We went here about 6 years ago and it was great. Took our dog and in laws and had a nice time. Our visit today was extremely different. It was crowded, which we expected for a Saturday, but it was chaos! It was not clear where to go and the cost was ridiculous. I felt like we were being nickeled and dimed from the moment we got there. To pet the animals (a goat, 2 pigs and maybe a sheep) was $5 per child. The cow cart was $3 per seat. I couldn't even figure out how much it was to wash rubber ducks down a trough. Then there was a $10 deposit for a cart to get the pumpkins. I'm not sure how many were stolen to make this a thing but that's a lot of cash to take to a pumpkin patch not including the cost for the pumpkins and any food or drinks. The pumpkin cost on the website is not true either. It states the pumpkins are charged by weight, where in reality, it's done by size and is more expensive that way. Overall, we were very disappointed and will never go again and I'm sad this is where we chose to go with my 2yr old son and in laws from Michigan. read more

Great experiance. Kids loved it and we had fun. Only thing is we waited around to pay for ever before someone came. And no one at the gift or coffee shop seemed to be able to get someone to come out. read more

I had the opportunity to take a walk through the haunted corn maize several years ago. Other farms on the island have saturated the market a bit since then. This year's maize maze is the longest one yet. The design is beautiful. I would encourage people to support the Original Corn Maize & Pumpkin Patch. They are not ruling out future hauntings ;) Check out the great pumpkin maze, great style, great people. This is special. These kind of attractions usually do not catch my interest. read more

I am a corn maze junkie!!! Every year I do all the corn mazes in the Portland area and this is by far my favorite one, year after year. Mud or no mud, it's all good, but this year we managed to do it before it was all muddy. I have never tried the haunted corn maze, but his year I finally got the time off of work to try it. I'm so EXCITED!!!! read more

Beware there is no haunted maze this year; very friendly staff

The Maize at the Pumpkin Patch is SO fun and a fall favorite for my family. (Beware: There is another maize next door at can make getting to this original Maize confusing. That happened to my parents who were joining us last Friday. These guys are the second maize on the left on NW Gillihan Rd if you are coming from the bridge. You have to go past Bella Organic to get here. We've been to both, but we appreciate the family friendly vibe at the original Maize. It feels more like a real farm too.) This one is the original and it shows in the character of the place. We just love chilling out under the big red tent after getting lost in the corn maze. There is a haunted maze too which is scary, as well as artistic. The farm atmosphere is just awesome is the fall! Thank you to the staff and owner, who were so friendly on my family's visit this year :) ALSO, the Pumpkin Patch here grows the pumpkins on site and they are beautiful!! The free hay ride is a must. PS. Bring boots if it's raining. We were all happy to have our boots. read more

We absolutely LOVE this pumpkin patch! Doing the corn maize is part of our tradition. It is different and wonderful every year. The kids take turns leading and deciding which direction, which of course takes forever, but we have so much fun. The hay ride, picking pumpkins, the animal barn, hay maze for kids, and don't forget the market place. We always get some wonderfully fresh corn, honey sticks, other fresh produce, some jams, they have fabulous stuff there. Big thanks to Sharing Spree for a discount deal this year as well. This really is the best Corn Maize to visit. So fun. read more

Ok so I went with a rather large group of people (around 9-10) on a very muddy Friday night. The lines for everything were extremely long and we had to wait for at least 30 minutes plus 15 more minutes just to finally enter the haunted maze. The second our group walked in, I kid you not, there was 6-7 inches of standing water and mud which made the experience way worse. We were more worried about how muddy we were getting rather than being scared by a stormtrooper (which we saw not one star wars character in the entire maze). We probably saw at the most 10 actors who were incredibly unprofessional and decided to listen to people who said that we didn't scream and to go after us like seriously? These guys were pretty bad at trying to scare us. No one in the group was scared so I just screamed as loud as I could just to make the actors feel better from their horrid acting. It took us around 15 minutes to get through the maze and we were all very disappointed with the maze. For $14, I would not spend the money again. Totally not worth the time and ended up leaving cold, half splattered in mud, and upset. read more

Bought vouchers for the corn maize off Portland Perks for $35. When we went took the family there was no one taking the vouchers and everyone was walking in without paying. So I paid $35 for nothing. When I sent a email giving them a heads up,(and not asking for a refund), a guy named Craig called me back to tell me that there was no way that could of happened, and basically called me a liar. He said I was probably at the wrong place, even though I know I wasn't. Also said "well you did the maze right? So what's the problem?" There was a broken down barn that was sketchy and had 3 animals. Also a crappy hay ride with rude employees. read more

We waited 20 minutes for a grilled cheese sandwich and the Mexican mocha was mainly black pepper. It was better in previous years

10/19/13 This review is for the Maize Maze at The Pumpkin Patch, and does not include information on the Haunted Maze (although I had a good time when I attended in Oct. 2011). NOTE: I found The Pumpkin Patch operating under the title of BK Powell Butte LLC, and it is not to be confused with Portland Pumpkin Patch, operated by Bella Organic Farms. "The Maize" (themaize.com) is a franchise, like Subway: each location is independently owned and operated, but maintains brand standards. Feeling bitter about the cookie cutter corporate beast overtaking your Halloween escapades? Take a deep breath and prepare for quality checked fun. The Good: - Whether you chose the Haunted maze or the Maize maze, you receive color coded bracelets. You can leave and reenter as you please, repeating the mazes multiple times, if you wish. This helps if you have a potty emergency just as you enter... You won't lose anything by ducking out and getting back in line later. The Pumpin Patch may not officially approve of reentry, but it's totally possible (just act like it's your first time in). - The Maize Maze is formed from strong, tall corn (I'm 5'9" and it towered over me). Metal posts and plastic mesh keep people on the path where weaker stalks are more vulnerable. - The dirt path is not too muddy, nor dangerously pitted. It is safe to bring young children (6+) through this maze. - After dark, lighting is visible from the entrance, two small bridges over the corn, and from the road, but not enough to break the October mood. - The maze is completed in two parts. The end of the first part ends in the same tent where you began. You can leave for a potty break and reenter to complete. Or just take a rest with friends at the provide picnic tables. - For 3 years in a row (personal experience), during October, fog has settled across Sauvie Island after 7:30p.m. It makes the non-haunted "maize" maze much more spooky, without forced horror cliches. -The ticket price is only $7 for adults (2013), much cheaper than other October events. -Unlike previous years, 2013 has unveiled extended hours for food vendors and frivolity. Now there are elephant ears, hamburgers and fries, and wrappafrappacappuchinos (coffee with lots of sugar) available after 8:30 p.m. -Despite the large crowds and lines, getting though the Maize is swift and painless, but not TOO swift. I saw several dozen people get lost in loops. The Bad: -Toilets are porta-potties with HORRIBLE lighting. (Ladies, squat at your own precarious risk... and bring your own hand sanitizer.) -This place provides quality fun, so the crowds are large and mostly comprised of ages 12 - 17. (My ghouls and I, clothed in all black, hoodies up, like to walk silently, side by side, through the Maize and startle hysterical 'tweens... they scare themselves) I really love this place. Even with large crowds, it never fails to leave me with a full dose of Fall spirit. On Saturday, this farm is open most of the day, and the Haunted Maze opens at 7:00 p.m. Outbound traffic is dense between 7 p.m. and 8p.m., as the day trippers with their young children leave the parking lots. This frees up a lot of spots next to the main entrance, so you don't need to park in the overflow lot with the bus groups. POSTSCRIPT: I've only been in the Haunted Maze once,and have listened to other people's opinions since... It's like every other haunted house/maze in the greater Portland area: You're packed in like cattle, never more than an arms length away from the person in front of you. You won't be scared, just startled and laughing hysterically to hide your surprise. These cattle call attractions can be fun, but only if you go in with a sense of humor and camaraderie, where you are willing to laugh at yourself for jumping at the touch of a fake rubber spider. Sometimes, the best part is bonding with strangers... Just ask that 16-yr-old stranger who dug his ever-so-brotastic fingernails into my shoulders at Frightown last year. read more
