Strawberry Review

Quick easy and fun stop. This was perfect for my 3 boy's who wanted to do something they hadn't done before and yet wanted to spend the whole weekend at the beach . We were here for about 45 min, filled 4 bucket of strawberries took some pictures and then made it to the beach by 11. Strawberries were delicious!!!

I know this place exits, but never chose to go there. I only came here as I found out about the business title being involved in local political endorsements.
Add the media advertising.
As the read the first two 1-Star reviews below: I never would want to attend such a location that makes so heavy a $$$$ fee, just to pick 'strawberries.'
I remember the time before the "Carlsbad Strawberry Fields."
The ".." was during the fight of local citizens to keep open space.
"Carlsbad Strawberry Fields" was originally intended a$ another touri$m trap, by the City.

Eh... It was okay. I thought $40 for a family of 6 to go in and pick a smallish bucket was a bit steep. The strawberries were plentiful and lots of really good berries to choose from. The rows were packed in pretty tightly and the wet dirt made for muddy shoes and pant legs. Wish there was a drier area to clean up or wash off before loading up to leave. Area was easy to find, parking wasn't a problem at all, but I wouldn't go back.

It was an amazing time with family.... a heads up about the mudd would have been nice.

Fast friendly payment for hay ride or corn maze run (they take credit via Square). Clean parking (though limited) with active helpers to keep the packed dirt dry & packed. Some food vendors available (Mexican, Shaved Ice, Donut truck). Corn maze is as fun as advertised (but be sure to take a picture of the map). Definitely worth a visit at least once a year. Not your fair type pumpkin patch, which was fine for me because the corn maze was the better attraction.
Someday, will definitely try the haunted version (not for the faint of heart if you're scared of the maze in the daytime).

Overpriced and overrated strawberries.
There is also some local concern about the amount of chemicals used to grow the strawberries.

great corn maze and they have an awesome selection of pumkins

This is a great experience and is enjoyable. However, please be aware that the costs have changed. Admission is now being charged. I feel this makes the outing a rather pricey option now and we'll have to take the additional cost into consideration. The admission now adds costs on top of the premium price you pay for the strawberry picking experience.

Small bucket: $10 includes one admission
Large bucket: $20 includes two admissions
$5 per additional admission with no bucket
5 years and younger are free

I used to love this place as a kid, but prices for picking have skyrocketed. Additionally, toward the end of the season the strawberries are almost all incredibly overripe and starting to rot on the vine. I think it's a fun gimmicky stop if you've never done it before, but certainly not as whimsical as it used to be.

$5 per person charge for the pumpkin patch.And then they charge for everything inside . Not worth it. Go to bates nut farm instead . Much more scenic , animals and more to do.

Bery unhappy. They made buckets for picking smaller and started charging 5 dollars for an adult to go in with a child. So 15 bucks for a small bucket of strawberries that were pretty pitifully small

Great outing with the kids. Super delicious berries! Be sure to wear shoes that can be washed.

Awesome experience with u pick strawberries. My kid and wife loved the place. Strawberries were very good. U can eat as much as u want and bring back a bucket full the size of which depends on what u pay.. $10 small. $20 big.

Finally visited this place. Well worth it! Pick your own, $20 for a bucket and you get to fill it over the top. Heck, eat a few while you're picking. Met some nice people here. I'll be back

The strawberries here are delicious. Definitely a fun experience for the family or even for friends. Lot's of strawberry's to pick from and they taste way better the going to the grocery store.

This Place has been in California longer than I have. Strawberry Paradise. Best Strawberries in San Diego

A must stop while in Carlsbad. Nothing beats freshly picked strawberries!

Kids had fun picking strawberries. Go early to avoid the crowds and for best chance of fruit

Gina, in mid-January, they told us to open the farm for visitors three weeks, but we took several pills, frankly, the strawberry is very delicious.

my family and I used to come here every year. This year they required my whole family to pay an entrance fee AND pay for the bucket to pick strawberries. The staff was also very rude and gave us attitude. We will not be coming back to this place ever again.

Great family experience! The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because I wish they were organic

Nice family outing! A lot of fun picking your own. You really stick to one small area while picking, but I guess you can explore more. Although, I would think one area is like all the others. Make sure to bring the kids for when your back starts hurting!! They don't mind doing the bending and picking!

Definitely more expensive than buying at Costco, but the experience of berry picking with the family is worth it.

What a lovely thing to do on Father's day! Berries were beautiful!

These were the most expensive strawberries ever, but then I guess we were paying for the experience. $20 for a bucket we filled ourselves

Totally over priced. They make adult admission to the corn maize more than the kids admission. I mean what adult wants to do a corn maize. They give you no map for the maize! After being lost and tortured for 45 min we followed the sounds from the freeway, saw orange fencing and busted our way out! It was 16$ for 1 adult, 1 kid. The pumpkins are way over priced but that would have been fine if they had anything else to do except pay for expensive activities! They also have spendy tractor rides which is a tiny 5 min ride around pumpkins. They have hail bails and a few photo ops, but it was so hot with no shade. I raced outta there after 1 hour! I would not recommend at all. The employees seem unfriendly and unhappy. Find a better patch! You can find pumpkins for 5$ at other places!

The strawberries were amazing, very easy to do with kids. It was very expensive though.

Not very happy today when I went to visit with my granddaughter and 4 adult kids and their spouses. We were ready to spent some money on pumpkins but instead they had a $3 cover charge, give me a break. That would of been $24 just to enter. I also heard they are very expensive. I will not recommend or go back unless they remove the cover charge.

My children aswell as myself enjoyed this experience, so much,, sure you may find strawberries at lower cost,elsewhere, but these are fresh and none like ive ever had before..

You get to pick your own strawberries!!! But you're limited to what you can fit into your mouth and a bucket.. One "Large" bucket will run you about $22 but you can go down to Wal-Mart and pick up about 10 packages of strawberries for less than what you will pay here.. The strawberries you get from Wal-Mart will be higher quality than what you'll pick yourself, I promise! This place is a total scam not to mention

Seriously the best strawberries you will ever eat! Pick your own of you have kids but buy a flat or a half flat if you're an adult. Don't take your date in her shorty. It's a farm where you get in the dirt and bend over to pick strawberries......

Great place to go check out pick some strawberries good family day outing

Never buy at the door! Last week because of time. Bought a box of strawberries for 24 dollars at the door. It looks very good. But when I went home to wash the strawberries, I felt cheated. There are some small and rotten strawberries under the beautiful and big strawberries. I really feel sick for you.

It was great fun, nice activity for the family, delicious strawberries!

They told me to pay an admission fee for three people in order to buy 3 pumpkins for my wife myself and my kid. I explained that all we wanted to do was buy 3 pumpkins and not tour the grounds and they said you still had to pay the admission

WARNING: There is a 5 dollar fee per person just to enter. It's then 10 more dollars for the corn maze which takes about 10 min to complete. Checkpoint #6 is missing. All the food is also way overpriced (7 dollars for a small drink).

Sweetest strawberries ever get right off the vine. It's only a five-minute walk from my home and I buy them all the time. Can't get fresher then right off the vine and you get to pick them yourself.

This place is a scam. We bought a big bucket for 22 dollars just to go out and find out that none of the strawberries were worth picking. Hardly any were ripe, many of the plants looked like they were dying, and most of the ripe strawberries we saw were molding. We didn t pick anything and immediately went back to ask about a refund. That s when they just started to act like they couldn t speak English very well and shook their heads no. Also, just a heads up, the entire crop is under high power lines. I didn t want to walk around under them for 2 hours trying to find decent strawberries. What kind of place doesn t give a refund for someone walking in and deciding to walk right back out after they see the product? This place is a scam.

They have a pumpkin patch that they charge $10 to go to but you aren't allowed to take pumpkins from the patch. So it's $10 per person for a lame 'hay ride' and not picking your own pumpkins. It completely defeats the purpose of a pumpkin patch and is definitely not worth the money.

Update: when we asked for a refund the manager tried to say that purchasing a hayride doesn't mean that you get a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch you purchased a ride to. Then they finally gave us a refund but only a partial refund as we still entered and so we still had to pay their extra 3 dollar entrance fee. We checked and there were no signs anywhere that said you couldn't pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. To me this feels like a scam

Their service is bad. The way to get there is a waste of gas and money. The people in the hut aren't nice they never talk in a nice way. The whole planning to get there isn't worth it.

Way overpriced for what you get. $12 for a pumpkin? $10 for a corn maze? $7 for a tractor ride to the patch? By the way you have to take the tractor in order to spend time in the patch.

Comparatively big Field
Berries are tasty..

Wonderful experience!!! The wife loves it. Nice date

Experience was ok but it costs a lot for very little. Let me go and pick my own strawberries for money lol

A little pricy for what you get but I think it's because u pick fresh strawberries that's why.

It says it closes at 7 but apparently the picking closes at 3. Would ve been great to know after a 1.5 hr drive.

This place is horrible because, on the website it doesn't explain the prices and it has a lack of information, second thing is even though they have a number on the website they never pick up. Also, it costs more than what is says on the website, if you have 5 family members is costs 60 dollars.

Baby girl loved it!! Got stuck in the corn maze for an hour though lol apple cannon was so much fun too!

Brought my nieces to pick strawberries and had a blast. It was a perfect day for it. My nieces had a lot of fun picking their strawberries and we're definitely doing it again.

No answering the phone and no open at the opened time.

You can buy strawberries from the front or for a little more you can pick them yourself

Nice view but staffing was extremely rude. Would not recommend

The strawberries are so sweet, maybe some of the best I've ever tasted. But I wonder what are the little worms I keep finding burrowing in and on them.
(You can find the photo I took of the worm in the "photos" section #38)

First time ever family outing, to strawberry farm. So much fun picking fresh berries. Children loved it, we will be returning..

My wife and I had an awesome date night visit here last night. In these uncertain times it feels good to have a sense of familiarity of the seasons and to get out of the house and still be in a safe environment.

From the front gate there is signage ensuring patrons wear masks, a well-stocked sanitizer station and a staff member checking the temperature of each guest upon arrival. The farm is large, outdoors and there is plenty of space so even without taking the meticulous precautions it is very safe and clean.

They had music playing, a canopied picnic area, food trucks, high-powered apple air cannons, two corn mazes (both haunted and regular) and a giant pumpkin patch, along with a market of pre-picked pumpkins in various sizes.

The staff were very friendly and the close proximity to the ocean provides opportunities for amazing photography especially during sunset.

Such a wonderful company. They really outdo themselves for Halloween time. The kids have so much fun. The prices are reasonable. At first the price for the maze seemed high but its 45 minutes of pure fun.

A bit overpriced in my opinion, but it was a fun experience and made for some good pictures and about an hour and a half of entertainment! We didn't experience any issues with our strawberries, but a friend told me her's had worms in them

I love picking my own fruit. They also have some vendors selling other products. It makes it more interesting.

Great memories of this place as a child. Brought the family back with the boyfriend and had a great time!

So fun! Strawberries were delicious! Went during covid (june) and everyone wore masks and it felt safe and well distanced.

Had so much fun picking our own strawberries even though it was raining we were still able to go out and pick definitely a fun experience

Large fields to pick from. Cost is reasonable for fresh strawberries plus all the sampling you have to do.

It s nice place to pick the strawberry but it s little pricey big bucket is $20. Get there early and enjoy.

$10 per person for entry and a bucket, had a lot of fun and the strawberries were delicious. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon

Awesome staff and the strawberrys are big beautiful and delicious. Seriously some of the best strawberrys ive ever had. Id recommend it to friends and family.

This is a great spot to stop and pick fresh strawberries.

20 dollars for a large bucket. 10 dollars for a small bucket. 5 dollars for entrance and all you can eat strawberries Kids five and under are free. We had a good time. Rows are raised and weeds are non existent. Easy to pick and fill a bucket. Great way to spend an hour or so!

A great place to bring kids to learn about farming, fruit, labor of love, and you get to eat STRAWBERRIES!

Loved it, first timer. It was a very easy process. You pay for your bucket and start picking strawberries. It started to get busy around 12. I was worried that all the strawberries would be picked from people going during the week. But i was wrong. There are a lot of strawberries left to pick from. My 3yr old son got the hang of it fast and had so much fun. Will be coming back every year.

Beautiful place! Strawberries were great and well taken care of. Easy to find fresh, juicy, shiny red strawberries. This is wonderful for family bonding time. Will definitely be back again.

Had an amazing time picking strawberries with the family. If you enjoy strawberries come on down to Carlsbad Strawberry Company.

Straight forward and pleasant experience. The farm has established masking and distancing policies, and everyone was following them, so it was a good time. Good way to spend 30-45mins (depending on how selective you wish to be with what you pick). Cost was $10 for adult entry with small bucket for an adult. Entry cost for 2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 buckets was $30. They have hand washing stations at the entrance/exit, which was welcomed after getting strawberry juices on our fingers.

Definitely a must if you love strawberries! If you don't want to pick...you can just buy them. Not organic but super good!
Much aloha and mahalos!

Great berries, kind of pricey but better than you can get at the store. Plus its an adventure to pick your own and have fun with your kids.

it is a family place to spend a pleasant moment with the children
