I as impressed up front that the website was organized and professional, but dealing with her attitude and personality were extremely off-putting for the get go.

Steer clear of this business owner!

Enter off of Old Settler's and exit onto 79 by the Salt Lick. It took us one hour and 25 minutes to get to the ticket booth! Yes, we all had to pee. Like real bad. I almost jumped out of the car and used one of the road cones for shielding. Luckily they had some (4ish) port-o-potties once you got inside. That area is kinda dark though. Bring a flashlight. Maybe some snacks? Bring the dog and the kiddo's. Kids are gonna love this. The trail was cutely themed with a reminder of celebration to preparation to dinner time with dessert to Santa's Coal Mine to the North Pole Rodeo. It was all cute and made me wish I had some kids in my car so I could vibe off of their excitement. My favorite part was the end light tunnel. It was fully lit and would do the roving flashing thing every once in awhile. Unfortunately we got stuck with the steady on feature. Which really sucked because I wanted to experience the roving flash. There's a little Christmas Town at the end, so be sure to park and check it out. More lights, petting zoo, and little carnival. Also some food. Take the kids, they will talk about this for a long time. Good for Round Rock to bring in their own originality. Was this worth all the effort and the $15? Sure, why not? Is it four star worthy? Not really, but, one star for bringing attention to 'da Rizzle. This is year three, hopefully, they will continue to grow and improve.

Parking is free but this place can get packed quick so plan accordingly. There are many different food options throughout the grounds as well and good shade coverage, something they added more of this year. We felt like their shops offering was smaller this year but we're not completely sure on that. There are additional things you can do if you buy tokens for them such as: a petting zoo, train ride, and pumpkin smashing. We bought some tokens for pumpkin smashing and it was definitely worth it. The bigger the pumpkin, the more tokens it cost so we maxed it out and got some very large ones and let it rip. It was a lot of fun and we recommend this activity to anyone who goes. Lastly, we searched for and selected our perfect pumpkins for carving, which also were decently priced and healthy/good shaped. This is an extremely fun place to go on a cool fall morning with family or friends and is worth the drive out to Leander no matter where you are in Austin, highly recommended.

This was our first time going to this Pumpkin Fest. We had previously gone to the one in front of…read morethe Leander Humane Society. This one is much bigger with rides for the kiddos, plenty of photo opportunities, food trucks, live music, a small petting zoo, a train ride, and wait for it a beer garden. Our crew went on Halloween day and we were surprised at the lack of crowds. We were able to park close to the entrance and we never waited to go on any of the rides. The rides had seen better days but our granddaughter had a blast on the tea cup, train, and slide rides, and that's all that matters. We snacked at the Jamaican food truck and their jerk chicken & shrimp plates were very good. The beer garden provided us with a Sam Adams Octoberfest beer which was a perfect accompaniment on a beautiful fall afternoon. Upon leaving all the kiddos received a gratis small pumpkin. There were plenty of other larger pumpkins for sale. I can see how this would be an expensive day if you have a couple of kiddos. The entrance fee is $15 pp and the rides average $6.00 pp so it does add up. Take note for next year First Responders, Military and Veterans admitted free every Friday.

If they only would charge for kids entry, that would be wonderful. This place is for kids up to 10 years old and mostly for toddlers and little kids. My 11 years old was not impressed and 3 year old was having fun. I was bored, nothing for adults. Would I go back? Probably not. The weather was perfect for pumpkin patch, the lady up front was very friendly. Some kids were rough and parents were not present.

Year 2 for us here, and unfortunately, it was slightly worse than before. Let me quickly break down…read morewhy: - Hella expensive for what's offered (which we already knew going in). - No petting zoo. - The train ride wasn't working. - Limited food options. - Pony rides are not free. - The lady running the pony rides was extremely rude. - The live music was way too loud--seriously, the volume needs to be toned down. Despite all that, there were a few things the kiddos enjoyed: - The bounce house. - The corn patch was a hit. - Pumpkin painting (free with a ticket). - Watching some animals behind the fence (but no, this wasn't a petting zoo). - The $8, 2-minute pony ride. At the end of the day, the kiddo had a blast, and that's what matters most. However, the total cost--$30 for tickets (3 tickets), $8 for the pony ride, $8 for a gross agua fresca, and $10 for 2 pumpkins--comes out to $56. To be honest, that's pretty disgusting for what you actually get here.

Every year they offer: Carnival Rides (strawberry whirl (my fave) a bounce house/slide Carny foods Skydivers Austin Symphonic Band Free Watermelon Live Stuntman Show Rubber Duck Race Firework Show Move in the park after Fireworks and more.. not sure if all other things are every year as the above mentioned are.. A nice atmosphere. Lots to do. The regular park is there as well as the lake. Plenty of porta potties all around. Plenty of vendors to stroll through and see all the different stuff. Plenty of alcohol! At night there are many people wandering about with glow in the dark accessories for sale. Bring your cooler, your blanket, your chairs, your sunscreen and find a nice spot on the lawn.. and enjoy your day! I HIGHLY recommend staying for the movie that is playing... even if you don't want to see it, because the traffic leaving after the firework show is unimaginable! HAVE FUN!
