It's our family tradition to go every year to bengstons! I went when I was a kid and now I take my kids! The prices are great and the kids get to ride the rides for free they love the train and the new roller coaster they had this year. The pig races are always fun to watch and my boys love to watch the pumpkin launcher while riding the hay ride. There is always a great selection of pumpkins and my boys love to pick out there own pumpkin. It's great memories to make and you can't make them at a better place than bengstons

Bengston's has been a fall tradition for 3 years. My son just turned 7, this will be our fourth year.
As a mom, it is important to be aware of kid friendly space, easily accessible bathrooms, allergy-friendly food options, etc. Bengston's met and exceeded my already high expectations, across the board.
Ample (free) parking, friendly staff, affordable admission, safe walkways, entertainment around every corner, humane animal care (yes, their animals appear healthy and happy, I check every time). The rides are free (with paid admission).
My son loves the singing chickens, the vortex hall, the haunted barn, the petting zoo, the souvenir shop, the pick-a-pumpkim sections, the kid's "haunted house," the cackling witch, the 2nd level goat enclosure, the barfing zombie man, the pony rides, the semi-exotic, definitely unusual collection of animals in the larger petting/feeding zoo, the big slide, the play area. Gosh, this list could go on for a while.
Realistically, this is a wonderful place. Thank you, Bengston's, for providing a safe, kid friendly place, with clean bathrooms and peanut-free food options.
We'll see you soon.

This place was absolutely amazing definitely going to make it a yearly family trip. You get to do and see so much for a very low price, and it's fun for all ages. And to make the day better my pig won in the race and I got a blue ribbon.

My family usually goes to some orchards and farms during the fall. We live in Indiana. After we went for the first time 2 years ago, we feel in live with the place, especially my 3 kids. We have gone multiple times during the season every year... the rides, the animal farm, the corn pit! It's become a family tradition now!

My family absolutely loves Bengston's! We've been going every year for the past 7 years! They have a ridiculous amount of pumpkins and the kids are always excited for the rides. The ambiance is festive and I swear I am always a big pile of cheesy smiles when we're there. Lol I am so looking forward to see their new stuff this year! I totally recommend you check it out for yourself. I assure you will love it!

I was appalled at how crowded this place was. Even though it s quite a large farm, it was still impossible to maintain 6 feet of distance between ourselves and other guests due to the sheer number of people there. Clearly, Bengtson s is not placing any limitations on their capacity or even trying to enforce any distancing. We were very uncomfortable for the entirety of our time there and left after less than an hour. There was NO spacing in any of the queues, on rides, or while watching attractions. Bengtson s posted one disclaimer about Covid at their entrance and called it a day. They show absolutely no concern for their guests health and safety. I would not recommend attending.

What an all around fun time. My husband got in for free bc he is a vet. Every employee we ineracted with was nicer then the one before. Awesome animals weve never seen before, clean grounds, the most awesome choices of pumpkins.It was crowded but it was so spread out nothing took long. Even on a nice Saturday afternoon. Also we tried a few of the food trucks...the Chuck wagon was amazing !!!

I went today with my two daughters ages 4 and 2 and we had a really nice time. The girls were so excited and they equally enjoyed all of the rides and petting zoo etc. our favorite was the flying frog ride and the corn box which is like a barn filled knee high with corn kernels. I was glad we went on a Wednesday when it s $10 to get in. They had a handful of rides that was age appropriate for all ages. I was able to get on 5 rides with them. I would definitely go back next year.... Oh and the Apple cider donuts were delicious. I suggest you get the half dozen for $10 because you ll want some more later on

Our very first time here. Had some hesitation in going as it was a weekend and from me working in retail I know weekends are busy since everyone works during the week. The site gave me some comfort when it said to purchase tickets online to control attendance. Well let me tell you when we arrived the place was completely jammed packed. Some had no masks people were very close like 2inches close. Very disappointing especially after spending that money.

Absolutely no social distancing or precautions in place. Masks are not required since it's "outdoors." This place was worse than Disney World - packed - long lines, no space in between groups. No sanitizing down stations/seats/railings No temp checks upon entering. Think twice about going there and definitely do not go on a weekend!

I have been coming here ever since I could remember! I love this place & if you haven t checked it out, make sure you put it on your bucket list! The thing I love most about this place would have to be their kettle corn. It is to die for. But other then that, I love the pig races, the pumpkin throwing, the petting zoo, the haunted house, the kids fun house, & so much more. I love the atmosphere this place gives. We all feel welcomed, we re all into the spirit of Halloween & it just can t get better than that.

I have been coming to Bengston's since I was a little girl. Now I take my kids every year. There is so much to do without every little thing costing extra money. It does get pretty crowded on the weekends but it's expected for a place like this!

This is one of our favorite activities during the fall. We have visited the farm several times over the last 7 years but this year.... not worth it! We are going through a pandemic and doing your part and being responsable is essential. This business is not following CDC recommendations. We had to leave after 20mins as 80% people were without a face masks, NO control on number of visitors or monitoring temperatures. No social distancing or proper cleaning after use on rides or playhouses. UNSAFE, not worth visiting!

It is a tradition for us to go every year. I've been taking my little one one since she was one. Four years have passed by quickly. I enjoyed seeing the smile on my daughter's face at Bengston's. I enjoy seeing my little one pick her own pumpkin each year. Boy do they get heavier each year. Even as an adult I have a great time at Bengston's. Attractions and rides are a lot of fun. Good variety of food that is especially delicious. Basically Bengston's is of my favorite parts of fall. It's a place where you can feel like a child again. Hope all of you have a chance to go, and remember you're never too old to have fun.

Lots of rides all geared toward younger kids. Lots of food. Farm animals and cute seasonal displays (like a full size witch on a smoking broom that cackles! Lots to do. Great place.

our kids love coming here! Crowds can me
Overwhelming but that s because we can only go on weekends. Corn pit is our kids favorite part but I have mini heart attacks every time they are in it. My only suggestion is that pit should be divided by age range. So the little aren t with 10 years jumping into the pit. Petting zoo is lovely. Snacks are very good and we always bring home beautiful pumpkins for the family to carve!

If you care about yourself, your family and friend...

If you care about yourself, your family and friends, you will avoid this place. The farm itself is nice, but there is zero enforcement on social distancing, masks and crowd control. We went 1p ON A WEDNESDAY and there was limited room to navigate and barely anyone with masks. Seems they are more concerned with selling donuts and making money than operating a business with at least halfway decency during a pandemic. Shame on the business, city and state. Support your other local farms, avoid this one.
