Not your traditional farmhouse experience at a pumpkin patch, but more of a carnival feel. The…read morepumpkin patch itself consists of pre-picked pumpkins. There are tons of bounce houses, of which the smaller are included in the entrance fee and the larger ones cost $ to participate -- which a punch pass can be purchased for. We went on a Sunday. The price for adults was $7 each, and the price for our 7-year-old was $5. You get a stamp on your hand, but be careful because it easily washes off. I recommend getting stamped on your inner wrist. The food was expensive -- $30 for 3 tacos and 1 drink -- but I suppose that's to be expected at a venue such as this. A platter of Dino chicken nuggets and fries was $10, and the cotton candy was $8. Parking is free. Bathrooms are porta potties and gross, as you can imagine. Staff are friendly. The haunted trail is recommended for kids ages 12+, and I would agree that little kids should not be on this trail. It is more gory than it is haunted. There are several buildings along the trail, and may be 2-3 of the building could be seen as more haunted, but the rest of them were very gory. One was outright bloody (think scenes from Texas Chainsaw Massacre). The punch pass has no expiration date so can be used again at a future visit. The property is really large, so even though there are a lot of people, it doesn't feel extremely crowded even if the parking lot is packed. I would recommend this place for families who have older kids who aren't yet teenagers. And skip the haunted trail if you have a little ones with you.

There was an entry fee which I never experienced before. Ended up paying $10 just to pick up some pumpkins. We ended up walking around to see what they have. There were a couple of food booths. They have tons of activities, a corn kernel pit, corn maze, small petting zoo, tractor rides, apple canyon, even a little zip line set up. A great spot for kids. Of course they have the pumpkin patch as well with a good variety of different kinds of pumpkins. After walking around and picking out a couple unique pumpkins, we checked out. $30 for two pumpkins. Overall, a cool spot if you have kids, but looks like for entry and wristbands for kids, the price tag could really add up, especially if you're getting pumpkins too!

My daughter who just turn one was so intrigued with the jumpers but unfortunately could not go in unless she was 2. I think they should allow a toddler small section for the babies for family that have older kids and smaller kids to enjoy. She was only really about to see the petting zoo, and be in the corn pit. But kept walking bro the jumpers to admire the kids play. It can wet very hot here during October too especially peak afternoon, which is why we go early. Also expensive, tickets for everything, and then food separately. Hay ride was actually nice, they have set up in the back area you don't see but when the hay ride takes you there it's cool how they incorporated old house home teams for the skeletons.

The people who work here are super nice, and they are always very helpful. I feel like the cost on weekends can be a bit on the pricy side, but it's worth it if you try all the activities. It is also really popular, so I totally get why it costs as much as it does. It is still an annual trip for us and I look forward to it every year!

There is a fee to enter and to do some of the supplemental activities (pet bunnies, launch pumpkins). The hay maze was pretty good for tweens.

It was easy to get to--near the highway without feeling right on the highway. There is a lake and hills to add to the lovely pastoral setting.

Peterson's Farm is a small working farm in a hilly rural area just outside of Petaluma. Don't expect a huge parking lot, jumpy houses, sprawling corn mazes and haunted houses. Peterson's is small, intimate, quaint, and low-key. The grounds are very pretty with many trees, barns and fields, etc. However, the patch is rather small and I agree with another reviewer who mentioned the pumpkin selection was pretty slim for early October. They probably have a lot of schools going there to pick up pumpkins during the week. On the grounds you'll find adorable cows, bunnies, ponies, chickens, and geese that you can feed. There are many beehives, a couple apple trees, and a small barn where you can purchase honey and other things like tomatoes and soap (if they have any in stock). The farm is perfect for small children or babies. I wish the areas surrounding the patch were a little more maintained. There are a few dilapidated fences and structures that are laying around in piles and instead of being removed, just have caution tape around them. These "props" did not look good in the background of the photos I was trying to shoot of my toddler picking a pumpkin. Overall this place is really cute and perfect for small children. They have wagons that you can take out to the field to haul your pumpkins back. Luckily, Peterson's doesn't get too crowded on the weekends and there was plenty of parking in their small lot. The pumpkins are reasonably priced according to size, rather than weight. Bring cash because they don't take cards.

Went here today for a hunt through the pumpkin patch. This is a small, family owned farm. If you're…read morelooking for a spot to pick up a pumpkin, have your child (or your friend's children, or your dog, or your boyfriend) pose next to a giant cardboard cutout of Elvira or Frankenstein, or Divine... This isn't the place to go. If you're afraid of dirt and mud, chickens, honeybees, cows, ponies, or, well... REAL LIFE, like where your food really comes from... Don't come here. Like I said, Peterson's is a real live working farm. The pumpkin patch size was on the smaller side, we got fantastic pictures of my daughter sitting around a bunch of pumpkins in, OH MY GOD, the dirt!!! I was totally stoked to come here and am thrilled that my money has gone directly to helping a family farm thrive. My husband and I laughed at a family that showed up dressed, well, for a stroll in the city... The mother all but had high heels on. Clearly, they were really looking for a place where their spawn could jump in bouncy houses and have a Disney-fied experience of a harvest tradition. They never took the kids out of the Armada and split as soon as they realized that they'd be walking in dirt to peruse the pumpkin patch. Peterson's offers educational tours for children on honey farming, and they grow other seasonal delights in addition to pumpkins - tomatoes, persimmons, dried flowers... I can't wait until my daughter is a bit older to bring her back here, perhaps in the spring, so get another gander at the chickens and cows and ponies (OH MY!!!).

We finally found this place and were so excited to try it! It was my first visit to the area and it was absolutely gorgeous to drive out there. The orchard is lovely and the staff are so kind, attentive and informative. I called ahead to check that they have parking on site and that helped alot! When you get there staff helps with parking and then you go get the U pick supplies and make your way to the orchard. The green apples were limited but we found alot of red ones. The experience was fabulous! After picking we paid for the apples and got some fresh organic apple slushies along with some sweet treats! Absolutely 10/10 We enjoyed this in the orchard and it was really charming! Highly recommend this specially with kids! Note- They have bathrooms on site and you can pay with cash or card to get the apples.

There are lots of pumpkins (mostly off the vine when we went late in the season), including the cool "warty" knucklehead variety. Prices depend on girth, not weight, and range from $13-$22 for most of the average sizes. You can bring your own lunch or purchase from vendors. Either way, there are plenty of clean covered picnic tables, It started misting with blustery winds, and we stayed dry. The canopies seemed securely anchored. The drive is beautiful, with the hills and redwoods and happy cows. Parking was okay, but I advise to get there early. The cheese shop abuts the patch and is a must.

Parking: plenty but busy days require patience for families loading back into car and leaving. Activities: petting zoo with a horse for children to ride, ducks, chickens, pigs, goats and more, hayride, face painting, bounce houses, maze, live music from littles and a band for adults. Payment: Best to bring cash but vendors have card readers too, reception can be spotty. Pumpkins: Nice variety, priced by size. I heard a few families complaining about pricing but a few extra bucks is well worth supporting a local farm that supports the neighboring natural environment and creates a wonderful fall experience for families this time of year. Vibe: Extremely family friendly, vendors were sweet to the children. Many children running around, smiles seen, laughter heard. Food: Coffee, Bbq, shaved ice, ice cream and drinks.
