Review of Siegels Cottonwood Farms

It really is affordable family fun on the farm.

It really is affordable family fun on the farm.
I love this farm and have been going the last 5 years straight. Every year they have added more activities included with your admission. There are tons of photo opportunities around the farm.
It's a real working farm so you'll see plenty of animals including goats, horses, and pigs. They also have chickens. In the last 5 years they have gone from the gumball machine hand full of good to cups, carrots, and greens you can purchase for a small fee to feed the animals.
There are a few different play areas for kids. Pirate ships, fairy/tiny houses, and cars/trains. They are all made out of wood. They recently added a corn pit(?). It's basically a sandbox but instead of sand corn is used.
Don't let the tiny corn maze fool you! It's a lot bigger than I expected. I figured it would just be a quick walk through, but we were in there for at least 10 minutes.
My daughters favorite things the last two years would be the zip line and the giant slide.
The best part? All of these activities are included in your general admission. No ticket lines. No hidden fees. The only things they charge extra for would be for any outside vendor they use, like pony rides or camel rides, and food.
The food is great. It's moderately priced. The pulled pork parfait is my new favorite. There are different buildings that sell different products. One building has apple cider donuts (Another favorite!), another pulled pork, another chicken tenders. That's just a sample of the food items they sell. This past year they started selling alcohol. Last year (2017) they started to sell a refillable cup. I like this much better than the paper cups they provided before. Plus it's a souvenir you'll actually use.
Pumpkins are charged by the weight. This year we pulled our pumpkins from the patch and unfortunately they didn't last very long before they started to rot. In previous years we've picked from the pre-picked pumpkins and have never had an issue. You can find pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors.

Overall, I highly recommend this pumpkin patch. It's worth the drive. I like that it's an all inclusive price. Other farms I've been too you have to buy tickets for different attractions on top of a high admission fee. There is plenty to do to keep you busy the whole day. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's a nice family environment.
