This is a COVID super-spreader spot. Only about 20% of the visitors wore their masks. I was disappointed. Please just be transparent: if you won't strictly require mask, you have to put that info on the website. For mask-wearers like me, it is disappointing and it made me feel disrespected for being around those who do not wear masks. I wouldn't visit if it clearly says on your website that masks are optional. read more

I'll be back EVERY year My little family & I enjoyed Peltzers so much that we went home so happy ! Okay so first off pricing, not expensive AT ALL. It was my toddler, my fiance & I, and it was a total of $17 for a pony ride, animal petting & feeding, & a train ride. The parking was free, as well as the admission ! Not to mention pig races were also free. Pumpkins were a little on the pricier side but it's a pumpkin FARM, which I didn't mind at all Anyways, we also purchased pumpkin spice kettle corn & it was AMAZING. Also sooo friendly staff & atmosphere, everything was just perfect. Prices on drinks were only a dollar for sodas & that was a great deal ! We didn't have the chance to try any of their food but we will next year We are so glad we had the experience we had for our first time pumpkin patching. 5 stars no doubt ! read more

Peltzer Pumpkin Farm - Beautiful pumpkins - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Temecula, California

It is a lovely farm and parking was easy. However, no one was reinforcing masks. Some of the workers were not wearing masks. The horses look like their souls left their bodies a long time ago... If I knew things would be this bad, I would not have went. read more

Our favorite pumpkin farm! With all of this Covid stuff going on we were very happy to see the farm doing what they needed to keep everyone safe. We took the kids Tuesday afternoon and was happy to see a majority of people wearing masks. Those that didn't have them on were social distancing. There were lots of great pumpkins to pick from, all sizes. The kids favorite thing to do is ride the train. The train driver was super fun and great with the kids. We have been coming here for over 10 years and only ever get pumpkins from Peltzer. Thank you for making visit safe for my family and always fun! read more

Just Recently had my wedding at Peltzer Farms and it was a hit!! So beautiful and the owners are so great, So kind and very easy to work with. The decoration they provide along with the venue itself is nothing less then a dream. Our experiance was wonderful for hosting a wedding, Very organized, beautiful set up, but most of all the people that run the venue and that you get to work with while planning simply made my experiance. Tiffany the wedding coordinator is great! Through all my last minute changes, Millions of questions she never hesitated to get back to me in a timely matter and in full detail. Carrie the venue Owner is so sweet, very easy to talk too. Her son was out and about helping out the whole night of my wedding which was so great and he was there to help in any way that he could. Sweet boy I must say. Thank you Peltzer Farms for giving me my dream wedding. I deff recommend this venue to anyone who loves the out doors, who loves vintage, and great vendors! read more

The fact that pumpkin patches still use ponies to entertain crowds is ridiculous. To see the ponies, go in circles over and over, with little kids continuously going on their back, is heartbreaking. No animal should be subject to this. I just can't even phantom their misery. Their eyes spoke a million words. Like a previous person mentioned, one pony had cloth over their eyes. This is the definition of animal abuse. Imagine, the confusion this pony was going through and how he couldn't see one thing, while he was systematically going in circles with children on his back. LASTLY, it was blistering hot on the day I went, and it must have been even hotter for the ponies. Again, animal abuse. This exploitation should be illegal. I will change my rating, when this pumpkin patch stops using animals for entertainment and profit. Also to the person, who said "we didn't know what we are talking about," who are you to judge the well-being of the ponies? Seriously? I was at this patch for hours, and I hardly saw the ponies be given water. Animals should not be used for your entertainment. It has been shown that ponies/horses begin to develop a curve in their back, because they have been sat on so much. Hmmm, does that sound comfortable? Again, ponies in the hot blistering sun going in circles for hours, how is that in any way amusing? Is it really that difficult to see the cruelty involved? Lastly, that's great that these ponies are rescued, but then they are used for profit? Why not let them live comfortably instead of using them for profit? read more

I came here for a baby shower this past weekend, it's a beautiful farm location amongst wineries. We were in a tree shaded area with plentiful white picnic tables and benches with plenty of room for various stations at the baby shower- food, cake, craft area, music, etc. I could easily envision this as a nice venue for a wedding reception as well. The light streaming through at 6 p.m. was gorgeous and perfect for photo opps. The trees were decorated with lights and feathers for the event, and it would be beautiful for customizing a wedding reception too- they also have outlets for your decorations that require power. I believe they are expanding to hold more events in this area, as well as creating their own winery. Worth checking out for a special event venue in rustic wine country. read more

We absolutely love this place. It's such a nice day trip for our entire family to enjoy. So fun for photos too! The kids love the farm and pig races and the adults really enjoyed the food truck on the weekend. Lobster grilled cheese, YUM! No corn maze this year, the staff explained that the drought has limited water and the owners thought it would be irresponsible to grow a crop that demands such a large amount of water. It's nice to see businesses thinking about their local community. Very cool. The winery just opened in September so we stopped by for a tasting after the farm. The decor was amazing and they had such a relaxing patio. We can't wait to go back for a date night. read more

Very small pumpkin patch. Very crowded. Not a great place for pictures. The petting zoo was mediocre, only pets are the goats about 7 of them running around the poor things. What got me were the ponies, strapped and going around in a circles for hours and hours riding around these kids. Smh. Do they even drink water ?! Snowcones are $5 bucks for a small cup! Wth! And they have served it to my son 3/4th of the way until I said something! Games are ridiculous, idk why they even charge for them, $3 for a bin bag throw, 4 tries and you get a cheap Halloween party favor. Come on !!! read more

Perfect place for some fall fun with the kiddos baby Jay's 1st pumpkin patch was a success, friendly staff,yummy food, fun games and rides totally worth it. read more

No monkeys. What the heck? Seriously. Not one monkey. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. I'm just so disturbed and upset. I asked the guy at the petting zoo too, and he confirmed it. No monkeys! read more

Great location for people of all ages. You get to drive a little bit in wine country and its not far from shopping, restaurants and Old Town so you can easily make a day of it. It's warm out there, my family was over dressed and we were there early! It was a little expensive but you're paying for the experience not just the pumpkins. Still, 15 dollars for an average sized pumpkin seemed a little steep. They had a band that played some Old Crow Medicine Show songs that happen to be a favorite in my house. All and all it was a good day but I think we will try another next year. Oh, and also if you're expecting a field of pumpkins it's not, the pumpkins are picked and staged on bales of hay. Not my cup of tea but it did the job for this year. read more

If you believe in covid and social distancing dont come here. Even though there is signs that say you are required to wear a mask, no one wears masks. Not even staff! People look at you weird for wearing one, super disappointing. The staff is not friendly either. read more

My husband, daughter and I visited the pumpkin patch yesterday. Staff were all courteous and helpful. Signs were posted about wearing masks, however, more than half of the people decided against wearing one. My family included. We felt safe as people were being conscious of keeping their distance from one another. We had an amazing time riding the "train", my daughter rode the horses, did the petting zoo and mining. They have multiple food trucks with amazing options that smelled/tasted heavenly! Always love visiting Peltzer and will continue to for years to come! read more

This little pumpkin patch is ok and it gets the job done for the little kids. It's a little expensive and operates more like a tiny circus. (You buy tickets and each thing requires a certain amount of tickets) There's a petting "zoo" (goats/sheep/and a couple other barn animals), face painting, pony rides, pumpkins, pig races (at certain times) and a corn maze. This place would be so much cooler if it weren't so expensive, if there were some food vendors and picnic tables, maybe some pumpkin carving competitions, and some scary things/decorations at the corn Maze. Like I said it's all right. If your looking for a true pumpkin patch, this is not the place. ... but if your looking for simple holiday seasonal fun with your children, you will have fun. read more

I had my son's 5th birthday here and was so glad it I. Everyone had such a great time even with it being 100 degrees out that day. The Peltzer's really know what they are doing. :) First off the picnic table area is shaded by a beautiful canopy of trees and is decorated to give a sense of whimsy and charm anywhere you looked. There are lots of great places to take pics. Second there are a ton of things for the little ones to do including a corn maze, train ride, gold panning, petting zoo, pig races, and pony ride so each one is bound to be interested in something. Third, the staff was friendly, especially the young lady working at the petting zoo. She was very patient with the kiddos. This place is such gem for families wanting to have some fall fun and is nestled in the middle of wine country so the drive is nice. We will be back. read more

Peltzer Pumpkin Farm - Panning for gold. :) - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Temecula, California

Was in the area over the weekend and decided to check this spot out with the family. It wasn't overly crowded, which I liked. Some of the attractions they offered were a corn maze, pony rides, petting zoo, train ride, and pig races. The corn maze and pig races were free, while the others ranged from $2.00 to $5.00 per person. For $20.00, my son was able to try out all they had to offer. As for the pumpkins, there were some Honda representatives handing out free pumpkin coupons upon entry. We ended up with three decent sized pumpkins at no charge. Oddly enough, this was not my first time at a pig race, and I thought they could have set theirs up a little better. The first place I went to (in Ventura County) had bleachers, sold refreshments, etc. Here you basically just stand in the sun for ten minutes waiting for 30 seconds of actual pig racing. My son seemed to find it mildly entertaining at best. He did enjoy the corn maze, train ride, and petting zoo though. As far as pumpkin patches go, I would say Peltzer Farms is about what one should expect from a pumpkin patch. If I were more into pumpkins, I probably would have given them 4 stars. If I am in the area again next year, I would likely stop by again, but skip the pig race. read more

Attempted to go to the pumpkin patch but couldn't stay because majority of the people weren't wearing mask or practicing social distancing and my daughter has type 1 diabetes. Was very disappointing that they are not enforcing the state mandate. Left and brought wine and pumpkins from the grocery store instead :-(. read more

Great pumpkin patch, it is on the pricier side...but they have tons of selections! It's great for kids! read more

This place was incredible. Pig races and panning for gold and a wine bar for parents. They could beef up the kids games a little bit but the petting zoo made up for that. Live music and food trucks as well! Pretty cool! We will be back!! read more

Wonderful, friendly, helpful and genuine people. We love coming here and do so many times in October for some fun! Highly recommend this wonderful farm. Much better than Big Horse down the way. They were rude and terrible. Left with crying kids and drove straight to Peltzers! We love Peltzer farms! read more

I'm so glade we finally checked out Peltzer Pumpkin Farm! They have a great set up, with a tone of stuff for kids. First off they had a great pumpkin selection and some of the best prices. Our daughter loved the petting zoo. They also have pony rides, a train ride, John deer tractor rides, gem mining and more. The winery is just up the hill from the pumpkin patch. It looked like they do have a bar set up at the pumpkin patch but wasn't open when we were there. Would have been nice to grab a glass of wine while looking at pumpkins. Also most of the activities don't open up until after 3pm. It's $2 per person to get in and most of the activities are done by tickets.... so how much you spend depends on what you choice to do. read more

It's basically become a spot for cheesy, basic "b" photo shoots. The employees have never been that friendly.

A great place to have fun - takes a lot of pictures. Watch kids having fun and running around. This is what life is all about. Great way to spend a hour or two family time. 2015 - was still in my drafts. We will be back 2016. read more

A toddlers paradise!!! I decided to take my two littles on a weekday morning when there was hardly anyone there. My son and daughter LOVED the little petting zoo. I can't think of any other pumpkin farm where you can actually go up to the animals and pet them up close. Definitely worth the few dollars that it costs to do this. If you are looking for great photo ops with your littles, this is definitely the place for it! We will be coming back with the hubs to check out the pig races and other stuff that we didn't get to check out last time. So happy we heard about this awesome place! read more

Peltzer Pumpkin Farm - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Temecula, California

A great pumpkin patch in wine country! They have a petting zoo ($2), pony rides ($5), and train rides ($4). Of course they have tons of pumpkins also. If you are a big decorator, they have every shape, size, and color you could want. Pig races were at 5 and 7 on Friday. Check the times before you go so you don't miss it. read more

I loved the location! Up in the hills, very quiet and refreshing environment. They have a little train for kids to ride, pony rides, a corn maze... They have a petting zoo which we didn't enter but my 1 year old got bit by one of the chickens through the fence, Not even 5 mins later another little girl got bit by the same chicken! That made me a little upset. Anyway, We did not get to see the pig races that day and I wish the pumpkins weren't so dirty, a lot of them were beginning to shrivel even. Took us a while to find close to perfect pumpkins, but overall still enjoyed ourselves. read more

Peltzer Pumpkin Farm - They have some cute picture taking crops spread out throughout the field. - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Temecula, California

If you say farm, then I expect farm. But this farm was just a small one. The pumpkin patch farm is just like a regular sized backyard filled with nicely arranged pumpkins. There was a pony carousel (live ponies) only good for kids up to 90 lbs. There was a small petting zoo as well which was watched all the time by a staff. There was a gold mine 5bucks per pail. The most enjoyable thing for me was the pig race. There were 4 pigs that need to race in a pig racing track. That was soo cute! For the adults, there was there winery where you can hang out and taste the wine. Oh did i say entrance is free?? So over all it wasn't that bad but not really good for older kids, over 90 lbs. read more

Don't waste your time. Way over priced on everything from a glass of wine to "looking" at the pumpkins. Terrible customer service. Not really sure what has happened to this once loved pumpkin patch, but it was definitely not like this before. If you do decide to go after reading all the reviews, bring cash. Lot's of it. Oh, and don't ask questions unless you're prepared for very short, flippant answers. Enjoy! read more

Took the family here for the pumpkin patch. Ive been to 2 other pumpkin patches that had corn mazes and this one was a disappointment, really small and way to easy. We bought some pumpkins, few of them did the mining for gems. also did the petting zoo. didn't get to see the pig races, not sure where they are especially since it isn't very big. We enjoyed the day but not sure if I would make the drive again from Cucamonga. read more

DO NOT go to the farm. The management refused to refund our skating charges (and we didn't even skate) and would only offer a credit-They must be hurting for money read more

Peltzer Farms is very nice place to bring the kids, they have a lot of activities for them to enjoy. It's located in wine country in Temecula. They don't charge for parking or admission into the farm or to check out the pig races, you can just come and walk around and sight see. They do charge for train rides, pony rides , petting zoo and gem hunting, you can pick and choose what you want to do and it's not very expensive. They have a Devilicious food truck with awesome food. Kids can ride ponies or ride a train, or walk through the corn maze (corn maze is free). Very fun place and peaceful! read more

Charges an insane amount just to use their location for a photoshoot. It's absolutely ridiculous.

This is for the ice rink, being a person that spent 8 years in the East Coast having an ice rink in the beautiful and amazing Temecula is very impressive and a very smart idea, but I would love to see the ice getting more care, we were there and ice wall all chopped, usually when the ice is broken there should be a person coming in n a little car cleaning it but not here, maybe if they had that it would be easier did the kids to skate, other than that it's great read more

It is a yearly tradition for us to visit Peltzer Farms Pumpkin Patch and every year it gets better and better! We are so happy to have been able to get outside and enjoy this amazing property. This year we came during the week and although not all guests were not wearing masks, we were able to keep our distance from others and pick out pumpkins from their great selection. Staff was kind and welcoming and we had another great year enjoying the farm. Highly recommend! read more

Today was so awesome at the farm. Definitely happy we went on a weekday. My kiddos loved the petting zoo and train! Such a great place for the whole family. Everyone was so helpful and sweet. We felt completely safe! read more

Waste of money worst pumpkin patch ever and they charge you to look at a pumpkin don't go

This place is great if you want to spend $20 on a pumpkin and $16 on a train ride. Surprisingly the parking is free.... what a joke. Staff is less than friendly. They wouldn't refund our 2yo train ticket after they said he needed one only to find out he was free. Not a loss at $4 but very poor customer Service experience. read more

This place was always one of our go tos for a pumpkin patch. Unfortunately over the past two years they have started charging admission, just to walk into the (store bought) pumpkin patch. This includes nothing- you just pay admission for the privilege to purchase something. On top of this the already pricey activities (train ride, panning for rocks, horse rides, carnival games and petting zoo) have become even more expensive. It's such a bummer what this place has become. read more

Amazing pumpkin patch and small business. My family had a great day picking out pumpkins and petting the baby goats. We especially loved that the employees were wearing masks, even the train driver, during these difficult times. We will definitely be back!! read more
