This is a cool fall festival and event to visit during halloween season. A beautiful laid-back and…read morespacious atmosphere, and country music played through the speakers near the big barn, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available, and a few merchandise vendors on site, as well as beer and wine for sale. However a big negative here are the LONG LINES. Not only were lines slow, but there were extra unnecessary lines. Two lines for entry, one for wristbands, then the other for security. Two lines for food, one to place orders and pay, the other to pick up orders from the appropriate truck/tent (the steak quesadilla and tri-tip sandwich weren't even worth the wait... though the former was bigger and better). Also, there was one SUPER MEGA LINE (worse than Disneyland) for the Trail of Lights and Frights due to lack of instructions from staff and no signs to indicate that there were actually two separate entries: one trail is for kids, bright and safe (with LIGHTS), the other trail is for the haunted attraction (with FRIGHTS) where the sounds of chainsaws and screaming could be heard coming from behind the corn field (this is not the same as the regular corn maze on the farm by the way). It was definitely fun and creepy! The corn maze was cool and not too challenging, lit even after dark as they have a giant flood light high above. There was also a good amount of entertaining activities for both kids and adults, including a pumpkin patch, mechanical bull, and giant jump pillows. But again, a lack of instruction and signage, especially for the biggest attractions on site. I even saw people sliding down a hill in potato sacks on the far end of the farm, but there was no clear sign about "slide mountain", so you would not know about it unless you happened to go in that direction or had a map of the farm. As a reminder there is uneven terrain everywhere and lots of walking necessary, (especially in the trails of lights and frights, and corn maze), so wear comfortable walking shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. Despite the issues I mentioned, we still enjoyed our time here. And the cost of tickets is worth it if doing the Trail of Frights (since it's comparable with other haunted houses, but you also get other farm activities on top of that). Parking was free and easy too.

If I could give negative stars I would . We had our wedding there 9/5/26 let me start by saying the…read morevenue is gorgeous I give it that but the staff and management need to be better . The only good part about the staff was the bartender we had with purple hair I didn't get her name . We get the venue at 8am I was told there'd be an "operations manager " she didn't answer her phone any of the times that I called we get into the venue and there's not even the right amount of tables we asked for my husband had to go back home for a leaf blower to clear out all the trash from the previous nights party that was outside . The so called manager didn't get there until almost 12 and then tried dictating where to put the dj and dessert bar . The bar wasn't ready by 3:15 like we wanted and I being charged an arm and a leg for two bartenders when only one person is making drinks ! The other is just taking tally of the drinks , we paid $1500 for a par tab bar but they were still asking my guests to pay for their drinks!! I ask for Paloma's as one of our cocktails and they tasted like straight grapefruit juice not to mention they ran out of grapefruit juice by 5:30 . I paid for two bussers to be there at 4pm they sent one home and the other girl was just at the bar chit chatting meanwhile my guests were clearing off tables and instead of the so called operations manager doing her job and helping clear tables since she sent someone home she handed my guests bags to clear off the tables the other busser didn't get there till almost 530 or after and then him and the other girl busser were upstairs hanging out in the bridal suite taking selfies where all of our personal items and purses are and my maid of honor had to tell them to go downstairs and do their job . Not to mention there's two cameras in the bridal suite where we're supposed to feel comfortable getting undressed ?? And then they tried telling us if weren't out by 11 we were going to get charged $1200 . Which by the way their website lies it says you get the venue until 12pm , the contract says 11:30 but they'll tell you strictly at 11:15 and then hound you any minute after that about charging extra . Also my husband ended up putting his card on file which they closed out for no reason , told him he was being charged $120 but yet he was charged $240 so I don't know if the so called manager left herself a tip or what because they don't give receipts for anything . You're better off going somewhere else and saving yourself the headache yes the venue is beautiful but the inconsistency and clueless staff isn't worth it .

A little roadside adventure at Casa de Fruta! On our way…read morehome from the coast, we spotted Casa de Fruta and just had to stop! The roadside appeal was fantastic and definitely caught our attention! We decided to grab some lunch and, of course, couldn't leave without checking out the gift shop for a bottle of wine. We were seated pretty quickly and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but unfortunately, the service was a bit underwhelming. Our waitress never really checked back with us, and we eventually had to flag someone down just to get a refill. BUT... the outside of this place is AMAZING! There is so much to see and do! A beautiful pond, water wheel, train, carousel and plenty of fun things to explore. It really makes for a great little stop while traveling. The gift shop was fun to wander through too, with wine, nuts, dried fruits and all kinds of cute little knick-knacks. We'll definitely stop at Casa de Fruta again when we're passing through--but next time, we'll probably skip the restaurant and stick to exploring, shopping and enjoying the scenery! Another fun little stop added to our California adventures!

I really…read morelike that their upkeep has gotten a lot better recently, and they have more stores open now where you can shop, get snacks, and buy fresh food. They finally closed down their old restrooms and upgraded to a large style restroom building that can accommodate multiple people at once. In the men's restroom, there are multiple stalls and urinals available now, which is a huge improvement compared to what they used to have with that small, tiny restroom by the parking area. The service was good overall. There are a lot of younger employees working there, and while most of them were very enthusiastic, the some just seemed like they were just there, but I have no real complaints about the experience. I would definitely recommend coming to visit and relax here during your road trip since there is a little something for everyone to enjoy.

Leaving the place was so bad. People were so impatient and inconsiderate of the lines. It's not a bad pumpkin patch, I just couldn't handle so much dirt flying. Overall, if you're willing to wait in long lines for rides and walk through dirt, give this place a try. P.S. we did enjoy seeing lots and lots of pumpkins and dinosaurs.

They charge $15 to get in, but it was discounted to $12 per person since we went on a weekday. My daughter is almost 2 years old, and the main attraction that she was interested in the animals. Since it was not too busy, she also got to enjoy the giant pillow bouncer. We ran through bales of hay, played in the corn pit, and enjoyed some fresh homemade pumpkin bread from the snack shack. Overall, we had a great time despite being able to utilize many attractions since she wasn't old enough. I would say that the rest of the attractions would be perfect for ages three and up. I should also mention 2 & under are free, so there's quite a bit got a two year old to do considering. We hung around for over two hours having fun as a family, until the mosquitoes started coming out after sunset, If you're local to the area, I definitely think it's worth the visit! Go check them out!

Have gone there years for their amazing gift shop. The nostalgic toy area is so fun to look through but all the other things they have in the back room are beautifully displayed and reasonably priced. Very excellent fresh veggies, and other condiments that they have for sale. But the pies are off the Chart. The fruit pies are well worth the 25 or so dollars they cost they're huge. They're deep dish they're fresh the delicious the large size pot pies are amazing but I love it when I can get the miniatures for $7.95 for one. They are just adorable.

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...?

The good: This place is just all-so American and I love it…read more My aunt comes here for the berry pie and buys several of them to bring to me in SoCal. She's a frequent customer and she seldom eats pies. She sometimes freezes them. It's packed with so many berries and has a pure berry taste. It's sweet but still maintains the tartness/acidity of the berries so it helps your ability to eat more of it. My husband finished almost an entire pie in one day. The bad: My aunt said the apple pie is too sweet and therefore prefers the more tart/sour berry pie. I wish I tried the pie with ice cream because that would have been a nice compliment. The interesting: They're family owned and have been around for decades. You can pick fruits here too.
