I wouldn't recommend going to Moreland Pumpkin Patch if you're planning on doing the family walk…read more It was quite expensive at $15 per person, even for my 2yo. We lined up at our 730pm check-in time and waited 35 minutes in the cold and were only halfway through the line. We left because it would have been another 25-35 more minutes to get through the line. However, the staff was great and the carnival games were fun. Nice to have all of the thoughtful decorations as well, our child loved playing with all of the pumpkins.

This patch is cute…read more The haunted trail costs $15 per person and there are scheduled appointment times to go in, however the line backs up and you have to wait at least 30 minutes past your appointment time before entering. We did not enter the trail until 720pm, and that is after getting in line at 640pm. Just be aware. Which is fine, my family had fun and the actors inside are funny and well rehearsed. However, since we waited so long, we got out of the trail around 750pm. My kid wanted to play the carnival games, which close at 8pm, so we bought some tickets to play, and were out to the carnival by 752pm, they had already taken everything down and had only a few simple games still up. My kid was bummed, but I figured since there were no refunds, I could go back and get a snack instead with my tickets. I was denied and told to come back next week to redeem the tickets. I know this is all for a good cause and it really isn't too big of a deal, but it is silly that I literally bought the tickets within a minute and then walked back after the carnival being closed and then denied to even use the tickets on anything else and then told to come back next week. They were told not to sell any tickets since they were closing up the carnival early, but I guess it wasn't communicated well. I guess we will be back to use up the tickets next weekend...?

It was one of the smaller patches we'd end up seeing this year, but it had such character and the staff was so friendly. There was a ton of fun stuff everywhere, like a big ruler where you could stand with partners/kids/dogs for cute photo ops, wagons and little carts for the little ones, and of course - pumpkins! The parking fee was not so high, and it counts toward your purchase of a pumpkin. It is dog friendly and the owners we encountered were all mindful and careful, asking before petting - it was great and a great value as well. Would absolutely recommend!

This is a smaller patch compared to some of the other ones around the bay area, but it has plenty…read moreof activities for the kids. It's located in Saratoga and has a dirt parking lot. When it's not a pumpkin patch, the lot gets used for other things - such as Xmas trees. I've been here a few times over the years with various groups. Entrance prices are relatively decent, but ride prices can rack up quickly - especially if you have multiple kids. There are plenty of things to see/do even if not participating in the rides. Staff is usually very friendly. I think they've added on some games for the kids over the years, such as the water ball one. The maze is always fun to get lost in and the hayride offers views within the corn fields. The petting zoo has some cute animals. There's a small cafe area in the middle of everything where you can grab some snacks/food. If you're here on a weekday expecting less of a crowd, there are school tours going around and may be more packed than expected.

This is definitely one of my favorite pumpkin patches in the Bay Area. I love how they have so many…read moresuper cool activities to do like Pumpkin Launching, Neon Paintball, a spooky Cornfield Maze with mystery puzzle, the Petting Zoo, Spooky Hay Ride, and lots of super cool rides for the kids. They also have so many great spots to take photos with your family (or boo lol) near the pumpkins with fun cartoon characters and decorations everywhere! When I went on a Sunday this place was CRAZY BUSY, it was soo busy people were parking across the street. Although it looks scary (as in hundreds of people everywhere lol) the lines went by super fast. The staff that I met in the front was very nice. :) I will say this place is getting a bit PRICEY, the prices seem to go up every year but the activities are relatively the same. I think a date for two with some activities easily hits past $80-$100. I can't even imagine what big families have to pay. *GASP* lol. It would be nice if they offered discounts for return visits, loyalty customers, or family packs tbh. These prices in this economy?! lol Just joking. (But definitely something to think about.) ...Sadly I think this place isn't affordable for most people especially if you have a big family it's $8 per person just to get in. *Eek* an entrance fee for a family of 5 would be $40 WITHOUT activities... definitely not economical but... If you have the money to spend definitely check it out! The Halloween games and activities are awesome + super fun. I will say we made the mistake of buying food here (yikes on bikes!) the food is honestly terrible lol. I went on a cold evening and was super excited to get hot chocolate to stay warm but ended up with KINDA WARM watery chocolate. *bleh* Broke my heart honestly. lol. The churro was okay though and the pretzel was.. moderately acceptable. :) Sooo overall I would say Activities: 5/5 ~definitely super fun! Value: 4/5 ~bring that wallet baby Food: 0/5 ~I would never eat this again even if they paid me lol. I still love this place but I definitely will eat before I visit next time! lol. :) PRO TIP: Bring a jacket if you plan to go in the evening, and don't wear expensive shoes because they will get veryyyy dusty + if you plan to do the Corn Maze it can possibly get muddy.

Even come back during pumpkin time just to enjoy all the other fun of slides, jump houses, and animals etc. Now they have a summer season of wet water slides!!! Kids put their swimsuits on and let them go! The trick will be getting them to leave. Also for the price can't beat it for a day of water fun that is spread out enough that don't feel on top of everyone else or long lines. Plenty of things to do and never a dull moment.

They have a super cute little farm stand selling produce, jams, syrups, and a few knickknacks. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Cosentino's also offers classes and events among the fruit trees and flower gardens. I went for a beginner's watercolor class on a warm spring afternoon. Shaded by fruit trees, about 20 of us sat at a long table decorated with fresh-cut ranunculus flowers and learned to paint tulips (very badly in my case!) from a local artist. It was a really sweet way to spend a couple of hours and remember back when orchards were the life blood of the Santa Clara Valley. The farm features heirloom fruit varieties and picks them ripe, so I'll definitely go back in the summer for stone fruits and berries. It was a little early in the season for a good selection when I went.

I finally got the chance to visit this local fruit stand and it really didn't disappoint. It's…read moretucked away in a really nice, quiet cul-de-sac in a clean neighborhood behind Branham High School on the south side. If you live in the Almaden or Branham area, it's such a cool little hidden gem and definitely worth stopping by. The fruit looked super fresh, though the prices are higher than I expected, more like Whole Foods level prices. I thought going straight to the source would mean much lower prices, but what you lose in price, you definitely gain in freshness. For example, their strawberries were $5 per little green basket (three for $15), which comes out to about $5 a pound. At Costco, organic strawberries are $5.49 for 2 pounds, roughly $2.75 per pound. The giant seeded watermelons were $12.49 here, compared to $6.49 at Walmart. (Suggestions from a visitor) A couple of friendly suggestions that I think would be really helpful: It would be great if they posted online what fruit is in season and what will be at the stand, along with the prices. That way people can plan ahead and know when to make the drive when their favorite fruits are available. Also, there are no signs letting customers know they can go in the back. I only knew because I saw pictures on Yelp. Locals who've been here before probably already know, but as a first-timer, it looked like an employee-only area so I didn't go back there. A simple sign would be awesome, it would bring more people to the back to sit, eat, and enjoy the space since most fruit stands don't have that nice extra feature. Overall, worth visiting if you don't mind paying a bit more for freshness.

They have cool green, warty, striped, etc types of pumpkins. There are also decorative gourds, corn, and hay bales. The proceeds go the Peppertree School but this year they also help Union Middle after school programs. But the REAL gem is going in the evening, when there are only a few families, and the kids can enjoy the fun stuff they have. They have big wheels, tricycles, a rope swing (like a sit on swing made of rope, pretty cool) and a couple of small bouncy houses. The staff we encountered were VERY child friendly. They also have 2 bunnies, a few chickens, and some very happy looking goats. Overall, very nice little patch. If you don't have time to go to the farm, come here:)

I highly recommend attending, and we will be going back next year.
