no seat belts. $5.50 to paint a tiny pumpkin? Give me a break. Trying to go thru the kiddy maze a few times and the worker made me carry this giant flag around, so dumb. I will stick with the other farms from now on. read more

Paying $30 per person to get in just to realize that half the activities need additional payment is CRAZY. It's fine if you have toddlers because there is enough to keep them occupied without additional funds, but 8+ year olds need the other activities and you can expect to dish out an extra $20 per kid for your older kids. That doesn't make this place affordable. I've asked several friends to go with us this season and every person has told me it's too expensive for them now. This place isn't what it used to be - it's a money grab now. Comparing it to surrounding amusement parks and spending the same amount of money just doesn't feel right. This past Saturday will likely be our last time visiting Belvedere. The value simply isn't there anymore. read more

Such a fun place to visit! They have exciting events for kids like pig races that are sure to make you smile. There's a candy cannon that shoots out treats and fireworks creating a perfect ending to a delightful day. The 5-cheese sandwich is delicious, and the staff is friendly. It's a fantastic spot for families and anyone looking for a good time! read more

Really disappointed with the fall activities. We were there on a Sunday morning, and it wasn't too busy, but the lines and wait times were horrendous. At the price we paid for admission, things should have been far more timely. The wait for food was insane, and with little shade provided, it was unenjoyable, and ultimately led us to leave. The fact that one needs to purchase a punch card to purchase one singular donut is asinine. With admission being so high, I should at least not have to wait in a line so long. read more

Me and my friends and I had such a great time here! It's a great place for some simple fall fun with your family or friends. It's very kid friendly too! We did a lot of activities like painting pumpkins, picking flowers, paintball shooting, a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, and the corn maze. The corn maze felt like a hike, lol. I wish I would have worn more comfortable shoes. But we had a good time! For the pumpkin patch, it was a carry as many as you can for a certain price. It was fun to see how many we could carry out of there. We had a great time, we want to visit every year. read more

My family and I love visiting a good farm in the fall with the kiddies and usually trek to our favorite (Cox Farm) in Centerville, VA. This year we relocated to Stafford, VA and found Belvedere plantation, Sneads Farm and Brades Farm. I hesitantly decided to try Belvedere in Fredericksburg, VA hoping it would be at least half as nice as Cox. The price was a little steep, but Belvedere exceeded my expectations. The activities were great for our 3 year old and two 8 year old girls. Some of the activities included: 1. Pig race 2. Zip lines (toddlers & older kids) 3. Pumpkin painting 4. Animal feeding & Petting 5. A variety of Slides 6. Corn play area and sand area 7. Foam gun area 8. Kids Tractors/bike go kart ish activities 9. Bounce pad 10. Sunflower and wild flower picking 11. Hay Ride to pick and cut pumpkins 12. Fire pit areas to make a fire and sit and chill The treats were delicious but beware of the bees. Most combos were between $8-$15 and included fries and drink. 1. Salmon sandwich 2. Cheese burgers 3. Pizza 4. Chicken tenders 5. Funnel cake 6. Frozen apple cider and apple cider swirl (has soft served mixed in and a apple cider donut. No picture because I was swatting bees. They also had a bakery with gourmet cookies, fudge and other treats like kettle corn, apple cider, jams, candies and much more. Again overall everything was pretty nice. 1. Wasn't too crowded 2. Free ample parking 3. Friendly staff 4. Very clean bathrooms 5. Hand washing station outside bathroom and petting areas with plenty of soap 6. Covered and uncovered eating areas The only down side is that it is a little expensive as we went during a holiday weekend. The kids and adults had a great time! Glad we gave it a try. It was nice enough that we got the season pass and decided to skip Cox farm this year. The value was better for a family of 4 to get a season pass. read more

There was just so much to due I'm not sure how you are suppose to due it all in one day. They have weekend hours were they are open longer but durning the week they aren't open very late. We arrived when they opened stayed til they closed and still didn't get a chance to due everything. Everyone was friendly and kind minus one older lady to the front that was rude when we asked about the hay ride everything was great. However were not going to let one bad apple destroy the bunch. I wish there were more water locations around the farm even if i had to pay for a bottle. At one point i was so thirsty i just decided to fill up my bottle with a nearby hose. The prices online are listed individually however, once you arrive, you pay one flat rate for the adults at the front, and the only thing that cost extra while we were, there was an additional colorful slide. Overall, it was a great experience. I look forward to going back. read more

What a fun place to be! We came here for a nieces birthday party and they have tables that you're able to reserve for a couple hours to host your party. They have cider, donuts, hayrides, plunking, etc. Definitely allots to do here as they have a lot of land and everything is well enough spread out. Excited to come back here again in the future! read more

The kids and I had such a great time! Very huge plantation with lots of activities including a little farm with animals. The staff is friendly. Due to COVID-19 you want to reserve online. No cash is accepted. It was such an awesome day trip. I had posted our trip on FACEBOOK and that same weekend bunch of friends with their families ended going. Loved it! read more

4 people plus a punch card was 126.00. Not including food which was another 60 plus dollars. Not horrible except the pizza were DISGUSTING and raw dough.

I understand there may be a staffing shortage due to COVID , or other restrictions but accepting as may customers as possible with out having the staff to support that just leads to a poor experience. Food and drink was virtually impossible to get unless you wanted to spend time in the extremely long line, to which we were told they were closing that section ........ our 2nd and last year coming read more

We recently moved back to the area from CA and have very fond memories of Belvedere Plantation in the fall. We took our kids every year the 4 years we were here. So, we immediately booked for the 6 of us to go online. Fast forward 4 weeks and as we are getting everyone ready to go, we get an email saying our refund has been processed. Ummm... so we call and they say they closed for rain. Totally understandable. I get it. Not mad. We asked if we could just use our tickets another day and were told no. There's "no way" they can do that because of their "system." Ok... but we paid $155 for our tickets. We got "refunded" $80. She told us we can not be refunded for our All You Can Carry Pumpkins. We booked new tickets online and ended up spending another $30 due to "fees" and I highly doubt we will ever see the rest of the money we just spent for no reason. Needless to say, our trip is a little stained and we are disappointed with Belvedere before we have even been this year. I get things are stressful with COVID. Systems and processes are different. But $155 is a little hard to swallow when budgets are already tight this year. Trying to be understanding with Belvedere canceling and all, but they should be understanding on their end as well and at least refund us the excess money we paid. read more

We purchased advance tickets for their Fall Harvest Festival. Unfortunately, it ended up raining the date/time we selected and Belvedere Plantation opted to close the Festival during our time slot that day. To be clear, we didn't choose not to go because of the rain, it simply wasn't an option as the business was closed. It actually was barely raining and we would've been happy to still visit the farm. We were only in town for the day and live over 1.5 hours away, so realistically we won't be able to return without a huge inconvenience and simply asked for our money back -- as the didn't provide us the services that we paid for when they decided to close. They have refused to refund us, citing their "policies", which sound unethical, at best. Avoid. read more

Yaay - Pumpkin Patch! I took my four-year-old here on a weekday and he had a blast. The admission is reduced on weekdays but take note - they don't offer the full complement of rides and entertainment on those days. But there was still plenty to do and lots of fun for everyone of all ages. The pumpkin patch itself is one of the largest I've seen and there is plenty of perfect shaped pumpkins for all. In order to get to the patch itself, you must take a 10 minute hay ride to the location and the kids love the bumpy ride over the Belvedere farm. In addition to the patch, you have all sorts of neat rides and attractions - large slides, a pillow bounce (uncovered moon bounce), a barn rope, bean horse races, tractor carts. They also have farm animals like chickens, turkeys, sheep and pigs - and the kids can feed the goats from their hands. There's pig races in the back where kids can participate and win prizes. In addition to all the fun, you have a country store selling traditional farm goods like apple cider, preserves, kettle corn and frozen do-it-yourself pies. Belvedere Plantation is a great spot to take the kids and the weekends are maximum fun. I highly recommend for people who live in and around Fredericksburg, and it makes a great alternative to Cox Farms for those of us in Northern Virginia. read more

Overpriced since the last time we went there. It was $53 for me and my son to get in. There is no military discount! The lines are way too long. They charge for some rides too. Bring a container and quarters for the food to feed the animals. When we put our quarter in we only got a few pellets. My son did have a good time since we met other kids and parents there. The price may not bring us back next year. read more

very clean they are sanitizing the slides and the burlap sacs - they clean the jumping pillow and clean all the hayride trailers after each use. They are doing reservations to limit amount of people. They are really trying only thing I would do different is the fountain drinks - I'd switch to bottled drinks. Hand sanitizer all over and hand cleaning stations in three areas and constant cleaning of bathrooms. The maze was super fun!!!! Turkey legs were delish - skip the funnel cake - overcooked. The slushees outside then corn maze was refreshing reward. read more

Went here with the family bought tickets online $22.00 per person. Farm has lot of activity for the family, Cornhole, huge corn maze, pig race, swing for the kids, slides for the entire family.great time with the family I will definitely come back again for another event in the future. read more

It was a cute farm and great if you have small children I'd day like under 8. But other than that it's not that great. The corn maze was a nightmare to complete and you have to pay for the best slide and for the pumpkin painting as well as the paintball thing they have. It was already expensive to get into then you have to pay for the best part. Cox farms if much bigger, more sides, more activities and you get a free pumpkin at the end of your trip. read more

We have always enjoyed Belvedere Plantation, we went on 10/29/2022. We were there from 4pm 9:45pm. It Truley was worth the entrance fee, we stayed and watched the fireworks which I am told they only have firework on Saturday. It was great fireworks show. Price of a ticket has gone up a teensy bit. (Like everything else) You can prepurchase fun ticket or all day passes and save 25% off. The food is good and reasonable priced, I will definitely buy a all-day pass for ten dollars next year, it was the better buy. There were more attractions this year for all aged children. It is supposedly short on employees, but I did not notice. I felt like everything went smoothly. Thanks I'll see you next year, read more

Made a reservation in August for a field trip for 65 kids and 30 adults. Called a week in advance to check on things. Person answering phone was very gruff and had no answers for my questions. Called the day before our trip and was told the kids would not get pumpkins. What? Taking 6 year olds to a PUMPKIN PATCH and not getting a pumpkin? " it was not financially feasible " was the reason. As 3 buses of kids pulled up the next day, we saw a field with well over 300 pumpkins just sitting there. We will not return and will not recommend. read more

I had such a great time at Belvedere Plantation; it was my first time picking a pumpkin! And surprisingly it was a bit of work to get it off the vine. They have activities for all ages. Be sure to buy ticket online and bring your cards- they no longer accept cash which was a bummer. The highlight for me, outside of the pumpkins, was the pig race. They do have a very large corn maze but it closes one hour before close. They also have a wagon ride over to the pumpkin patch, and there was so many pumpkins to choose from! The only thing I was disappointed about was not getting some sort of talk or engagement about the history of the plantation or the types of pumpkins harvested. They sort of just pick you up and drop you off. It's a bit of a nerdy request but I would have loved to learn about the crops and the types of pumpkins on the farm. COVID-19 cleaning procedures are in place but other visitors were not masked once inside the areas so just be mindful of that. read more

Belvedere Plantation - This is a corn dog my mom ordered. This is how it came out of the kitchen (minus a bite on the end). - Festivals Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Our 2nd year visiting during the week. This review is for a weekday visit. Today, not crowded... EVERY staff member we interacted with was welcoming and extremely friendly. So many activities to do with kids from the bounce pillow, fun barn, tractor ride out to pickup your own pumpkins, mini zip lines, slides... new this year tube slides, pig races, yard games, train/tractor ride, sand yard with toy trucks. Many open spaces to eat shaded/tented. Real bathrooms that were clean. The concession stand looked/smelled wonderful. A lovely way to spend a fall day. Not crowded as it was during the week. I can't say how the weekends are but can't thank the staff enough for making today a truly wonderful fall day. read more

The plantation itself seems nice from what we were able to briefly see. Why I'm giving it 2 stars is because of their bogus hours. We drove down from Woodbridge to have a family day and celebrate mine and my son's birthdays and we paid for admission at 12:55.... no hours to be seen and the older woman working the window did not bother to say they closed for 3 hours at 2PM. We didn't know until an employee walked up to us while playing with our toddlers and informed us we needed to leave. So needless to say I had to drag my boys out kicking and screaming while my husband hunted down a manager to demand a refund... this was after another customer told us the last hour they just let you in for free. They went ahead and refunded our money and I now know to go ahead and just brave Cox Farm than come back here and waste so much time. read more

I normally don't take time to write a review unless I had a very pleasant experience or I had a very bad experience. If I could give NO stars, I would. I was asked by my sister to go Belvedere Plantation over Columbus Day weekend this year (2014) as an alternative to Cox's farm, which we normally go to every year, and here's my take on it. These are what Belvedere has that Cox Farms does not and my thoughts. I might have missed some other attractions that required the additional purchase of tickets, but we didn't buy them because we thought the admission ticket and pony ride was enough.: 1 - pony rides: Yay! My kids love pony rides, and this was probably the highlight of the whole day. UNFORTUNATELY, it was $6 a ride, and they only walked the kids in a small circle two times. And I didn't see any relief ponies or breaks for the 2 ponies they had there, so I'm wondering where PETA was and why they didn't complain about that! 2 - zip lines, pedal tractors, basketball hoops, sandbox, bounce pillow, spiderweb: all with short-lived enjoyment factor. 3 - pig racing - They only had one quick show, and we missed it, and they didn't have another. 4 - pumpkin cannon - Fun to watch at first, but loses appeal quickly too. 5 - pumpkin patch- you have to take a 5min tractor hayride to the patch. Once there it's a field full of pumpkins. Again, nothing special, and oh by the way, pick your pumpkin and pay $0.65 per pound for it. Typical price at most farms, but there's no cart for you to use AT the pumpkin patch. You have to haul your pumpkins back to the tractor and only when you get back to the main area, do you get to use a cart. Good luck finding a small one for little kids. You also get to pick flowers as an "added bonus". 6 - train barrel ride - Only for little kids. It's a short 5min ride in a few figure-8's and one run through the the "corn fields" which weren't really corn (see #13). The tractor driver was also very rude. My niece had her 2 kids in one barrel, but she changed her mind because she didn't think the older child could hang on to the little one. The older child cried and was upset. After not even 2 minutes, the driver said rudely: "well, i guess you're just going to have to take him out of the cart". Hello?? There were no other kids in line waiting to ride, and it was only our group of kids riding. Half the barrels were empty. He was a jerk about a TODDLER crying! 7 - the "Maize" - this is supposed to be a maze with 3 different finishing times that you pick. This wasn't a corn field. This was a sorghum field and the crops were only about 3ft high. You weren't ever really lost. Don't let the tall flags that they give you fool you because concept of a maze doesn't really work if you're tall. Now the things Belvedere had that Cox's Farm also had: 1 - goat petting zoo - I don't want to rant on because I could, but they should call this the "not-petting" zoo. They make you sit on a bench and wait for the one or two goats they let in come to you on their own accord. No chasing, no going towards them, no petting on the head only the back, and they said it would be a 15min turn, it was less than 10 minutes. Small kids were crying because the 2 goats in the pen chose to go elsewhere. A child tried to approach one on the way out, and the attendant rudely said: "please don't chase them, they're not in the mood to be petted today, maybe next time". I only saw one other "petting show" after that. The rest of the day, you were only able to pet the goats through the gate IF they came up to you. At Cox's farm, there's a free-range petting area and kids can stay and pet the goats all day if they wanted to. 2 - hayride - Yes, at Belvedere you take a hayride to the pumpkin patch. That's all it is.. a ride to the patch. At Cox's Farm, the hayride is at least a bit entertaining. Little sights to point out for little kids to see and then a fun ride through a decorated barn. Belvedere had nothing but one lonely scarecrow along the way. 3 - mountain slides - These were more like hill slides at Belvedere, and at that, they only had a few, vs Cox's Farm and their huge slides ... several of them. All in all, I would have expected the price of admission to Belvedere (same as Cox's Farm!!) to have more attractions. I will never go back, especially after experiencing such rude staff people. I'll fight the crowd at Cox any day because I know at least we will ALL have fun and you feel like you got your money's worth in admission costs. Plus Cox's Farm now has live shows and everyone gets a free small pumpkin upon exit. I wish people who hadn't had the opportunity to visit other farms could see how little Belvedere offers or cares about it's patrons. It truly felt like they were only out for your money at Belvedere Plantation. read more

Go! So many fun things to do. I brought my 6 year old daughter and my friend brought her 7 and 2 year old. There was a lot for the kids to do and I would go back with adults too. We went on a HOT day (90 degrees) and stayed for over 3 hours and we missed doing a few things so plan to stay for the day. I wouldn't pay for any add ons in advance but plan to buy lemonade $5 for a delicious large cold cup, $9 for a large bag of yummy kettle corn popcorn, and bring quarters for the pet food to feed the goats. Our kids loved that! And we loved that there were tents for shade, plenty of clean bathrooms, and places to wash our hands. Every employee we encountered was helpful and kind. All the activities were perfect for this type of place and even though this is an hour from where I live I know we will go back again before the season ends and go every year for as long as we can. read more

This review is specific to the Pillow Bounce at Belvedere Plantation and written from the perspective of and at the request of my 7 year-old son, Desmond, who went there for a school field trip "The attendant only gave us (his small group of 1st graders from school) 1 minute on the pillow bounce and we were not happy about this. It's terrible. How you would like it if your son only had 1 minute? You would hate it, right? I know that there are other groups waiting, but 1 minute...Who would like that? I do NOT recommend this pillow bounce. I did not even have time to get on my stomach and crawl across the whole pillow bounce. No good at all, right? I do not recommend going to Belvedere Plantation. The girl who was telling the kids what to do (the attendant at the pillow bounce)...She wouldn't let us go on there with smaller kids even if we promised to stay away from the area where the smaller kids were jumping. I do NOT recommend Belvdere Plantation!" ***Mom's (Tamara) side note: In addition, the pumpkins, gourds and the like were .65 cents per pound. It's a little pricey at the plantation, but it's always nice to visit the place where I went on field trips every year when I was a child, too. :-) They didn't even have a pillow bounce back then. In defense of my son's review, the time on the pillow bounce was very short. During the initial part of the visit, the kids were taken to an area near the animals where they got to learn about bees. The two ladies, who were reading from cards to tell the kids about the bees , were nice enough, but obviously did not know much about the subject they were educating on. At the end, when they opened up the floor for questions, my son asked what happens if the worker bees were not done by the time winter set in. Instead of offering to find out or even acknowledging that he asked a question, they pretended not to hear it and then it was suddenly time to move on to the next section. Nice way to teach the kids. What ever happened to knowing your material? Preparing before teaching? Product knowledge? The pumpkin patch that they kids are taken to is a different part of the patch from where the "not with a school group people" get to go. It was a smaller-sized patch of pumpkins. There were still some nice pumpkins, but they were all on the smaller side. Parent chaperones had to pay $17 to attend and watch the children, though we did get one of the baby pumpkins, too.*** read more

Very mediocre experience. Recently went to Belvedere for the harvest festival & we ended up waiting in the wrong line for almost 20 minutes because there wasn't clear signage. We visited the corn maze and the gentlemen that were overseeing that area were very sweet & very helpful. We tried the large maze & failed miserably. We had to wave our flag to get rescued. Having people carry a flag was definitely a great idea! The corn maze experience was the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars. After the corn maze we took a walk around, and I realized that almost everything was geared towards small kids. I have no problem with family events, but it definitely should be advertised that way. The harvest festival should be advertised as a kids event. We decided to grab some food before we left & that was a nightmare. It didn't seem like there was any sort of process to purchasing the food and picking it up. All we ordered was a pretzel and a funnel cake. Unfortunately those 2 items were located in different areas, so we had to try to guess which would come up first. Luckily there was 2 of us, so I waited in one area & my bf waited in the other. After 10 minutes of waiting for my pretzel, and watching other people with way more complicated orders get called before me, I asked what was taking so long and I was told it would be just another 2 minutes. Sooooo, another 10 minutes later (20 minutes total), after we had already received and consumed our funnel cake, we just decided to leave. It was beyond ridiculous. Definitely will not be returning. read more

I do not recommend this pumpkin patch to anyone, let's start with the lines for food and drinks, we stood in line to wait to order for 20 mins only ordered two cokes and a bottle of water we got our cokes within 2 mins seems about right well then we wait 13 minutes for a bottle of water!! What?? Did they have to go to the spring and bottle it themselves?? Next we had the numerous amount of adults not following the mask guidelines inside the buildings... around very small children! Then there was the hay ride that for some reason thought it was okay to do an extra pickup before letting anyone off the first time lord that's a long ride! So now moving on to the staff... wow where to begin they drove the John Deere's like they are on their way to a fire at all times on the same trails our children are walking on. The staff are not following the mask guidelines nor are they following the 6ft social distancing guidelines that are state mandated! My daughter had my 3 month old granddaughter with us and had to ask an employee who was within 2 ft of us mask down to please take a step back, her response "excuse you?" And took a step forward! Her age was at least early 50's!! Wow I'm so very disappointed Belvedere I have never had such a bad experience guess COVID got you!! read more

We drove in from Fairfax as a change from Cox Farms. The price seemed steep. However, when we got in, there was plenty to do. I have a two year old daughter and she loved it. There were several slides. Also, there was a place for kids to bounce. My daughter loved it and didn't want to leave. The corn maze was pretty amazing. It took us about half an hour. They have three courses ranging in complexity. We chose medium so that my wife and I would have a challenge along with trying to entertain our daughter. The medium course ended up mixing with the hard course. We found that out because we met people that cut in front of the line that chose to do the hard course. We still beat them in the maze! At one point my daughter wanted to ride the pedal tractors. Of course, she is too small. She started crying when I had to pull her away. The extremely friendly staff came out to give her a snow cone, complimentary and had a few nice words for her. That is pretty spectacular and rare these days. Overall, had a great time. Excellent idea if you have kids. All staff that we encountered during the day said hi or offered to help and in one worker's case, just wanted to talk while our daughter played. Thank you all and we will be back. read more

This was our first visit to Belvedere Plantation with my family minus my oldest. We went on a Thursday although I wanted to go on the weekend when everything is open and the hours are longer. I still had a good time although it was so windy. I had never visited this pumpkin patch but it was really nice and very large. My favorite part was the hay ride, although there was no hay on the ride. Which was fine by me because that stuff is itchy. The pumpkin patch itself is massive and you could spend hours picking out the perfect pumpkin. Just a tip wear very comfortable shoes because it is a lot of walking. Most of the workers are friendly and helpful. The guy at the corn maze was awesome, as well as the guy that was working at the the tricycle ride for the little ones, he was nice. Sorry I don't remember there names but it was last Thursday if that helps. Very very nice scenery to take lots of pictures which we did and I loved how they had the place decorated. The little snack places weren't open which was a bummer because I was looking forward to getting a funnel cake. The corn maze was awesome we opted to do the shorter side, which completed in about 15 minutes. My little one was so excited and we let him lead the way with the safety flag. Oh and the animal farm was nice, we got to feed the goats and sheep. I wish I would have known in advance that we had to pay for the food to feed the animals. I would have brought some coins in to purchase some food. They keep the food in those candy dispensers for .25 cents per turn. There was a nice lady there that was also feeding the animals and she gave me a quarter. So sweet. I just don't carry cash, but I know for next time. Let me end this review because I could go on forever. Overall I would go again, definitely on the weekend and when the weather is good. read more

We only went because we were short on time, otherwise we would've gone to Cox Farms. There's not too much to do at Belvedere. They should either improve or lower their price. Also the food was terrible. $9 for a sub with the cheese not even melted. The hamburger was dry. The turkey leg was mediocre. I will say that the funnel cake was delicious. Poorly set up with a line of about 8-10 people waiting while one person cooks. read more

We took the loooonnng drive out to Belevedere for the first time Saturday as an alternative to our annual Cox Farms visit. Let me save you the trouble (and gas)...If you're in NOVA, it's absolutely not worth the drive. Ridiculously long lines (both inside and outside), broken rides, rotting pumpkins, worn equipment, boring attractions and VERY EXPENSIVE. We had a Groupon so received a discount but the admission costs are crazy for what they offer and once inside, it gets worse (think $7 for a PBJ sandwich ) We definitely won't be returning. read more

We went here for the first time Oct. 2015. It was terrible. Where to begin. Ok first off it cost $17.50 per person !!! Yup you heard that right...I have never heard of paying that much to go pumpkin picking...and on top of that if you have little kids (we do not, we were there as a couple) many of the fun things for kids are NOT included in the admission price. We went there primarily for 2 reasons : 1. The Corn MAZE and 2. To pick our own pumpkins. The corn maze was only up to your knees..YES you heard me correctly I am only 5 foot tall it was up to our knees...when I asked a girl that worked there why the corn maze is only up to the knees she said "oh we had a bad crop this year from too much rain and then had to re-plant and then it was to dry". I said "well why don't they post that on their web site???? Alot of teenagers and adults come primarily for the maze...so they didn't let anyone know it's only up to your knees so they can still get the almost $20.00 admission..huh...?!?"...she said "oh I'll mention to the owners that you said they should post something on their website about the maze"....mmmm hrmmm... The pumpkin patch was ok at best...however, on top of that $17.50 per person fee we then had to pay $.65/per pound for the pumpkins. I have to say I am shocked that a farm charges that here in VA...I lived in NY , Long Island my whole life where things are generally more money..the farm there is $5.00 to get in. Shame on the Belvedere Plantation for NOT mentioning on their website about the maze read more

My family and I went last year and we loved it. We rented a camp fire spot and had dinner and roasted marshmallows. It was a lot of fun. We are definitely going back this year. read more

Overpriced but fun! We always go on free teacher and a friend day and buy VERY small pumpkins. I mean SERIoUSLY expensive!!

This was our first year visiting Belvedere Plantation's pumpkin patch. We had so much fun taking our son !! He was able to run all around and do all of the activities instead of wasting time standing in long lines. Definitely recommend for a fun family fall day!!! read more

My family usually comes down for the weekend from pennsylvania every fall to go to the plantation. Every year the price goes up but this year has hit a all time ridiculous high. We will not be going this year because of the ridiculous pricing. I don't see why an adult who is going to just walk around should pay 17 dollars. Our group would have paid over 220 dollars to go. The kids actually enjoy going there and they have fun, hopefully they will reduce the prices or work something out to lower the price of the adults so we can go next year. read more
