Review of Siegels Cottonwood Farms

Absolutely dreadful and a complete waste of money!...

Absolutely dreadful and a complete waste of money! I'm pissed!
In short- DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANYTHING. THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY, ARE RUDE, HAVE POOR SELECTION (ALL ARE DAMAGED, AND THERE'S LITTLE TO CHOOSE FROM), AND EVERYTHING IS CLOSED ON WEEK DAYS.

In depth- I wasted $15 on two "weekday tickets" that got us literally nothing. The girl at the ticket booth said everything was closed on weekdays except the snoopy maze, and some animals were out. We also couldn't get a refund or come back, even though we drove 40 minutes to get here.
Apon entering around 5:15pm, it was dead. No one was around. All food stands, shops, and attractions were "closed. open weekends only.' We couldn't make it over to the snoopy corm maze either, because the last hay ride to go get pumpkins was at 5:30pm.
After following ticket girl's instructions and getting lost, we found a map and made it to the hay ride. We waited and waited. Around 5:40pm, the tractor pulled up. On the short, short drive out to the field, however, I was pretty nervous. I can't believe we didn't get stuck in the mud. It was nothing but mud and water nearly up to the floorboards. Everyone got splashed more than once. I can't believe they'd allow their paying customers to be subject to this. Then we get 1/4 away around the circle-shaped pumpkin patch and the driver (who was quite rude) asked "Anyone gettin' off?" ...Well, yeah. Obviously. We need pumpkins. We stepped off and he said "We close at 6pm, so hurry up." I asked "So, you're only giving us 5 minus out of this entire field to choose?" "That's what I just said, yeah." Alright, a**hole, thanks for nothing. The pumpkin choice was also completely embarrassing. Plenty smashed, and 100% were bruised or scratched in some way. We were really mad. There was a small section that seemed acceptable, but we couldn't access it because it was cut off by the tractor's muddy tire prints. We picked out the least sh***y pumpkins we could find, after giving up. From the start, the driver was standing by the gate with his arms crossed, waiting for us. We got back on and asked if we asked if we could go to the better patch. He said no. Even though we ended up passing it anyway... What made us even more mad was the fact that it was absolutely beautiful out. Sun shining, cool breeze, and 75 degrees. Forbid they possibly stay 10 minutes past 6pm, right?
Then we get back and picked a few smaller ones in a mini field as soon as you step off from the horror hay-ride (even though those were just as damaged). We then attempted to find check-out. Gave up, then went through the exit where it turns out they ring people up.
The pumpkins were over-priced. The staff didn't even know what the charge was at first. We ended up getting two semi-large pumpkins and 4 small ones for over $35. A complete waste of money. Then include the $15 "unlimited attraction admission tickets" we HAD to buy... I'm incredibly livid. I regret even buying the pumpkins. We should have gone to Jewel, Target, or really anywhere except this place (or Wal-mart. Obviously no one in their right mind would shop there, either).

Welcome to a church-run, anti-abortion farm. Where money over rules all and ignorance is galloping through the fields.
