We were also very happy that we weren't nickel and dimed to death. The $8 admission was so reasonable for everything the kids had to do, and the only extra was face painting (worth the extra $3); food and pumpkins. The food was very good, and I was able to feed my family of 4 for $20. The pumpkin prices were also reasonable. This farm family is providing fun that people can afford and I really appreciate that. I would recommend this farm for anyone with little kids. "
