    Pumpkins of all colors!
    TammyLynn I.

    We went on a weeknight and honestly... I don't think I can ever go back on a Saturday again. Free parking, barely any crowds, and not a single elbow to the ribs. Absolute heaven. We rented one of the fire pits (best idea ever), did the train ride, tried the new rides, grabbed cider, and of course -- a caramel apple which gently removed kiddo's tooth. Everything felt easy, relaxed, and actually enjoyable instead of the usual pumpkin-patch chaos. The only bummer? Now we're totally ruined. My son thinks this is how pumpkin farms always are, and I'm not ready to shatter that dream with a weekend crowd. Perfect fall night.

    Such a perfect fall day trip! About 30-45 minutes from Sacramento, Bishop's Pumpkin Farm is way bigger than I expected -- there's literally something around every corner. Monday-Thursday has free entry and free parking, which is the move if you want to avoid the weekend crowd (weekends are free entry + $10 parking). There are tons of food options -- a bakery with cookies + milk buckets, a BBQ spot with sandwiches and burgers, pizza, and the Cider House where you have to try the cider slushy (even better as a float ). There's also a cute gift shop with farmhouse-style home goods and snacky treats. Activity-wise: Pumpkin Patch Sunflower & Corn Mazes Petting Zoo (donkey, pig, horses, peacocks, goats, turkeys + you can feed the goats grass in a little cone for ~$3) Pig races (weekends only) Carnival rides + a huge slide that adults and kids can both enjoy And you can even reserve private fire pits! They use a ticket system (about $1-$1.25 per ticket), and most attractions range from 3-5 tickets each. Overall: So wholesome, super fun, and genuinely a great place to spend a fall day. Highly recommend going on a weekday for a more relaxed experience

    Wonderful time, family friendly, and has everything we've been looking for in a spectacular Pumpkin patch - Bishop is THE place to be in the fall season! Biggest tip is to save yourself the pain - go early in the season otherwise be ready for tons and tons of crowds and their grandmothers to overcrowded this lovely pumpkin patch. We got wrist bands for our girls to try everything they could but even without having to pay for any rides and such, there are playgrounds and lots of fun activities for kids to enjoy for free! We went early enough in the season that we didn't have to pay for any entrance/parking fees. Oh and their parking staff did a tremendous job in directing traffic to open spaces - its the small things like this that matter so much! Sure, there's traffic to get there, but it's worth it. Food is fantastic with a wide selection, available activities for kids are vast and tremendous (slides, playgrounds, an epic tree house, farm animals, pony rides, corn maze for kids, corn maze for teens and adults, etc.), plenty of tables and seating spaces, and even some firepits to enjoy as the evening approaches! Can't recommend this pumpkin patch enough! Be ready to spend the entire day here and let your kids run wild as this place felt safe, comfortable (at least in the early season), and truly family friendly. Have pets? I think I recall seeing signs of no pets allowed so leave them at home, they'll be perfectly fine.

    Went back to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm for the first time in a long time, and it was such a great experience! We went early in the season, so parking was free -- nice bonus! We bought wristbands for the rides, which were a bit pricey, but definitely worth it if you plan to spend the whole day there. My favorite part? The apple cider slushies -- seriously delicious! The kids had a blast on the attractions, and our whole group had a really fun day. There's so much to do, you could easily spend the entire day exploring everything. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun fall outing!

    The fire pit experience was enjoyable. I have a few suggestions: ensure you have enough firewood for the entire 4 hours, especially considering the price we paid, man the entrance, and maybe add some fence lights. It was very difficult to pack up our food without any fire or lights in the area. Other than that, We enjoyed our time and the movie, the weather was perfect and the staff was helpful.

    Finally decided to stop by with the kiddos on Saturday morning, and I'm so glad we came early! We got there around 10:30am and it was busy but manageable. By the time we left around 2:30pm, it was packed. Parking is $20, so bring some cash, and wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking through dusty or muddy areas. Our first stop was Mrs. B's Bakery, and surprisingly there wasn't a line! I tried the pumpkin pie cake cup and it was delicious, creamy, flavorful, and worth the $6. The kids loved the playground and the little zoo area with goats, cows, pigs, and chickens. Feeding the goats (3 tickets) was their favorite part. I appreciated the hand washing stations nearby, though they really need more restrooms since the women's line was always so long. We rode the train, which had a long wait but was fun to see the pumpkins and animals along the way. The apple cider float was incredible, definitely worth the hype!! The personal pepperoni pizza, on the other hand, was overpriced at $15 for a small size. Overall, we had such a fun day and the kids had a blast. I'd absolutely come back again next year!

    We come here every year (for the past 5 years) as part of our annual family tradition. We arrive early to allow the kids to explore all the attractions and then we later get a fire pit to watch one of the night time movies. This is our favorite pumpkin patch for a few reasons, it's clean, so many attractions for kids, so many different food and drink options, free parking and tons of pumpkins. It's like a mini Disneyland. And the staff, they're all pretty young but so poised and very pleasant. Every staff member we seen always greeted us and wished us a great day and so very polite. You can tell that who ever does the hiring must really reiterate customer service. I'm impressed. The only tip is that if you plan to book a fire pit, to have a few people try to help you snag one. They sell out fast. We usually have about 5 people all online once they're released to get a fire pit. There's been talks about doing a lottery system for a fire pit which I hope they don't do. Anywho, definitely recommend coming out here. There's a little something for everyone.

    This is our third year visiting the farm and it's always an enjoyable time! Place is huge and there's always an activity for people of all ages! As always we did the big corn maze and picked our own sunflowers. We always get a bunch of gourds and pumpkins at the end of the day. See you again next year!

    Nice large, family-oriented fall attraction with pumpkin patches, corn mazes, train rides, and food stands. It's free admission but on the weekends you have to pay for parking. This is a great spot for dates or families because they have several play areas, rides, and other attractions. Went on a Saturday where it was super busy and the parking lot was full. They ran out of a lot of items and the food lines were very long because of the demand. Next time, I would go on a weekday and earlier where you can enjoy everything this place has to offer.

    We love this farm. Something for everyone, love the train, picking your own pumpkin, riding the rides, going through the corn maze or even planning ahead and having a family bonfire. This year we celebrated our granddaughter's birthday. So much fun for everyone.

    Came back to Bishop's after a couple years hiatus and had such a nice time! I was very hesitant after hearing about the crowds and parking struggle, but our visit was very manageable and low maintenance. There is a lot of foot traffic, but find that their website and paper maps provide a lot of information to help you create a plan for your visit! We prioritized trying their Cider Slushakie, feeding some animals at the petting zoo, and getting a few pumpkins. We ended up having time to squeeze in a fun ride on their new grain slide!! Everything we tried was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back next fall!

    This is definitely the best pumpkin patch/farm experience I had. I can see where people can spend the whole day here. There's so much to do here. Visit the pumpkin patch, ride a train, go down a giant slide, watch a pig race, watch a movie outdoors, etc. They have many different food options as well. Entrees, deserts, cools drinks, etc. I had a great time here and it will have to start being a yearly trip.

We went right at sundown, so we had that extra element of spookiness. You get a map, but it's really easy to lose your sense of direction in there.

It was fun choosing the pumpkins that become our jack o lanterns later, Pro tips: - if you go when it's truly dark, bring a flashlight for the corn maze - you'll get your corn maze tickets faster, potentially, if you pay in cash. when I went, they got their own fast line - pumpkins are cheaper in bulk. we bought 7 for less than $5 each (medium sizes)

This was an amazing find and exactly what I was looking for! It was well kept, super cute with lots of photo ops, plenty to do without being overwhelming or too busy. They have a small corn maze (takes 10-15 minites), tractor ride, a full fledged pumpkin patch, large hale pyramid to climb, and pumpkin shooter. There's also a small flower patch. Prices were very reasonable for whatever items you want to do, especially considering no cost for parking or entrance. There was a good amount of shade on the property which is super nice. Only 1 porta potty which is a big con for me, but since it's not too far out of town not the end of the world. Parking lot is big enough for the size of the place, gravel. Everything was stroller friendly for our little one. The girls working were sweet and even willing to take some photos for us with the cute pumpkin arch. There was 1 food truck on site but limited options. Probably plan to eat before/after. Overall, definitely intend to come back next year and make this a fun tradition.

We were going through the ultimate side with another family, and a little girl from their group started to feel a little nauseous. The nice man with the chainsaw noticed and walked her around to escort her out while still not breaking character for the rest of the group. Big kudos for that. I find it so so smart to have the setup that they do in regards to the first and second maze. The first maze is defining family friendly, no jump scares, a lot of cute spooky stops for the kids throughout the maze. Then if you upgrade to the ultimate side, you get to enjoy the jump scares with a bunch of murderers. So well done. They are even so great at guiding groups who may get a little confused on where to go (like us lol) without breaking character. Just an overall fun place to be. They also have a tower for an employee to watch over the maze for safety reasons or if anyone strays from the group and may get a little lost. We went during the daytime which was very very fun but I would totally recommend going at night if you're looking for that elevated scare factor because I bet that maze in the dark is exceptionally spooky lol. I wish we explored more of the other things they had out for people to do. Like, the games and prizes. I think they said something about a free movie at night that they project with popcorn. They also had a petting area for the goats. Overall such a great time. My kids have been begging me for hours to go back. Will probably do a night run sometime before Halloween and will definitely come back next year.
