Review of Bengston's Pumpkin Farm

So this was my first time coming here and my first...

So this was my first time coming here and my first pumpkin patch since Covid-19 began. The place is huge! There is definitely a lot to do for kids of all ages (for reference, my daughter just turned two and my niece is 5). There are many amusement rides (teacups, mini roller coaster, 2 different trains, mini big drop, hay rides, etc), a couple of haunted houses (appropriate for young kids), a petting zoo and pony rides ($6/ride). While our group had a lot of fun, I didn t feel like covid restrictions were enforced here. On their website, it clearly says mask are to be worn, but when we got to the entrance and paid our fare, the teller told us that masks are optional! Like what?! We are nowhere near being at the end of the covid era, why are things all of a sudden being relaxed? As we walked through the large farm, I saw many people without masks. I also never saw any rides being sanitized after use and so our group constantly used hand sanitizer every few mins.

Overall we had tons of fun and will probably return, I just wish covid restrictions were better enforced.
