We had a groupon to get in, so that alone saved the experience a bit. There are free horse rides for the kids, a petting zoo and a hay maze but all those things took us only about 45 minutes. Next we took the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch, what we were all looking forward to most. The hayride was fun but the pumpkin patch was just precut overpriced pumpkins sitting on bales of hay. I talked my sweet pea into skipping the pumpkin, I figured we could buy one at Trader Joe's for less and I wouldn't have to carry it so far. We survived, but we definitely won't be there again.
