My family loves Peltzer Pumpkin Farm! We go every year, as it is a tradition. Yes weekends can get very busy, buy that makes sense as most families can only make free time during those days. But if you can get to the Peltzer in the evening during the week, you can avoid the longer lines and enjoy some family time and snap great pictures! Even mom and dad can enjoy a glass of wine while the kids see the attractions available. We especially enjoy the Petting Farm and the friendly goats and their babies. We love seeing the same goats each year. Our children feel at home nuzzling with the sweet babies and playful mommas. Having 4 children, we have had the opportunity to come to the Pumpkin Farm on field trips on handful of times. The ladies who give the tours have great patience for the amount of children in our groups. Each time, they have been full of knowledge and my children have really enjoyed their time on the farm. So much that they asked to come back every year. Thank you Peltzer family for the continued memories each year. We love to support local farms, and love to call your farm our favorite! read more

We attended the Family Pumpkin Farm Night at Peltzer last night, and WOW--what an experience! This event, exclusive to wine club members, is truly one of the amazing perks of being a member. For just $15 per adult (kids were free with our tickets!), we enjoyed an incredible dinner of unlimited wood-fired pizza and salad, plus adorable dessert tables stocked with cookies and candy. Adults were treated to two complimentary beverages (wine or beer), while the kids got the cutest candy bags with tickets for rides and games. The ambiance was perfect with beautiful decorations and live music that set the vibe for a magical evening. All of this for only $30 for our family of four--it was an absolute steal for dinner and a night of fun! Huge kudos to the Peltzer crew--this is an annual tradition for us now! read more

Please don't go on the train ride for 6 dollars per adult. What a rip off. The train ride last about 2-4 mins going around in a circle. However, The place is good for photos and drinks. read more

Cute little pumpkin patch. Good place for the kids to play as you sip on some wine. The sangria is delicious. For the price, I would definitely go again read more

My children in first grade had a field trip here today. The employee doing the tour yelled at the children the entire time to stop moving, stop touching things, etc and made several children so uncomfortable they ran crying to their mothers. If you cannot allow children to be children, don't host field trips. Shame on you. read more

Very very cute pumpkin patch for a family with little kids. I live in San Diego and have been to some outrageously priced pumpkin patches before and was surprised by the reviews about the cost of items because I thought prices were actually reasonable compared to what you see here in San Diego. The train was pricey for the length of the ride, but everything else I feel was priced great. For about $11 (each child) each kid got to pet some goats (and baby goats which were stinking adorable) see an awesome tortoise, see some rabbits and an alpaca, the kids got to play a little carnival style game, and cruise on a John deer tractor. A cool place to stop by for a mug of sangria and tire some kids out in a safe space & would recommend checking it out at least once! read more

Very disappointed. The pumpkin patch is so so The pet farm is a joke, the poni rode is extremely sad, the train ride last like 2 mins (costs $6pax) the gem discovery is a 30 seconds activity ($6 too) It feels that the quality is close to zero and the main driver is to screw the parents/families every single dime without much in exchange. Sad. If you are into animals rights etc better not to go or it will make you quite upset. read more

Terrible! Terrible! customer service this whole place put a bad taste in my mouth and it all started with the older lady at the ticket stand. We had a wristband given to us to take our boys and she was like "well other people paid for it" well duh lady that's why I asked what we can do with it cause it was a gift to our boys. She gave my husband and I the ugliest look for having prepaid bands that were gifted to our boys who are 2 and 4 and which "actually cant get them much because it fully opens at 3". It isn't much to offer besides some goats and a few pumpkins to pick. DEFINITELY WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY! read more

It was wonderful day. Lots to do for the kids and adults. 6 good trucks to choose from. Great beer and wine too. A cool vibe. Only complaint is people trying to simply buy drinks had to wait behind people trying to sample wine. Caused a traffic jam. But I would definitely go back and recommend to all! read more

When looking for a pumpkin patch for our sons first Halloween, I was "that" mom that needed it to be IG perfect. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a great photo! So when I found peltzer I fell in love. From the cute tractors all lit up to the pig races, this place is like visiting a family farm for the holidays. Every inch of this place was cute and really got you in the Halloween spirit. Pony rides, pig races, and a haunted house area make it the perfect place for kids of all ages. The place was packed with people yet never felt over crowded or anything like that. Workers were friendly and even gave me a free water for my infant sons bottle. My son loves trucks so one fun thing was letting him climb around in the bed of the truck while we snapped a few photos. Mom win! Lol read more

Place is great, business is doing the best they can in light of COVID. Seems like some negative reviewers are really fearful of the virus and I wonder why they're even out in public if that's the case. If you're going to visit an outdoor establishment and assume risk, then that's on you. There's plenty of pumpkin patches NOT happening in LA & OC that might be more the speed for people wanting to be cautious. I'm glad the farm is open. I appreciate the risk they're taking by doing so in this particular climate, and appreciate the guidelines they have put in place. I do wish they would open earlier during the week as I'd go closer to 9 to avoid the heat. Happy Halloween everyone! Try not to ruin the fun for your neighbors by wrecking small businesses via angry and misguided yelp reviews read more

Giving ONE STAR because of how social distancing and face covering are literally nonexistent! Truly disappointed how this place isn't exactly following pandemic guidelines. Best believe I am all for supporting local business and want services to be open, but it's very irresponsible to not strictly enforce health precautions during a pandemic. If we really care of not spreading the virus and making businesses stay open in a safe manner, it needs to start within and the community. How lame that employees (with exception of front entrance) can't even model how to wear proper face covering nor actually have face mask to one and each safety. Every line we were, there was absolutely no social distancing nor markings to guide. And I'm not just pointing the blame to management, but also to all the people who were there (10/11/20) pretending this was like October 2019! There were sanitizer (more in the pony rides if I recall correctly), but with the dust lingering around, it's not the best bet to sanitize (dust roll in forming into a solid, tiny dirt if that makes sense.) It would be much appreciated if standalone washing area were provided which I think is very fitting for an outdoor event in any regard and very much needed especially at this time. We must work together to ensure safe reopening for all as everyone want normalcy. read more

I was excited to hear the Peltzer was creating a family-friendly environment. I thought, "wine and kid friendly, how perfect". The promotions of this said that there would be strict guidelines in place that limited the amount of people and required masks. I figured that the weekend would be a bit crowded so I waited until the end of the day to go. We drove an hour to get there and I was so disappointed. I loved that there was so many things to do, but it was packed. Their website says that they may need to close and let people in as others left, but it seemed to be a free for all. There was no one monitoring the amount of people, social distancing, mask wearing ( which was pretty much non existent) and there weren't any hand washing stations or sanitizer that was apparent. There were many places of large groups of people waiting for something that had no social distancing and people weren't wearing masks(see attached photo. I have video of other areas but it wouldn't let me upload). Peltzer staff was few and far between and didn't seem to be there to help reduce potential COVID exposure. I went to the Wild Life Safari a couple of weeks ago where there was more to manage and they did a better job than what I witnessed here. I let my son look for a pumpkin, which were all picked over by the time we got there, and then we left. On my way out, I saw a couple of other full parking lots for them with shuttle buses of people. To me, this was very irresponsible. I understand needing to be open, but not at the risk of causing spreading. Other wineries in Temecula have had to close due to COVID cases and I'm sure they wouldn't want to be added to that list. If they keep this up, then they'll be next. read more

I would not recommend this place, absolutely no face mask covering. Social distancing was horrible everyone next to each other. First time here and left within 10mins of walking there and back to the parking lot. If you have a little one I would think twice before coming here. It's really pack and you'll be the only one wearing a mask. A place for covid19 super spreader. read more

The Peltzer Pumpkin Farm is a TOTAL waste of time!!! The owner/manager/staff, COMPLETELY unprofessional with no concept of an apology or customer service. Our experience, we (myself, wife, and kids) traveled 2hours and 30minutes (with traffic) from San Diego to Temecula to visit the Peltzer Pumpkin Farm for Halloween. If you look at the pictures that I attached, one can CLEARLY see that the hours of operation posted is 9am-8pm. However, we arrived at 5:15pm only to be told that ALL the exhibits closed at 5pm with the exception of the pumpkin patch. When I asked "How is that possible? Your website says you're open from 9-8" the owner/manager/staff present said "we're open 9-8 until Halloween." Regardless of the fact that that's not stated accurately on their website or their google information. Once I showed them the errors online this was their response "yeah, that information isn't correct." Haha I'm not even kidding, not even a "Sorry" or a "We'll make sure to do a better job in posting out operation information" no, NOTHING. There was a parking lot full of people arriving after 5pm as well. I'm my opinion, this was by far one of the most disappointing and poorly handled experiences myself or family had experienced with a business and business owner. I would NEVER recommend this garbage place to ANYONE. Thank you for a complete waste of time Peltzer Farms! read more

Very overrated. By far the worst "pumpkin patch" we've been been to in socal. It's honestly just a bunch of bruised store bought pumpkins for 10x the price and poorly organized attractions for kids. Expensive and workers are extremely disgruntled. read more

Love the atmosphere!!!! So much fun! The staff is as sweet as can be. And the photo ops are perfect!

Hubby and I visited the pumpkin patch with family including grandkids. We visited during Halloween on a Tuesday afternoon, unfortunately most activities are not open until 4pm, no matter, we def enjoyed the festive fall atmosphere and ambiance. We took plenty of pics on the tractor, hay stacks and corn fields. We also enjoyed the winery and brewery on the premises of which we would def return. There is a corn hole game and plenty of seating to thoroughly enjoy the day and atmosphere with friends and family. Everyone one of the employees we interacted with was attentive and answered our questions and provided useful information. We will def visit again, Great service! read more

Don't go before 3pm on a week day as there is literally nothing to do but take some photos or buy $15 pumpkins. I imagine it would be a lot more fun on a weekend but I'm not returning to find out because there is no mask enforcement or social distancing measures in place here. read more

Yesterday my job which is a elementary school attended the pumpkin patch for a scheduled visit. Upon arrival we went to the tables for lunch. While we were there we were approached by an employee. With others around she spoke to the teacher that was in charge of setting everything up. She spoke very loud and very rude. Unfortunately the employee did not have a name tag on but she did have a piercing on the inside of her left ear. She told us that we were not on the schedule and that our kids could not get pumpkins. She also said that we did this last year. All not true. When the teacher tried showing her the email from Carrie Peltzer to the teacher she told her she didn't have time for us and that she had tours to do. Since I've been at this school we have visited this establishment each year in October. Unfortunately now after this. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. We never received an apology from anyone. This was for children not adults. This should have been handled a different way. read more

We use to love coming here but it's pretty overpriced now. A few years ago there was no admission charge. All the attractions cost a high amount of tickets! The great thing here is they serve alcohol and it has pretty views within the winery but we sadly probably won't return next year as the value has gone down tremendously. read more

Great experience we had a fun time. Parking was easy and many things to photo with. Food trucks and wine were their and had many things for kids to see and do. read more

Great family outing! This is our second time this season. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, over the course of our last two visits special shout out to Rachel, Reina, and Chase for their excellent customer service! This place is just ten minutes off of the freeway and has great scenic views (vs the place off the highway near Walmart in Murrieta) if you head out early you can see the hot air balloons near by and its gorgeous. There are many areas for family photos on the grounds at Peltzer. read more

It was every interesting, due to the fact it look smithing like the picture shown online. I feel like it's more of fashion show for women and a drinking party for the adult. They only had about 100 pumpkins of your lucky. There is no shade, it was hot, and definitely not worth the drive. read more

I drove out far out to a rural area thinking I could avoid COViD exposure in a more remote area. It was hot with long lines, it's hard with social distancing. There was a shaded area to kind of sit down and maybe drink water but all and all it was expensive (as they all are) and exhausting. I still think the one in Irvine is the best thus far. Riley's is good too but it is all so crowded and hot, eh. Here is hoping for a better year next year. read more

Pumpkins on the ground. A nice stroll around scenic Christmas trees. Make sure you see the ancient giant oak, largest in the Unites States. Probably not worth the drive from Temecula. read more

We really enjoyed the layout of this place and thought it was very smart of the owners to connect the winery with the patch. It's a nice shift. Although they have two awesome food trucks there, I was slightly disappointed that they didn't have much of a snack selection. Just the kettle corn and that's it. Not much for the kids to munch on as they go about the activities here. I love the activities here. From pony rides, to the train, the petting zoo, to the pig races, they were so much fun! I remember two years ago we did the corn maze but didn't do it this time. I overheard someone say it wasn't open. It's nice exploring here and seeing the vast collection of antique tractors and trucks. The boys had a blast on the tractor as I snapped away with my camera! I am not sure if they offer any military discounts. I would've asked the lady at the ticket booth but she didn't seem so friendly.. (they lost a star for that actually) but the rest of the staff (younger girls working there) were all nice. I think it's safe to say that we will come back every year! I would recommend this place if you have little ones, for sure! read more

The cutest farm you ever did see! We came here for my daughters 3rd year of fun pumpkin picking. I was amazed on how organized this farm is. There was several fun options from pumpkin picking, train rides, pig races, petting zoo, and riding the horses. This place makes for great memories and what is awesome for the parents is you can grab a class or wine or beer too ;) Loved that there was Kettle corn and a food truck in case you want a snack or want to eat a full meal too! Love Love Love this farm! See you again next year Peltzer for some more Pumpkin Picking Festivities! read more

We were in line for the pony rides for a long time. The pony handler is a rude inbred. My daughter was looking forward to ride this specific pony and once it was our turn he just grabbed the kids by the arm and shoved them towards the workers helping the kids saddle up. I nicely and I mean it, very nicely asked him "Hey my daughter was looking forward to ride that other pony would it be possible to switch?" His answer: Nope.. so I asked him "Why is that? " again his answer: "Because I say so".. I was aghast, if my husband was there I bet he wouldn't have answered that way. I just asked my daughter if she minds and if she's ok riding the one they aleatory and rather rudely and quickly put her on.. she said she doesn't mind so I let it go. We used to go every year but this year is crowded, pricy and simply not worth it. I called them the next day to let them know what happened, I wasn't about to run kid's day because of this incident, but all of you that are expecting a nice experience, especially if you have to drive far and pay high prices. It isn't worth it, pick a different pumpkin patch for your kiddos. read more

Loved the pumpkin patch this year!! As a mama of 4 it's can be a little crazy! ! So recommend the decorations and rides made my kids so happy! The workers were so sweet especially when my little one was having a melt down the worker Audrey helped and she was so sweet! Can't wait to come back next year!! Happy halloween! read more

We paid admission to enter a mall parking lot type of pumpkin patch where most of the pumpkins looked damaged and the ponies looked sadly malnourished. Paid an extra $5 for a snow cone, only for my son to discover they have a bee problem. Such a waste of money. read more

What a great place to take the kids and the family!! All things farm and cool can be found here along with some Vino!! They also own Peltzer Winery so that was a pleasant surprise. Animal station / petting zoo - kids got to pet and feed some different animals. Gem station - now I did partake in this as my kids love hunting for rocks. (Polished rocks) Pig races - super fun to watch and kill some time and maybe place a friendly wager with your spouse! Haha. Go Brad Pig. Pumpkins galore. Tips: Buy your tickets ahead of time so you don't have to walk back and forth with or with out kids. Also quarters for the feed is helpful. Bring some additional snacks and drinks just Incase you don't like kettle corn. There were two food trucks there but didn't try as we ate lunch already. If you don't like crowds go early...saw some people that NEEDED to go early and were stressing their kids out and mine. Above all, bring your camera and get lots of snaps as there are tons of places to get pictures of your kids having fun....something I forgot! Lots of cool backdrops (tractors, shaded areas etc) for a T-day or X-mas holiday card. It's a great afternoon with the family and grab yourself a glass of vino if you can to keep those "needed to go early parents" in check :-) read more

First time visiting and impressed! The petting zoo was great! Panning for gems and pig races are cool! What tops it off is the food truck with lobster grilled cheese! I'll come back next year for sure!!! read more

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

We've been coming here since my 2nd daughter was 5 months old, she's now 10. Peltzer was such a fun and affordable pumpkin farm. Now the prices are outrageously high. I bought two sangrias the total was $47!!! For my 3 girls to enjoy every single ride or activity, it cost $100. That does not include the $3 per person for entrance fee. We didn't get to play the carnival games because we didn't want to buy another book of tickets, those should be free. We will not be back next year, the rides are just not worth it for the price. Pretty sad. read more

Came here with nieces (7 and 3) and it was very cute!! I wasn't sure what to except but I was pleasantly surprised. They had a LOT of pumpkins in any size you can imagine. There was also a petting zoo, pony rides, a train ride, a tractor ride and games. The pony ride was very well organized, the ponies walk in a circle, helping the kids feel safe and if an adult wants to walk next to their child it's very easy to do so. The train ride had a long line since the ride only has about 2 cars so it can't take a lot of people, but once on the ride it's great for little ones!! You go in a small circle around part of the farm and you get to go inside a small tunnel, it's very exciting for toddlers!! The tractor ride is basically kids driving electric tractors around a small course. It's a fun activity for toddlers and early elementary kids. The petting zoo looked really cute but we didn't go in. They had a ton of food trucks set further back, behind the pumpkin patch, and I liked how they blocked off the road making it easy for families to walk around. The only slightly annoying thing is that you need tickets for the rides and if you run out, you have to stand in a long line to get more. read more

This place is TRASH. Zero social distancing. Zero face mask enforcement. I was 1 of maybe 10 people masked out of the easily 70 people in the joint when we first arrived. Then it got busy. If you choose to go into the "petting zoo" - a cage with drugged animals on a book shelf - just know you will be in there with upwards of 30 people since no one monitors the area. Additionally, don't pay their $2 fee for the Zoo, because they don't care about anything and you can walk right in the joint without any issue anyways. Their COVID response on YELP says "Face Masks Required", but the sign when you arrive says "Strongly Suggested". Except, nobody suggests it. Even some staff members outside of the Ticket Booth were maskless. Nobody should spend their time or money here. For those joining me in the terrible review of this place, which it looks like MANY are. Don't forget to drop the same review for their Winery(search Peltzer Winery). They obviously don't give a crap about this page. read more

Great place to spend the evening. They have a ton of different sized pumpkins here. They take cash, but they have an ATM on site for a fee. They don't weight the pumpkins, they just have 5 different sized pumpkins with prices on them. They compare yours to one of the ones with the price tag on it. We paid $7 for a small to medium sized one. They also have a petting zoo that costs a couple bucks. You have to go to the counter and get a ticket. I think one ticket was $1. Make sure to bring some quarters for feed. Parking is in a dirt lot not too far into Temecula Wine Country. Free parking. read more

My family & I were looking forward to a fun & SAFE time at the pumpkin patch yesterday. When we arrived we immediately saw there were a ton of people but we decided to park and check it out anyways. Right when we entered we saw that the majority of people were not wearing masks & were packed in their like sardines! Once we saw that literally no one was enforcing safety guidelines we decided to leave. So in short, if you are looking for a fun, safe & clean experience, this is NOT the place. read more
