    Food, festival games, rides
    Jessica P.

    Absolutely a fall destination spot if you are looking for a full-day experience. I went on a weekend when everything was in full swing, and although I hesitated at the price, I understand it after spending the afternoon here. I wish the corn maze wasn't an extra charge though. There are a ton of activities for kids and even going without kids is fun. There are carnival rides and games, pies and donuts, cocktails and hot cider (everything is charged separately; don't plan on an inexpensive visit). They have a large gift shop area with a great variety of Halloween decor and home goods. There was live music and even a coven of dancing witches. There are lots of picnic tables under beautifully colored autumn trees for shade. The pumpkin area is large and there is a great selection, but I think it is worth noting that all the pumpkins have been pre-picked and washed. There is no tromping through muddy pumpkin fields to find them on the vines (which I really love doing so I was kinda bummed about that). The setup seems to be intended to enjoy the festivities first, then pick out a pumpkin and head to the car - pumpkins are not allowed to be carried around outside the pumpkin area (I assume to prevent mishaps and messes). If you head straight for the pumpkins, you'll be directed right back to the parking lot afterwards. Parking was easy and free, grassy field style, with an option to pay for a closer spot in the "vip section". This is NOT the place to come if you just want to buy a pumpkin! For just pumpkin-shopping, there is a farm stand just a block or two down the street that sells pumpkins. This place is about the experience.

    Fun for all ages! This place is an amazing must do in the fall. Rides, playground, pumpkin picking, all things Halloween on display and for sale. A bakery, cider, a full bar, live animals, picnic tables. Paid admission on the weekends but free weekdays. After dark they have the Haunted Forests, which is spooky hayrides and corn maze

    One of my personal favorites & fall season to-do must every year. I enjoy the wide selection of activities that are family friendly especially for my 3yr old, the delicious bakery & fresh donuts with cider, and I always pickup a new Halloween decor item to add to my collection each year. Personally I think they have the best selection of pumpkins that are very reasonably priced. My only mild complaint would be I wish they had all the kid activities free with the entrance fee - or at least cheaper like $1-$2 max. But this is only applies to a limited array of items, still highly recommend & will continue to visit each year.

    Great place to spend a fun day around WNY during Fall season. It was my first time going to a pumpkin farm and this place was great and tons of pumpkin. We went there for the holiday weekend and it was quite busy. There were a lot of shows and attractions going on. Started by visiting the pumpkin patch which was amazing and decorative then went to visit the corn maze which we had to find clues inside the maze to win a sticker. The maze was huge and fun to walk around beside being scared a couple of time by zombies and clowns inside the maze. After the maze we got foods from vendors which were tasty and filling. At the end we did the free hayride around the farm. Overall, this was a great first experience on a pumpkin farm. Will definitely come back next year to check out the corn maze design.

    We always go to this place every year for its fall activities and have a great time! This year, we just picked a really bad day to go as it was rainy and cold but the place still did not disappoint. There's so much to do and is the perfect place to get all your halloween fun done!

    I'm training my service dog and I brought him on a week day when it's free entry everything was closed the only thing open was the haunted house. I was able to show my service dog at a good distance the lamas they were far more interested in him more then he was of them he ignored them. Im in a wheelchair and it wasn't to bad for my chair to get around I got caught on some of the loose gravel but it was a new experience for my dogs training. The gift shop was a little pricey. It's definitely more fun on the weekends when everything is open

    A friend of mine suggested going to The Great Pumpkin Farm. Problem is, we don't have any children. Many of the activities included with your admission are for children. The hayride is now $5. A few years ago, when I last came to The Great Pumpkin Farm, it was included with admission. You have to basically pay for everything, plus admission, which I find off putting. I did get two small pumpkins, which amounted to $2.50, but really they cost me $12.50. Will I go back? I don't think I will ever return. There are many other places that offer activities for free, and aren't commercialized and money grabbing sites.

    Went to the Great Pumpkin Farm today for the Fair Food Festival Drive-thru (so I can't really speak for the pumpkin farm itself). Husband and I went around 2:30pm-ish (on a Sunday) and there were SO MANY CARS!!!! We waited in line for about an hour and a half until we got into the "ordering" section of the farm. There are two sections where your orders are taken by the workers there. The first section has kettle corn, fried dough, bloomin onions and fried oreos(? I think). The second section had the other foods like lemonade, grilled cheese, fries, fudge, etc. The worker comes up to your car, takes your order, takes your cash, and then comes back with change and your food. We got a bag of kettle corn, fried dough, fries, and a lemonade. The kettle corn was really good and the lemonade was refreshing (and not too sweet), but the fried dough and fries were a bit disappointing. Still and fun place to visit during the weekend. :)

    Peanut butter fudge--SO YUMMMMM.

    This review is for the drive-thru Fair Food Festival at the Great Pumpkin Farm, which is happening every weekend in June 2020, Friday - Sunday, 11am - 8pm each day. Here is how it works: ** When you arrive at the Great Pumpkin Farm, signs mark where you should enter for the Fair Food Festival; on the day we went it was VERY busy, and the line started along the side of the road. ** If it is that busy, where cars start on the road, expect a two hour wait. Yup, I said two hours. The line snakes back and forth several times on the field. So definitely bring people you like to hang out with in the car. ** Once you get up to the food stalls, you stay in your car and an attendant will come right to your window. There are boards posted with the various food options. Payment is cash only. The attendant takes your money, and comes back with your food and change. ** Things move pretty quickly when you finally make it up to the food, then that's it! You drive out of the lot, and you're on your way, with the sweet smells of fair food in your car! We bought a Buffalo grilled cheese, a bloomin' onion, two orders of french fries, two fried doughs, an order of fried oreos, and some peanut butter fudge. All of that was almost $60, so pretty steep, but pretty typical of fair food pricing. The food was pretty good! I had a bite of everything, (multiple bites of the PB fudge, full disclosure), and the fam' housed the rest. The bloomin' onion was kind of small, but still yummy greasy goodness. The fair fries were fresh-cut. The fried dough was a warm and chewy. The fried oreos were really tasty, and you got an order of five, which seemed generous. The Buffalo grilled cheese was just okay, good, but for the cost, I wish we went with the sausage instead. My FAVE was the peanut butter fudge. I usually can't eat too much fudge because it rattles my teeth, but this fudge was a very palatable level of sweet, and went down super smooth. All in all, I'm glad we checked out the drive-thru Fair Food Festival at the Great Pumpkin Farm. It was a very long wait, and expensive, and I do wish there was a spot to park and eat (we actually trespassed in the empty parking lot for the business across the street to chow down). But the food was pretty good and we had fun yuckin' it up as a fam' while we waited in line. Nowadays, when things to do are still limited, I'd recommend checking this out as long as you don't mind a potential wait. And bring me back some more PB fudge, please! :-)

    So we went to the Pumpkin Farm to experience The Haunted Forest.... And it trash !!!! So my family of 15 love doin these these hay rides and stuff during Halloween and this year we picked this place due to the forest attraction, we brought our tickets in person Apparently that was Our Mistake because they gave priority to the ppl who brought tickets on line "due to time slots" this wasn't explained on the website or at the ticket counter and it should have been cause it could have made a difference. So they had 2 lines goin and the on line ticketers line flowed like water, while our line NEVER moved!!!! Or when it did it was very slowwwwww , the guy who was in charge of the attraction was very rude and nasty which in return made us rude and nasty . What he didn't see was The ppl in the back of our line started jumping in the other line because they weren't even Checkin tickets . We waited over an hr and it took away from what could have been a great experience, needless to say we won't go there next year ... maybe back to Becker Farm.

We're blessed by God to have met the people of Akron Acres who gave us a pinterest perfect wedding day.

    Everything I was looking for in fall activities!!…read more I came across this place on Yelp, through suggestions of friends looking for a place to pick pumpkins straight from the patch. It's one of the activities I enjoy doing most in the fall, and have grown disappointed with other farms as the years went by and their popularity skyrocketed. This place is fairly under the radar - a bit of a drive even past the attractions in Clarence, but I've grown to love Akron lately and so I (of course) didn't mind making the journey. In fact, I loved this place so much that I brought my family back here the very next day. Akron Acres is a part of the Kelkenberg farm family. I haven't been to their namesake farm, but if it's anything like Akron Acres I'm sure I would have an absolutely amazing time. Activities here during their fall season included a hayride out to the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and things like pony rides for the kids. The hayride is $12 and you're allowed to pick any pumpkin you want from the patch (even the biggest one you can't carry) - they also had combo ticket prices if you wanted to participate in some of the other activities here. Sadly we went during a wet and rainy weekend, so I had to miss out on the corn maze BUT the farm animals 10000% made up for my FOMO. Oh yes, there are dozens of farm animals roaming about! Most notably, we saw ponies, a large draft horse (not sure what breed they are? but they are HUGE), pigs, sheep, turkeys, chickens, and of course GOATS. There were also BABY GOATS and they were absolutely ADORABLE, one of them tried to eat my clothes. Made my life complete. You can also buy an assortment of other things while you're here, not just tickets for fun activities! They sell pumpkins and gourds if you don't feel like going out to the patch - they also have Indian corn and corn stalks, hay, among other things. There's a food stand that sells kettle corn, maple cotton candy, and candy apples. You can also shop a super cute country store here, with all sorts of goodies - I ended up buying a delicious smelling candle that they were burning in the store while I was there. Needless to say, there's a ton of really fun things to do while you're here, both for kids and adults. It's a bit less well known than some of the other pumpkin places in WNY, which is why I ended up liking it so much. Both days we went, it was pleasantly busy but not overly crowded. There is also "The Gathering Barn," which is where weddings are hosted - and from the pictures I've seen online, it sounds beautiful! All in all, we had such an amazing experience here that we're going to be back in November for their Christmas trees! Can't wait to return!!

I have driven by year after year and thought I really need to check it out . One year (maybe more ? )they were not there for the season and I was saddened , so when I saw them open , I made a point to get there . Upon entering you will see many blow up bounce houses. Sadly, the big tiger you can see from the road is "retired" but , man he is cool ! There is also a little track for kids to be able to drive kid cars around . I would say this is great for probably the 4-5 year olds , but flexible. There are many tables set up for "pumpkin tic tac toe" . I thought it was an adorable idea. There are food huts/vendors set up with the typical carnival offerings of kettle corn, cotton candy , soft pretzels etc. What I found fun , is that there is a whole second area that you have to walk a short way through a corn maze to get to . I had no idea it existed ! Here is where you will find some more great bounce attractions and game areas , blow up slides and even a kids zipline attraction . So much fun. My 2 1/2 yr old grandson had such a great time . I recommend this for the little ones , especially 2-6ish years old . You will have a great time watching them have a great time . Lastly , we paid I believe $12 for an armband(did not have to pay for adult bands) which allowed for all day access to all of the bounce houses, we also were able to get a mini pumpkin included in that price . It was well worth the price ! I believe you can purchase individual tickets , but much more cost effective to get the all day bracelet. Pack up your kids, or your grandkids , or even your friends kids , and go ! :)

This year they had an online reservation system set up due to the pandemic. $7 included parking and a small bag of non specialty apples. You could buy more u-pick or prepicked apples on site. When you arrive there is a super cute country store set up with pre picked apples, cider, baked goods, vegetables and other treats. Once you check in there are wagons you can use to lug apples or transport kids which was a nice bonus. The area is large but not too spread out so it's nice to take a family and kids can't go too far. The staff is helpful and knows a lot about their products. Delicious and fresh apples and very clean and well run place. The winery, Leonard Oakes Estates, next door also had outdoor seating. I think there was indoor as well if you wanted. $10 got you 3 generous tastings and an ample choice of charcuterie, nuts, etc. There were a lot of tasty wine and ciders to choose from. Overall a fun day with tons of yummy options to choose from.
