| - Hmm well where to start...well we have 5 kids...the ages are 22, 15, 14, 9 and 4 months. We usually take a visit to aw shucks multiple times every fall...we absolutely have to because we cannot juggle all the different things with the kids...we normally go with our 22 year old to the haunted walk through, get hot apple cider, roasted corn, buy novelties in the shop, and leave , then another weekend take the 15, and 14 year old for their own special time and do the same only we do the maze, pick pumpkins, and 2 years ago were able to talk them into doing the haunted walk through which they loved...then we take the 9 year old because she always feels the odd one out and we again do the apple cidar, novelties, buy a pumpkin, do the maze, the train car etc...the 4 month old hasn't been yet obviously but if we go with just him we will be doing nothing except having a relaxing adult time with our newest member, hot apple cider, roasted corn, some pictures but all in all spend a total of 30 to 60 minutes tops to only buy stuff ..... so I was told by about 5 different couples with kids I know not to go this year..because they started charging general admission and it's simply not worth it anymore.... to make sure I shot the farm an email explaining that we don't do any activities with our 4 month old and I got the response of...YES MAAM...everyone pays admission....WOOOWWWW I guess if y ou have one kid and one visit and your doing all the activities you might consider it but in one season ...... so you mean to tell me my admission alone because my husband and I both attend activities with the kids would be around $120 for the season just to pretty much sit there and watch our kids....another $70 for haunted walk through be cause the adults take two sets of kids ... about $40 in pumpkins, around $150 to $250 in apple cider, corn, novelties, candy....
This place has now become a rip off.... they used to have someone at every activity to take tickets... I guess they just got greedy, they don't even charge like this in long Island NY....you have to be out of your mind to pay this...it is cheaper for us to go to Carowinds and do pumpkins independently. we will find other places to spend our money ...because $600 on a fall tradition is obsurd
