The cows are my favorite! I wish I could give this place a 5 star but this last visit we lost 2 kids in our group because the hay stacks have two exits. I wish they could block one side off. Also, a SOBER, careful adult in our group almost got plowed in the head with one of those hammers from the strong man game while she was walking by a man doing it. They really should put a staff member there AND put a fence around it. Those adults having fun aren't looking around every time they swing... it's a recipe for disaster.

I went on a Saturday with my family which included two toddlers. It did get pretty packed, so getting there earlier the better, or just coming on a weekday if you don't want to deal with long lines or overcrowding. The Apple Cider and Apple Cider Donuts were delicious! I honestly wanted to come back here just to buy some more. They have plenty of other drink and snack options, too. The staff was pretty nice too. There's many things to do like a swing ride, petting zoo, and hayride -- all very fun. I will say, $40 per person is pretty steep for a pumpkin patch. While I had a good time, I kinda had to force myself to do everything to feel like it was worth that much money. Overall, I'd go back, though.

I'm an educator that went to Odyssey Fun Farm Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maize with about 50 students…read moreranging from 11 to 14 years old. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, and the weather was perfect to have fun at the Punkin Patch! The price per person was $14.50. I feel that this fee was overpriced. There are not enough activities here to charge this much money. They could at least offer a discount for the large group that attended. The highlight of the trip was the Corn Maize. It is huge and takes about 45 minutes to find an exit. The students enjoyed the corn shooter where they could shoot guns at the targets. I rode the hayride 2 times, which was a very quick, boring ride. It appeared to stop and run out of gas. We were stalled for a few minutes. The kiddie tractor pull ride is for small adults and children, but it was a very slow ride. Many students enjoyed the petting zoo, which contained goats, donkeys, etc. There was also a bouncy area for kids to jump on. The food was extremely mediocre and overpriced. I paid 13 dollars for a small, nasty piece of pizza and an order of fries. I do not recommend the food. Parking is free and they have a big lot. Every person received a pumpkin as they exited the farm. The kids had a lot of fun outside, but I feel that it wasn't worth the prices.

This place was very expensive for what it is. It also markets its corn maze as something very…read moreimpressive and in reality, the corn stalks were all dead and black, barely higher than 3 feet tall, and you can see in all directions. They do have some good kid attractions that as an adult were pretty fun. There is a giant inflated "pillow" jumper, which was very bouncy and fun. My sister and I came on a Friday and it was pretty empty. It's like a giant trampoline but shaped like a pillow on the ground. The second attraction we enjoyed was the corn box. It's a sandbox but instead of sand, it was corn. So much fun! But mostly because no one else was there, we were able to enjoy sinking into the corn kernels and making corn angels. Otherwise, admission was pricey for adults given that there isn't much to do. You do get 2 coupons with admission price. One coupon gave a few dollars off food and the other gave a few dollars off a pumpkin. This place isn't a farm really but like a plot of land. They do have free parking in the lot. I think this may be fun for kids on a weekend but not so much for adults looking for a fun fall day. We spent maybe 1.5 hours there, walking around and looking for a pumpkin. We came there for the corn maize and were disappointed but maybe our expectations were too high.

I can't believe I haven't been coming here for years and just discovering this place this year…read more This place is a great family farm for anybody of all ages. Most of the things here are free. Pumpkins that you can pick are at very reasonable prices. Food and drinks are at reasonable prices too as well as other merchandise and other fall related things that go on here. They had a corn maze that I did not check out at all. Visiting the animals was probably one of my favorite things at the farm. It's not jam-packed like a lot of the popular locations. The only downside I would say was that the staff is a little bit untrained especially when it comes to money handling since the one cashier when I was paying for pumpkins didn't know how to count cash even though I gave him exact change. Overall, you should not pass up on this place at all. 4.5 Stars

They have a huge play area with wooden structures such as a school bus, fire truck, and castle. My young girls enjoyed the pretend play on the vehicles and going on the slides. There is also a section with huge stacks that are perfect for climbing and taking group pictures. Some things to take note of: 1) There is a section with plenty of port-a-potties. We were there in the morning so the port-a-potties were all relatively clean and unused. 2) The food section isn't that big but service is quick. We tried the cheese pizza, poor boy, pork chop on a stick, cheeseburger, and donuts. We would definitely order the poor boy, a cube steak sandwich, and pork chop again. They did an excellent job with grilling the meats and both had a nice sear while retaining moisture. The donuts were mini-size and came in baker's dozen so it was easy for our young girls to dig in.

Not only that, but the steak tacos were more like grissel tacos less filling and more expensive! I wound up throwing away my food and drink, thats how bad the food and drinks were! That whole event should have costed only $10! Not $25! Will not be going to another event like this from this specific farm again!

This place is pretty large with a lot to do! They have a couple of different playground areas, a small train, a giant corn maze, jumping pillows, a giant slide, plenty of animals. There are plenty of places for photo ops and they even have a couple of places where it will take your picture and send it to you via email or text. They have a sports area where you can throw various balls. We missed the dino outbreak earlier this year, but my son still enjoyed the dinosaur walk through. It'd be helpful if they had some brushes in the fossil digging area. I tried their apple caramel pie. It wasn't nearly as good as another local pumpkin farm (Johansen), but it was still tasty. I feel like we didn't even explore every area of the farm and we were still entertained for a few hours.
