"regarding Trax farms on western PA pumpkin patches and more
website: VERY EXPENSIVE!! Lots of activities, but you pay for
everything. $8 per adult hayride, $6 per child hayride, $6 for
climbing wall, $5 for child tattoo, $4 for pony ride, and the list
goes on and on. Plan to spend a lot. Also, no atm and cash back only
with $50 purchase at market."
NOTE from a visitor (October 2, 2006): "Trax
Farms is charging $8 per person just to ride their tractor to the
pumpkin patch. That does not include the pumpkin! And, everything
else in their festival is "ala carte". They charge a family of six
$52 just to enter their pumpkin patch, and they do not allow you to
walk or drive to the patch yourself. "

A visitor writes on October 25, 2010:
"Hayrides were $8.00 for the ride, and $10.50 for a ride + pumpkin.
Everything else was an additional fee - pony rides, apple slingshot,
popcorn. There were 2 corn mazes, a 6 acre and a 1 acre. The 6 acre
had a game where if you found the punches, you got a free bag of
apples. They were pretty well hidden, and nearly impossible to find
with kids. The kids lost interest way before you found any of the
punches. "
