Pumkin Patch


Every year of our marriage we have gone to Marris Farms in Buckley to enjoy the pumpkin patch and every year we have a great time. This year however, we were greatly disappointed. We are always on a tight budget, this is why we liked Marris Farms. They were free to get in and all we had to pay for was the pumpkin. Of course if you wanted to do the other things like the corn maze or the kids games you had to pay extra but that was an option. This year you had to pay for everyone to just get in. It was $5 per person and that did not include the corn maze. With our large family it came to $25 just to walk through the front gate. We hardly did any of the fun and games because it was so crowded (the crowding was of course not their fault). We were only there for an hour picked one pumpkin because it was so expensive and went home. In all we spent $35 for a pumpkin. If you have the money by all means go. But I recommend finding a pumpkin patch that is free to get into and where you have the option to pay for the extras. The economy is not getting any better and I'm very disappointed that Marris Farms has decided to take advantage of it in this way. We won't be going back anytime in the future.
