Parking was free and easy, we got here maybe around 11:00am or so. Granted this was the end of September, so probably not the usual rush as we get closer to Halloween. The babies were free, and my senior parents were free as well (I forget the age requirement, but both my folks are in their 80s) $15 entry for my spouse and I, along with our school-aged kid. There was LOTS to do. My kids probably spent a good 30+ minutes each in the corn kernel pit as well as the bouncy area. We rode the tractor as a family around the corn field. Both kids got into the little miniature tractor ride around the lot, played in the western town, pet and fed the goats, and picked out some baby pumpkins for the house. We probably spent a good 2+ hours just hanging out. They got out all the necessary energy out and passed out for the long car ride home. There were plenty of seating options next to each attraction (corn kernel pit, bouncy area, little western town, petting zoo) which I felt was important especially for my folks, meaning you could let the kids roam free and still be within walking distance in case they got unruly. EVERYONE was so welcoming and friendly, from the folks who were at admissions, to the guy driving the tractor, and the folks by the mini-petting zoo. Just overall a really good experience and an off-the beaten path gem in Galt. We noticed an area for food/beverage options, but we had just eaten breakfast nearby, so I can't speak to the food options. After using Yelp for what seems like 20 years now, I rarely feel compelled to write reviews, but a small mom & pop patch like this and the memories for my littles to kick start the season is well-deserving of one. We'll see you again in a few weeks!

My first experience visiting Fog Willow Farm was as a parent chaperone during my son's kindergarten…read morefield trip, and it was such a wonderful day. We rode the bus from the school and checked in at the designated field trip area when we arrived. Since there were four classes, they split us into groups, which made everything feel organized and smooth. The kids absolutely loved the hay ride and getting a tour of the farm to see the layout. One child was so excited she almost fell over. Her water bottle fell but she was safe. We then visited the animals and learned about all the amazing things the farm does, which was both fun and educational. After the tour, the kids enjoyed time on the playground and had snacks. There were also shops and places to eat, which was great for families and chaperones. The bathrooms are port-a-potties. They do have hand washing stations. I had never heard of this farm before, but it truly exceeded my expectations. We will definitely be back next year! It was only $5 per child and $15 for parents which wasn't bad.

Highly recommend for absolutely everyone!

We went here today as a field trip with our charter school. It was so crowded we got bumped into…read moreeverywhere we went. There was nobody supervising the corn maze so everyone that wanted to went in there and it got bottlenecked. Parents were bringing in strollers and making it worse. I had a panic attack and had to get my kids out by going my through the corn. We paid for a hay ride out of our charter funds and never got to participate because the wait was so long. We are pretty sure other families were going back for a second ride but will never know since there is zero accountability or supervision for any portion of this place except the snack bar. The animals are treated inhumanely with the baby calf being held in a small cage so the kids can overwhelm it and it has zero say in who touches its own body while it isn't with its mother. The snake was hissing at everyone because it didn't want to be around so many people but they kept taking it out anyway. We will not be going back again. Edit to add: I got an email from Yelp saying someone complained about this review so I should edit it. I can only guess who. But here's my edit... The thing is... this was the experience of my kids and I and I don't think we need to be silenced because you don't like it. We saw these things and even my kids were upset about it.

This Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin festival two day weekend event has been occurring since 1994 but when…read moreCovid happened in 2020 it happened online. It was only recently we attended if we weren't away traveling as my wife loves a huge festival that entails lots of walking, live music, shopping & food. It's an ideal place at autumn time with giant pumpkin weigh-ins. This year 2025 the top pumpkin weighed 2,147 pounds! Brian Werner from Gridley California won. This year they also had a scarecrow contest, pumpkin recipe contest, lil pumpkin cupcake & youth art contests. There were also multiple stages of entertainment & the pumpkin regatta happened on Sunday. We didn't arrive here until after an hour of opening yet they had plenty of parking at 20 dollars a pop. We did spend several hours here so it was worth our time. Also they do have kids rides & activities for them! That tractor tram ride for kids only looked so fun! It is really a family friendly event! This year we bought their Mediterranean food: chicken gyro & lamb salad. Service was good. My chicken gyro however was meh. Yet my wife loved her tasty spicy lamb salad as she ate the entire entree bc she was hangry! That value on that salad was worth it to her! My wife even purchased her favorite chocolate dipping' dots bc people kept walking past us eating them! We also observed some people dressed in costumes & lots of furry friends on leashes. An ideal place for people watching too! The weather was the most perfect right after a stormy week! Not hot as the temperature was nice & cool! Last Saturday it was odd though as the internet was down so they encouraged to bring cash! Cash is King! Now if you missed this year's festival make it a point to attend next year. It usually occurs the first weekend in October. You will be highly entertained. Seriously. My wife thought her pictures she captured were exceptionally pretty bc of the beautiful pumpkin orangey colors especially against the greenery background, bright sun & blue pond. It does make you appreciate our lovely sunny California weather. We are truly blessed.

Being a local Elk Grovenian and living here for 20+ years, I have never been to the ever popular…read moreand famous GPF. Why? I don't know but perhaps I was influenced by someone years back telling me it's not worth coming because there's hardly anything. Boy were they wrong!! I enjoyed every minute of the GPF. Sure it's mostly for kids but I as an adult, with no kids, I still had fun going. There are plenty of food vendors, coffee vendor and a variety of desserts (ice cream, kettle corn, shaved ice). The cooling desserts are much needed on a hot day in October like it was this past weekend. Don't forget to bring a water bottle, hat & sunglasses since you'll be at the park for a couple hours. The vendors are all spread out in Elk Grove Park so there's an ample amount of walking to experience all that there was to offer at the GPF. My friend and I got there close to opening on Sunday morning which is the last day. We did hit a bit of traffic, however, traffic was moving and we weren't stuck on the street for more than 5 minutes. If you go early, you'll find good paved parking. If you go later, you'll be parking in the unpaved areas. Parking was $10 and it is all day or you can chance it and park in the neighborhoods. I was most excited to see the pumpkin regatta but we didn't get to see it because I think they started rowing the pumpkin boats slightly before 12 pm (12 pm was scheduled time). I did see them carving the pumpkins when we arrived at 10 am. There's plenty of photo ops for little kids and adults in the pumpkin village and there was also a scarecrow contest. Many of the vendors give out useable freebies which can be used during the festival or later on. There were also other small businesses that had their own booths such as arts & crafts, trinkets, hand made soaps & bath bombs etc. Plenty of things to do for the whole family of all ages. Just a note, there are 2 different events for Saturday and Sunday. The pumpkin weigh-in occurs on Saturday along with some other fruits & veggies weigh-ins. Sunday is the pumpkin regatta and the big splash after the regatta. There are also different events at the main stage and smaller stages too. Next year, I'm coming on Saturday to watch the pumpkin weigh-in. The winners for the pumpkin weigh-in were present on Sunday with their awards, and there was a final standing for all participants.

They told me it was because they had to check to see if it had corn because it was such a late season for July. I truly believe that there's a better way of checking to see if there's corn on the cob other than tearing it open and drying it out maybe next year The young man on the phone said, just push it close the best you can and put them back in the refrigerator. Sad half of the ears didn't have much corn on them. If anything. I believe you could just feel the Cobb without tearing it open and you'll know if there's corn in it or not but thank you. I'm only 71 years old. I don't know anything about vegetables. Good luck.

Admission is only for those who want to participate in activities such as hay rides, corn maze, jumpy platform, etc. Horse rides were an additional cost. There is a market for buying fruits, veggies, nuts, jams, candies, drinks, and pumpkins. There's a face painting station. They have waffles, donuts, and mocktails. They also have BBQ items, burgers, corn on the cob, hot dogs, specialty coffees. There are ample tables and chairs to enjoy your food under shaded trees. And, there are events such as musical acts and movies on specific days. Last but not least, we loved the staged areas with trucks and pumpkins for those Instagram-worthy moments.

We stuck to the free area and enjoyed looking at the pumpkin varieties as well as taking pictures several times in front of cute backdrops including a rusty old track adorned with hay bales and pumpkins. My friend and I got apple cider doughnuts, which were fried to order and delicious, if not a bit on the smaller side ($2.50). Our other friend ordered the elote ($6) and she liked it. The horses were cute and adding to the farm animal fun will be pig races, which start in October, according to an employee. There's an area full of activities including hay rides and a maze that costs $25 that looks like it could take up a few hours. It would have been fun to come at night because of the stringed lights and the cute cocktail bar (the maze also would be even spookier!). They also have mocktails with fall ingredients like an apple cider spritz with caramel. The pumpkin patch is a bit small but it's free so if you live in the area or like fall activities it's worth it but since I had a 27-minute drive, I prefer to have more free activities. It was fun though, and we made a day of it by hitting a pizza place for lunch afterward.

The place is quite large, so you'll need to pay for their tractor ride ($4) to get from station to station. We came around 10:00 a.m. on a Monday and the place wasn't crowded. We picked up our baskets and then let the kids place around their tree house for a little bit before getting on the tractor. Our first stop was peaches and apricots. The peaches were pretty low hanging, and the kids were so excited to pick them. However, there weren't that many ripe ones at this time. There were more ripe apricots, and they were sweet and juicy. Our next stop was the strawberry station where there were plenty of ripe strawberries. Our last stop was the cherry station. Our driver directed us to the last row where we could find ladders. Sure enough the cherries were plentiful and so sweet and juicy. There were even kid size ladders for the littles ones. The fruits were 100 times better than what you'll find at the grocery store, and the kids had so much fun picking their own fruits. If you need a fun activity with the kids, I high recommend coming here.
