We have fun here each year, to see the pumpkins and animals. Kids have fun. Tractor rides. Has coffee, donuts, and some other stuff like nachos and churros. Guided parking, but still not as crazy as some other pumpkin farms. Annual membership is pretty reasonable and includes a free small pumpkin each year.

This place is growing every year. Even after the flooding. Great place for the kids. Dog friendly if your pet is chill.

Cute little place, we loved the goats and the option to feed them and most importantly a place to wash our hands!

Place was a disappointment! Every member of their staff from parking to concessions were very rude and unprofessional. Very unorganized too. Majority of their pumpkins were already rotting away. Their calves were laying there and looked in very poor shape. I wish I had a good thing to say but the best part was actually leaving. Don’t bother coming here go to another pumpkin patch in the area. Workers in the golf carts pretty much force you on to the road while walking back to the parking lot while cars just speed through. First and last time ever coming here

My family always has a great time here! Been going here for almost 13 years now and it keeps getting better, they keep adding new things every year. Would def recommend to friends and family. Just went to their Little Picker`s Night, which started at 5: 00 p.m. With fun fall activities, then close to 7: 00 they played the movie Elemental on a projector outside. They had free goodies for the family to enjoy. Great evening, not sure why this was our first year going and we've had a Little Pickers membership for over 10 years! We've been missing out for sure! Too bad our membership expires in a couple years. It was well worth it though I must say. Look into getting one if you have little ones or just enjoy fall time festivities.

Really enjoyed my visit here. Lots of parking and it’s guided by staff so you don’t have to hunt. There is no patch in the sense that you don’t pick pumpkins off vines but a sea of pumpkins to choose from. Our baby is one year old and he really enjoyed himself because of all the animals. You can see all kinds of farm animals and there is a goat petting area also. Highly recommend for the young ones.

We had a great time with the kids. You do have to pay to get in, but most of the attractions are free with the entrance fee. We also got the Little Pickers Pass that cost less than two trips for a family of four, but is good until the child named on it is 13!

I love this pumpkin patch. We came last year and this year again. ALL the staff members we interacted with were pleasant but especially one of the employees where we ordered our food on 10/21/23 GREAT customer service i appreciate that he repeated our order back and even made some of our order combos so our drinks didn't cost more by purchasing separately. The gentleman driving the tractor was also great with the kids and was funny making our experience a lot more fun. It's a beautiful farm great for pictures. I feel like my only "complaint" would be the lemonade while fresh squeezed could of used more lemons as it mostly just tasted like sugar water. The other food items are okay.but I'm mostly a fan because of the staff, the scenery, and the animals you can see and interact with!

Thank you for the wonderful date with my girlfriend, If you live around Sacramento, Elk Grove or Galt this is probably the best pumpkin patch around. There's just so much to do, from all of the animals to interact with, the gem/fossil mining experience, and delicious lemonade and fudge. I do plan on brining my future child here.

Don't go expecting some massive theme park esque experience like Dell'Osso family farm or a world record breaking corn maze, but this is great place for a date or a family outing.

Also this IS A FARM. Animals poop here and there will be dust but they have sinks with soap and electric hand dryers so you can keep your hands clean, however they do not have air conditioned bathrooms, only porta potties. Dress appropriately and go to the bathroom before you leave and you should have a great time.

Also bring quarters! If you want to feed the animals the little vending machines for animal food take quarters.

The tractor ride from hell. You can't breath due to all the dust the tractor lifts up the entire time. You also smell nonstop gas fumes.

Cute, quaint. Nice family outing. Too pricey tho and the snack shack food was really lame. After you do the panning/mining, there's not much to do but see/pet goats, pigs, goats, horse, goats, cows, and I almost forgot, goats. Why so many goats?

Fog Willow Farms in Sacramento, CA is a charming escape from the city. With picturesque landscapes, friendly staff, and a variety of farm activities, it's perfect for family outings. The petting zoo and pumpkin patch are highlights. Don't miss the hayrides!

Today My wife and I visited the Pumpkin Patch as part of our 4-year-old daughter's school field trip. The staff at the establishment were amicable and provided good customer service. However, I must express my dissatisfaction with certain aspects of our visit. The main issue was the pervasive presence of dust, which seemed to be unavoidable throughout the premises. This proved to be particularly inconvenient and disruptive to our experience.

One of the most concerning instances occurred when we were seated at the outdoor dining tables under the trees. The airborne dust continually made its way towards us, causing discomfort as it entered our eyes, mouths, and even affected our food. This situation was rather unsettling and detracted significantly from our enjoyment of the meal. I believe constructing the eating area with a foundation made of pure dirt may not have been a prudent choice.

Furthermore, I must mention that the playground area was also affected by the excessive dust. The constant kicking and stomping by the children created an atmosphere reminiscent of a sandstorm, leading to dust entering my daughter's eyes. Consequently, I decided to remove her from the playground earlier than originally planned in order to ensure her well-being.

In my opinion, it would be beneficial for the establishment to invest in a more practical foundation or surface for the playground, in order to prevent the constant stirring up of dust. This would greatly improve the comfort and safety of the play area.

Additionally, I must mention that the lack of proper restroom facilities for public use was disappointing. The reliance on portable toilets was unappealing and did not meet our expectations in terms of cleanliness and convenience.

Finally, I must address the issue of the food quality. I ordered a Taco priced at $9, but unfortunately, it appeared rather unappetizing and lacked visual appeal. Regrettably, after consuming only three bites, I decided it was best to discontinue eating it.

Based on these experiences, I am hesitant to return to this venue with my daughter in the future.

Definitely a great place. Lots to do and see. Considering you have to pay to get in I wanted to stay as long as possible for my grandkids. VERY disappointing was the lack of sitting areas of us old folks, like by the playground, one of the petting areas, etc.

Don't let the smaller parking lot fool you, this place is huge! $12 per person over 3 which includes a hay ride, a kids playground, looking for pumpkins, and seeing/feeding the animals. They have a few shops, fresh pies and fudge, drinks, and food. They have lots of tables, shaded areas under trees, and hand washing stations. Highly reccomend using the bathroom before you go but they have porta pottys around just in case. There's also a gold mining area you can check out. Great to spend about 2 hours to explore.

Took my daughter here when she was 7 months and now I plan to take her here again with my newborn son. She’s almost 2 now.

My toddler had so much fun picking pumpkins, climbing the hay, and seeing all the farm animals. Staff was very nice too.

They don't take care of their animals. None of the teenagers they hire care and the staff certainly doesn't and it's been going on for years! I've seen ponies who are in desperate need of vet care forced to continually walk in circles with kids on their backs. The rabbit cages sit in the sun without any shade and empty, bone dry water dishes. I told one of the teens there they needed water and she shrugged and did nothing. I opened the hutch, grabbed the water dish, filled and replaced it. I swear that poor rabbit guzzle that water up and was so thankful!
I like the idea of this place, but I won't support abuse.
