    Our favorite pumpkin patch in the greater Denver area to date. There is ample parking, an organized "entry" and "exit" design for cars, wide open spaces, great pumpkin selections, and activities for kids of all ages. This year, they have foregone the ticket booth and you pay by card at each activity station. I'm not sure I like the new system, but it does cut down on long lines to get tickets; however, it means you're putting a lot of little charges on your card throughout the day, and they are kind of pricey ($14-18 for faceprinting, $4 for a barrel train ride, $7 for bounce houses). Activities: pony rides, petting zoo, playground (with slides), barrel train, two corn mazes (some nighttime options, too), hay maze, bounce houses, corn launcher, corn pools, escape room, face painting, and various photo opportunities. The grab your own pumpkins are in the middle of the field. They have jumbo all the way down to handheld as well as incredibly large gourds. They have wheelbarrows to get pumpkins to your car, but because of so much theft last year, you will have to relinquish your driver's license to borrow one. My biggest disappointment (and it seems to appear across the board at all patches) is the lack of real food. Sure, they have frozen chocolate dipped cheesecakes, chocolate dipped fruit on a stick, popcorn, and endless amounts of candy, but I would love the opportunity for a hotdog or something a little more substantial. They do have a great beer selection though, and a cute little market where you can buy decorations, jams, popcorn, etc. Overall, I recommend checking out this pumpkin patch for your dose of fall.

    Goat petting enclosure - all animals were happy and well-cared for with clean water and food available.

    Ventured to the Maize in the City today. What a nice set-up they have. There were pumpkins, ponies, boucey things, corn mazes and lots of fun things for every family member to enjoy doing. Prices were very reasonable. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. We all had a wonderful day of fun. Great place to go. Thank you.

    This is a really great event - First of all, you can come check it out for free. By free, I mean that you can get in to check everything out at no cost. Much like a rural fair, you can buy tickets that can be applied toward any of the attractions at the event. We elected to check out the bigger of the two corn mazes, and felt that it was well worth the money. There are also plenty of things to do for the little kiddos - a petting zoo full of cute critters, a tractor ride through the corn, a giant sandbox to play in filled with corn kernels instead of sand, and of course, pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins!

    So many kids activities! They do not charge admission but you do pay for any activity. They do not have an actual u-pick pumpkin patch, just a bunch of already picked pumpkins for you to choose from. I love that they allow dogs, thank you! There's bounce houses, face painting, corn mazes, barrel rides etc. can check their website for activities and costs. Plenty of parking. Their haunted field of screams sucks though

    Nice pumpkin selection

    I had no idea what to expect coming out here as there are not any pumpkin patches at the beach. Grocery store or mall parking lot bounce house madness was what it was. Siri ,she thought she was funny by trying to mess with the directions. Sent me past the place , and turned me onto a random road and closed fence lot to literally nowhere! Turned around and I got into a car line that flowed into the parking lot . Don't wash your vehicles and then come here. It is a dirt parking lot with rows set up by flags. Saturday afternoon seem to be very busy ! Masks are required , social distancing by staggered entrance to the pumpkin patch itself is being enforced. Some people are not being mindful while waiting in line of staying 6ft away. That's really a hard thing here. Maize in the City admission to chose or "pick" a pumpkin is free ! Pumpkins , depending on the size vary from $5 all the way up past $20. The line seems like it would take a long time to get in , but it actually goes quickly, about 10-15 wait. I was in line about that long on a very busy day. There are Port-a-potty's , hand washing stations , sanitizer throughout the area. They have limited free use wheelbarrows if you can snag one. They have a Haunted Maze at night and you buy tickets online I believe. They have a regular corn maze too. They have a food area that sell snacks and drinks on one side and the other window is for glow products , hats, shirts , haunted maze merch. They have a wooden playground structure and kids are so wonderful and patient waiting in line for their turn. Some people were wiping in between. They have photo op sets throughout the area too. Behaved pups allowed it seems. The checkout line area has small mini pumpkins & gourds , even for a $1. They sell some carving stuff too. Nothing fancy. The checkout line goes amazingly quick, you can pay with cash or credit /debit via the SQUARE system. Tap or use chip. Good use of my time.

    Bouncy houses!

    We didn't actually try the maize here. I know! But we had a great time. All of the employees were friendly, and this is a good choice for families with young children wanting a more low-key pumpkin patch experience with fun kid activities. No fee for the pumpkin patch, though you have to pay for your pumpkins, of course. The pumpkins are reasonably priced, and there was still a good selection the weekend before Halloween. Our daughter especially loved the four bouncy houses and the pony ride. She also really liked the train ride and the petting zoo. You have to pay extra for those activities, and we thought it was worth it to skip the crowds at other places: $6 for all-day access to the bouncy houses; $6 for a pony ride; $4 for the petting zoo, which includes a small cup of food for the animals; and $3 for a train ride through the corn stalks. If your child is 4 and under, one parent can accompany the child in the petting zoo without an additional charge. The train is only for kids, but you can walk behind the train if your kid is a little anxious about riding alone. There are also a couple of free activities: a playground structure and a corn kernel box, instead of a sandbox. And they have fun fall cut outs for pictures and sell food and drinks, including alcohol. We didn't sample the food or drinks this time, so I can't speak to those. But I can say that Maize in the City is a fun pumpkin patch outing without the crowds, which definitely makes me a fan!

    The Fall Festival was a lot of fun, and its's free. There is a lot to see and do. Good food and good prices. I will definitely go again.

    Beautiful Saturday afternoon!

    Had an opportunity to check out maize in the city on a Saturday afternoon. They offer trivia maize or regular. We opted for the trivia. Questions were fun. It wasn't overly crowded. It took us 32 minuets to make it out. We were given a card to punch out at diffefent check points in the maize. We were able to turn the cards in for a free tiny pumpkin or gord. This was a nice touch and a great way to start fall. Most of thr other activites, bouncy house, petting zoo etc were geared towards younger kids. Next time I'll try the hunted field of screams.

    Great for little kids and wide selection of pumpkins. Several bounce houses and a fun play area.

    They had a mini corn maze and a "crazy" corn maze so I chose the crazy one since I was trying to be brave.

The proprietor was quite nice and provided some very interesting facts and stories about the animals. Our son is almost two years old and was a bit hesitant at first but by the end was walking up to the animals and feeding them by himself. The animals all have movie star and celebrity names - very cute, and are all different colors. It was a bit hard to find and Google Maps first took us to the upper parking lot of the Red Rocks complex. But I was able to call and they provided us an address by text - the small farm is up a dirt road off the main road to RR. The whole experience was about one hour. Be prepared to get some hay on you! I recommend the experience and it is quite unique.

    A Truly Memorable Alpaca Experience…read more We visited Smooth Alpaca Experience as a group of six, ranging in age from 12 to mid-60s, and every one of us absolutely loved it. Joe was wonderful -- fun, informative, kind, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire experience engaging for both kids and adults alike. We especially enjoyed getting to know all of the alpacas, along with the hilarious three brother goats who definitely put on a performance for us! We learned so much about alpaca behavior, personalities, eating habits, the shearing process, and the care involved in raising them. It was also fascinating to see the finished alpaca products, including socks, hats, gloves, sweaters, and blankets, and to better understand the process from animal to finished product. Overall, this was a unique, educational, and genuinely enjoyable experience that we would highly recommend. Joe made the day extra special!
