Our favorite pumpkin patch and corn maze! I've come here for many years and have enjoyed the various activities this farm has to offer. It gets crowded on the weekends so be prepared for lines. When you arrive there is a ticket booth near the parking lot to get ride tickets but if you walk further into the venue there are other ticket booths with much shorter lines. We took our 1 1/2 year old son on the cow train and he loved it. The corn maze is super fun and nice they have trivia questions along the route so you can answer questions to see which way to go. read more

What an extremely fun spot to plan an afternoon or make a pit-stop from a weekend back to the East Bay. This was our first trip to G&M Farms in Livermore and it was incredibly special and actually quite the fun surprise off the freeway. As we were coming home from a night away, we wanted to stop and have a moment with our little amongst the pumpkins and support an East Bay pumpkin patch. As we were about to pass Livermore, we saw signage and oodles of fun happening for G&M Farms so we pulled off. There is so much to do here! You can grab a red Radio Flyer wagon and truly go hunting for the perfect pumpkin within the patch itself, or if you're on the hunt for more smaller pumpkins/gourds there is a whole gift shop/farm store that is so incredibly cute for basically every pumpkin vibe you can imagine. Plenty of spots to stop and take pictures with friends or family. There's a corn maze, drinks/snacks like mini donuts, popcorn, and corn dogs, and speaking of corn..oh-em-gee! Truly wanted to share a review for this reason alone. Looking for a sensory activity for your little? There is not a sandbox, but a giant CORN box for play. The adults also tried it (essentially we just put our feet in and it felt surprisingly really nice. Something unexpected and truly unique, fun, and interactive. We also noticed a few other activities on the pumpkin patch side like a tractor/train ride and I'm not sure if there was a petting zoo? Regardless, worth a trip if you haven't made your pumpkin haul yet. Plenty of room for strollers and very spread out. Can't wait to make the corn box an annual tradition. Looking forward to truly enjoying the patch next year with more time. Thank you G&M Farms for the memories! Still finding little corn kernels ;) read more

Location is great! Close to freeway right off of 580. We love coming here because parking is easy and free and there is no entrance fee. There's also plenty of photo opportunities throughout the place and a good selection of pumpkins. We'll be back every year :) read more

We've gone to G&M Farms in the fall a couple years now. We went this morning and had so much fun! The weather was perfect. It was already busy at 11am, but it is a Saturday so that was to be expected. The prices for the pumpkins were very reasonable and they had quite the selection from gourds to bigger pumpkins. We got a lot for $44! Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here last year for a little halloween weekend trip. I would say that G&M farms is one of the better pumpkin patches you can go to around East Bay in terms of overall value and fun. For one, the parking lot is free, something other places do not offer, and for those that do, are not nearly as expansive as G&M. The main costs are food, souvenirs like pumpkins to take home, and the corn maze, which isn't too expensive either. Because it is free, getting there early is a must. In terms of the actual area, there is a large pumpkin patch with rows of huge pumpkins and wagons to do little photo-ops at. There is a large barn area to get souvenirs, mini corn haystack maze for the kiddies, haystack truck rides, and other areas for photos. But the real fun comes with the maze, which probably is spookier at night-time (but you would have to risk coming later and not having as much parking to go around), but still a lot of fun in the morning/mid-day. Each year, the layout changes and at the beginning you can see a picture of what it looks like on a poster as well as online at their website. There is a beginner section and normal section that we both went to. The beginner one is fairly easy as it says, and we did not have to do any backtracking. The normal one is a bit more confusing, with us getting caught in loops or dead ends a few times but they do offer checkpoints along the way with trivia questions that aren't all hard (they have different trivia depending on age so older folks can challenge themselves) and your answer dictates where the checkpoint points you. We answered wrong once and thats how we got caught in a giant loop. It does get hot in Livermore so do wear a hat if you want to do the maze. Overall, it's one of our favorite Halloween memories. read more

Best pumpkin patch ever!! Their corn maze was sooo fun and tricky (they even have a spooky version at night), there's things for all ages truly, and so kid friendly. read more

Honestly, I was going to give it 4 stars, but my partner says I should give it 5 stars, so here we are. Haha. We came here yesterday afternoon, specifically for the corn maze. It is split into two parts. First part is shorter and easier than the second one. Before you start, they have an aerial picture of the maze that people were taking to use as a guide. We decided to not do that as a challenge. There were also the many previous years pics too, so that was cool to see all the different patterns they have done. At first, my partner stated $10 a person seemed a bit pricey for a corn maze. But then during the beginning of the first half, there is a some stairs and you can climb up to have a bit of an elevated view. We soon realized this corn maze is huge and not some kiddy thing. At this time, he said never mind it is worth the $20 for us! There are some trivia stands which give clues on left/right, but again we like a challenge and opted out from reading them. First part wasn't too hard. In the middle of the second half, we got stuck and was lost. We kept going in circles. It was hot and we were thirsty without any water. We finally found a trivia/clue stand and ended up using it for the rest of the maze. Happy to be done as we got tired. Spent over an hour in here, so it was a good use of the $20. There were also a pumpkin patch and some other things for kids. We did not see the others as we realized we spent more time than we thought and had some other plans. He said he thinks he saw pony rides and some kid rides. read more

The corn maze is a great spot for the kids to run around, get lost, etc. Clues guide you toward the next set of clues, and ultimately to the exit. Upon exit, there are inflatable jumpies because the kids likely didn't burn off all their energy. Taco trucks nearby and picnic tables. Good place to spend a couple of hours. Take note: Parking is cramped on the weekends. If you have small kids, make sure they go to the bathroom before they enter the maze. read more

First time at G&M Farms and it didn't disappoint! I read it was one of East Bay's best corn maze and had a bunch of other fun activities for kids (cow train, pumpkin patch, jumpy thing, hay maze, corn pit - kids love that). Very popular with families, come earlier when opens at 10am for less crowds. Corn maze was fun, split into two halves, first half shorter and second half longer. At the beginning there is an aerial picture of the maze you can take a picture of and use as a guide if you get lost (we challenged ourselves not to use it). First half had a little bridge you can climb up for an elevated view but you still can't tell the path anyways. There are some trivia stands which give clues on left/right. Spent about 40 minutes total. $10/adult. Pay cash to avoid the 30 cents per person credit card processing fee. Enjoy food from food trucks onsite, or head over to nearby Livermore Outlets or Ranch 99 Plaza for lunch options. read more

I came with a group of friends. None of us had been here before. Pros: admission Free, free parking, strong pumpkin selection, ample seating with picnic style tables Cons: -no real food options. We saw some families bring their own picnics. -$7 corn dog of gas station quality - Icees. They had small and large(more like a grande cup) but refused to give us a Large bc they said they were too busy so were only doing smalls. So I guess they couldn't spend the extra 30 seconds to fill a large. Disappointing. It was also a super hot day! They only had cherry or the blue one. No coke option. -they had 2 food trucks near the corn maze. There's poor directions throughout and I only knew about the trucks bc I had read ahead of time about this. Most folks got stuck at this snack booth bc they thought it was the only food option and also most of the kid attractions are here. - they had a kernel pit for the kids. Small in size but people crammed like sardines. Um, no thank you. This seemed to be the only free attraction for kids, which explains why it was so packed. Everything else you pay for. I saw pony ride, tricycle ride, jumper thing near the corn maze, and a tractor thing that did a small loop. We did the corn maze @$10/person. It was incredibly hot this day and just made the whole maze experience so tiring. For $10 they could include a water bottle with it bc the last thing you want to deal with is a person who fainted. Overall, if you have kids, this place will be fun for them. But if you're just a group of friends like us with no kids, you're only thing to do is the corn maze and then after that you're pretty much done for the day. It's not a big place. They could benefit from a haunted house or something for adults to do. A hard cider tasting flight, more food options. Overall, I would not return here. read more

The family had a great time. Make sure you arrive EARLY if you are going on the weekend! Cars start to line up to get into the parking lot a good 20 minutes before the farm opens. G&M is very budget-friendly because there is no admission fee or parking fee. So as you can imagine, a lot of people come here and you might need to wait in line for popular attractions like the cow ride. Because we arrived early, we were lucky enough to hop on one of the first few cow rides without waiting in line at all and my son had a blast! The activities they have all cost a token ($5) per person with the exception of the pony ride which is two tokens ($10). The kids liked the jump pads, but there is a time limit (something like 7 minutes?) for how long they can jump when the farm is busy. My sister told me one time she came on a weekday, and they let her daughter jump as long as she wanted. The kids had fun with the mini hay maze and the corn kernel pit. But for some reason, my allergies started flaring up around the corn pit (probably because there was a lot of corn being scooped and thrown around). Not going to lie, this kind of ruined the rest of the day for me since I began sneezing non-stop. So PSA to those people who are affected by seasonal allergies: take your allergy medicine before you come!!! Pro tip: there are multiple stands where you can purchase tokens if you run out. The one near the parking lot tends to have a long line as people begin arriving. But if you walk past the pumpkin patches towards the central area, there is another token stand near the entrance to the cow ride that you can buy tokens at too! I observed the line here generally will be shorter than the one in front of the parking lot. read more

G&M Farms - Cow ride! Apparently our cow's name was Patty. - Attraction Farms Near Me - Livermore, California

This place had a fun corn maze. Glad we came here, lines were long but worth the wait.

An east bay pumpkin patch classic. Pros: Free admission, decent pricing for attractions (most rides are $5/person, $10 for the corn maze), tons of picnic seating, some food vendors, free corn kernel pit and smaller hay maze for the kiddos, good selection of pumpkins, sufficient porta potties, and even some farm animals Main downsides- it gets crowded, so you'll want to get here as early as you can. The hay ride was short and barely lasted 5 minutes. There is very little shade- so you'll want to come on a cooler day. read more

Had a very happy time in the corn kernel pool today, it'll be better if the pool is larger, since this is the only place with shade and everyone is hiding here. The trampoline area is totally exposed to sunlight and I'm afraid these kids will get a heat stroke if they keep jumping there. There are a lot of pumpkins and many of them have very unique colors and shapes. There are only very few food and beverages to select. read more

What a great spot to take family free parking , free entrance they have food trucks and lots of activities some cost tokens and the pumpkins WOW reasonably priced $10 dollars any size from the field cannot even beat that price for what you get at Trader Joe's their corn maze is fantastic definitely a great day that won't break the bank for a family read more

VERY nice Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. It's very popular so I would go right at open or near closing, we left around 11:30 and the parking lot was full so everyone showing up at that time had to park far and walk over. The best thing is so many things to do, lots of kids rides and games like tractor pulls and a bounce thing, you pay for tokens to go on these rides. Our kids loved the simplest attraction, there was an enclosed area that they filled with dried corn and they loved making "corn angels" and squirming around in it. The corn maze is full size and not a tiny one, if you want to do the whole thing I would set aside 30 minutes to an hour depending on how fast you are. Lots of drinks and food options available, two food trucks at the front and two in the back. There are lots of free wagons for pumpkin hauling, they are all parked in front at the beginning of the day but get more rare as the day goes on. The front area has rows of normal pumpkins to choose from, the area near the farm building has the more decorative ones that are odd shapes and colors. read more

Fun for the whole family. The patch I normally go to in Sonoma was closed this year so we got on the Yelp site and found this one. It was a wonderful almost exact replica it is to what we were used to. What a great great pumpkin patch. It was a fast convenient drive from where I left only about 40 minutes. 3 minutes. And it takes you out into the countryside. It had all the things that would draw me to a proper pumpkin patch. As. Aside from the pumpkins it had it had hayrides, petting zoo, corn maze, sales room, and various it's other things that were provided to keep entire families occupied. It had a great large picnic area too. There were a couple other rides there that looked like it would be great fun and one of them was called the cow ride and it's pulled by a tractor and it's this long line of these little cars that hold 2 people that look like cows and that was very popular. The hayride to me seems a little short but what can you do the property isn't gigantic. The energy of the kids and the happiness in the singing and the smiling and the costumes for Halloween were all wonderful to see as they ran around selecting the perfect pumpkin to take home and carve. It's as it's as it should be. read more

The good: Entrance and parking are free. I came today on a Sunday so there was a bit of a holdup with the parking line. You must get in line for tokens to go on the rides or experience the attractions. There's so much to do here! They had a corn kernel pit for kids to play in, bouncy floor areas, a hay ride, a tractor ride in barrels, a small construction vehicle race track, animals to look at (goat, sheep, cow, etc) and more. They also had at least 5 food trucks. There were photo opportunities with some wooden cartoon cutouts. They provide wagons for you to carry your pumpkins. The prices were very fair ($9 for a regular pumpkin, $4-8 for speciality pumpkins in medium size & $1 for various smaller gourds and pumpkins). They also sold kettle corn and other fun snacks. The bad: The soil was a little damp so our stroller wheels needed to be cleaned afterward. I'd recommend a stroller with big wheels or a wagon. The larger pumpkins weren't as beautiful as the ones at Spina Farms in Morgan Hill (the ones there were large, shiny, had twisty long stems and almost fake looking because they were so beautiful). The interesting: They're not open on Halloween because they don't open on Mondays. They were featured on the David Letterman show. read more

Free parking and free entrance! Lots of things to do for the whole family like corn maze, jump beds, hay maze, tractor rides, and more. All attractions, with the exception of the corn maze, take tokens which you can buy at $5 for 1 token. Hardly anything was in the shade, so if you go when it's hot, bring plenty of water and a hat. Such a wide range of pumpkins too! And it was all reasonable prices. The pumpkins were nice and round. Nothing was rotten or misshaped. Definitely a great go-to for the fall season with the whole fam bam! Enjoy! read more

G&M Farms corn maze was named the best in the Bay Area by Timeout.com and I can see why. It is one of the biggest in the area. It consisted of 2 parts, sprawled across six acres, with stalks rising 12 feet tall, making an impressive design that spells out the farm's name. Various trivia stations in the maze offered clues to guide you in the right direction. While the corn maze is the star attraction, there are many other attractions for the whole family. There's the pumpkin patch, farm animals, pony rides, hay wagon, corn pit, bounce platforms, hay maze and even a Barnyard 500 (like Indy 500 but with toy tractors). It is located right off freeway 580, so it is easy to get to, and parking was not too bad, with the staff pointing the way. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Have always loved this maze and the staff are always friendly. Parking lot is always full when they are open! Just shows you how much people love going there. Tradition to go every year. read more

The maze is good but it is not challenging. As we just following the kids go around to find the exit. It takes about 25 mins for 2 mazes. I hope they combine 2 mazes as difficulty one. Other activities at the farm are fun but just too hot to stay outside. read more

We look forward to creating new memories with our family every year at G&M Farms. We have been coming here the last 3 years, and they have the best large pumpkins for carving compared to other pumpkin patches in the area. Admission is free, and you can buy tokens for the rides. There's a corn pit, and hay maze that's free for toddlers as well. I liked that they have Radio Flyer wagons available for your pumpkins, makes for a cute photo op with the kids. There's a few farm animals on the farm, and paid pony rides. Our favorite pumpkin patch in Livermore, we'll be back next year! read more

What a great experience. The corn pit was a blast. They have a bunch of rides and food trucks. Corn maze was my personal favorite. We will be coming back next year. read more

We were looking for a pumpkin patch for our toddler, and G&M Farms in Livermore was conveniently less than 20 minutes from us. G&M turned out be a pretty large facility, with ample makeshift parking with friendly attendants guiding the way. Located right off the freeway and easy to find. Pumpkin patches offer lots of fun activities for families with young kids especially. Somehow watching little ones interact amongst pumpkins of all shapes and sizes is fun. They'll do deep squats to see the pumpkins up close and some of the older kids will deadlift them off the ground, LOL! Pumpkin patches offer more than just pumpkins though. They have live animals like sheep and sometimes cows and horses. You and your kids can also learn a bit about farm life and find lots of rustic backgrounds for photos. Other free activities are a small corn maze and a pool filled with corn kernels (think SF Museum of Ice Cream). Pay activities include pony rides, train ride through cornfields, and a haystack ride. I saw two onsite food trucks (Hawaiian BBQ and Gyros/Kabobs) and a place for buying popcorn. Plenty of shaded seating areas for lunch. I do recommend the train ride - its sort of fun to cut through all those rows and rows of corn. Plus, the train doesn't move super fast so perfectly fine for the little ones. Definitely had fun at G&W and will likely add pumpkin patches as an annual fall activity. read more

Every Fall we love going to this farm to ride the tractor, get SO lost in the corn maze and shoot pumpkins out of a cannon!

Corn maze was fun!! We went during the day and there wasn't many people. The pumpkin patch was very cute as well. And the corn pool was so much fun for the baby!! read more

We got there close to opening. Took 4 grandkids under 5 years old into corn maze and all of us made it out! The large bag of kettle corn and our water bottles were essential as well as a wagon when legs got tired. Kids also had energy to jump. It was a fun memorable day. There are a lot of young workers in the maze to help. All the workers were very polite. read more

Came 1 hour out of town for them to have a small sign that says "Closed due to rain". (It's not raining) On top of that the phone number connected to the farm is out of service. Will not be visiting back. read more

I went on there opening day and there was no people there only one worker not even the whole park was open and there was no food only to put pumpkins that was all and I WILL not be returning. read more

We were back for our 2nd year this year. I actually wanted to go to a different pumpkin patch this year, just to try somewhere different. But after doing some research, this was actually one of the best pumpkin patches that wasn't over an hour drive away from the East Bay. No entrance fee. I do strongly recommend coming at opening time because it gets pretty crowded. The pumpkins are reasonably priced. They have little red wagons you can use to haul your pumpkins around (no riders, but sadly parents don't seem to read). Free activities: Haystack maze, corn pit/pool. Paid activities: Cornfield maze, giant jumpy pillows, cow train through the cornfield maze (my favorite; if you can fit your kid on your lap, they'll take just 1 token for both of you), tractor ride, pony ride (super overpriced... 2 tokens to let the kiddos go around the circle 3 times), big wheeler trikes. You'll need to purchase tokens to exchange for rides. I think this will be our go-to pumpkin patch every year, unless we're feeling adventurous and up for driving over an hour from home. read more

Came here with our 4 year old today and she had a blast. Radio flyers to borrow to tow little ones. There are a few photo ops here and there but not nearly as many as other ones. they had some cute little rides. The cow train was actually a fun ride through the corn maze. Tickets are about $5 per ride and pony rides are $10. Parking was east even on a busy Sunday afternoon. Wish they would allow leashed dogs but no pets allowed. read more

The best news is that parking and entrance are free! There are lots of things to do with kiddos and can easily spend 3-4 hours between the pumpkin patch, corn maze, bounce house and rides. There are also a few farm animals to see! Overall, I highly recommend making this a family event as it is a good time with food trucks as well. I went on a Saturday evening but highly recommend getting to the pumpkin patch before 5:30p as it closes around 6p even if the rest of the farm is open late. read more

Came here for the pumpkin patch and we had just the best time!! We started with the corn maze and we're so impressed with the set up. They change the maze every year to look like different artwork and they have all the previous designs laid out before you enter the corn maze. It's very cool. The maze is $10/person for anyone over 5 years old. It took us maybe 40 minutes and we were somehwhat taking our time. There are cute clues along the wah to help you decide which way to go and the kids got so excited about these. I also appreciated that the maze wasn't SO difficult that we were stuck in there for hours or going around in circles forever. We then looked into the rides and those are a little on the expensive side, but we decided it was worth it and bought 6 tokens ($5/token) and that way each child will have two rides and mom and dad could have one each. We went on the cow train and the girls did the pillow trampoline thing. The cow train had a decent line (we came on a Saturday night), but we got on in about 30 minutes and it was a fun and fast 5 minute ride going through the corn and on these fun dirt bumps. The girls had a blast and mom and dad went on this as well and we enjoyed ourselves! The girls loved jumping in the pillows and stayed there for about 5 minutes as well. We didn't end up buying a pumpkin, but I felt we spent enough there. We definitely would like to come back here next Halloween and maybe when our kids are a little older we can do the haunted corn maze! read more

We went for the haunted corn maze (it is on 2 Saturdays in October). Parking was free, portapotties on site with wash station, we arrived at 7:15pm, there was a long line to get in about 45 minutes. Right before entry you buy tickets but can also buy kettle popcorn (good pricing, the small bag was pretty big but $5. corn maze entry was $10). With so many people in the maze, it was hard to feel spooked but walking amongst the corn maze at night with a cool breeze was beautiful. Early on in the maze there is a stair area where you can briefly arise above the maze for a view which was neat. The quizzes along the way that hint the direction were fun. I was reading one of them when I noticed a giant bloody birdman breathing next to me and I almost screamed but laughed. I wish there were more jump scares along the way. So 95% of the time it was a corn maze at night. Regardless, it was a fun nature experience. the farm was well organized, there is a jump area for kids as well as a pumpkin patch (the patch closes at night when we were around). There is a Mexican food truck, a mini donut stand with drinks. read more

Came here last month since me and the gf thought it would be fun to visit a maze and pumpkin patch before Halloween arrived. While we were initially eyeing HMB and the pumpkin festival it hosts annually, the thought of the dreaded traffic down 92 was enough for me to seek elsewhere. Searching on Yelp, I stumble on G&M Farms and discover that they have a giant corn maze! Upon arriving, the parking here was pretty packed. However the parking lot is pretty decently sized and despite the parking attendant telling us it was full and to pull into the lot and turn around, the gf spotted a couple heading to their car so we were able to snag a spot pretty close to the entrance. It's hard to get a true gauge of just how well done this corn maze truly is until you start to walk through it and realize that it is shaped in the same pattern as shown on the design handed to you when you walk in. While it is a fairly linear maze in the sense that you can easily backtrack, it is made to be more family friendly than to be scary. Plus if you are truly lost, there are clues throughout the maze that will point you towards the right direction should you be able to answer 1 of 3 questions correctly. Cost for the maze is $10/person on the weekend, but you can save $1/person if you print out a coupon from their website prior to going. Plus, the picture of the maze they give you is also a $1 coupon if you decide to pay it forward and give it to someone else in line so they can save some money. There is also plenty of activities for the kids such as a giant bouncy ball, a miniature train ride, pony rides, and a corn kernel pit to jump into. For the adults, there are some cute farm animals to see, pumpkins and gourds of all shapes and sizes to buy, and some of the most delicious, and freshly popped kettle corn I have ever had! Parking is free here, however everything is cash only so make sure to hit an atm or the bank before hand. Definitely a great, fun way to spend a few hours with your family or SO, and something I look forward to trying again next year. read more
