    A tiny girl and a giant pumpkin
    Lee D.

    I have great memories of taking my daughters to pumpkin patches when we lived in California but don't recall ever having to pay admission so was a little shocked at the $11 per person admission. Okay for adults but it would have been nice to have a less expensive option for our two year old granddaughter. Yes there are many fun activities available but the only two that were age appropriate were the tractor ride and tub train. And then, as expected, you pay for pumpkins (.45/pound or $3 each for pie pumpkins). Very beautiful flowers and many places to take nice photos so I am giving Howell's four stars for a fun afternoon spent there but be warned that this will not be an inexpensive outing!

    My family has been to a bunch of pumpkin patches, all of them that I know about within an hour radius of Knoxville, Iowa, a few even farther than that. This one was a little under an hour's drive, and it's the best one yet for us. Admission was $11 each, pretty normal. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. There was plenty to do: a corn maze, store, wagon ride, animals to pet, corn cannon, zip line, jumping pillow, and much more! It's large enough to have plenty to do, but not overwhelming either. We were there for almost 4 hours, which was long enough, yet we didn't do absolutely everything. I guess we'll have to come back next year!

    Howell Pumpkin Patch is the perfect place for your family to enjoy a beautiful autumn day! The short drive (from Des Moines) to the pumpkin patch lets you build just enough anticipation before arriving. Once you are there, you immediately notice the rows of green Christmas trees, waiting to be tagged and prepared for the Christmas season. A gray gravel road grooves through the picturesque property and leads you past the main barn and to the parking lot. It's breathtaking! Walk to the main barn and pay the $11 admission fee. That admission fee includes access to the corn maze and pick-your-own-pumpkin patch. Inside the main barn you will discover lots of fun home decor. So cute! Behind the main barn, you can hitch a tractor-ride to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. The corn maze is a very basic corn maze. It is definitely meant for children. It was not difficult to find your way through it. I would describe it as more of a corn path rather than a corn maze. It was still fun! Near the corn maze was the pedal cars (they have adults ones) you can race. That was fun but quite a workout! Right next to the pedal cars is the pumpkin patch. There are tons of pumpkins and gourds waiting for you to pick them! Once you have picked the perfect pumpkin, hop a ride on the tractor back to the main barn and pay for your pumpkins ($0.49 per pound). Near the main barn, you'll find more kid-friendly activities like mud-pie stations, pony rides (those cost extra), tree swings, slides, little pedal bikes, and goats you can feed. There is also a corn cannon ($1 gets you 4 corn cobs), an ice cream stand, and a quaint cafeteria. Overall, I love this place. It deserves 4 stars because it is, without a doubt, a great place to bring the family and young kids. I will say that if you are looking for a more adult experience (i.e. no kids), you might not find what you seek at Howell Pumpkin Patch. Try it for yourself!

    I'm completely unfamiliar with the Des Moines and surrounding areas so picking a pumpkin patch that we'd enjoy felt like shooting in the dark.

    Amish Haus Beautiful…read moreAmerican made furniture! Walking in is like a wood haven. Upon arriving we were immediately greeted. You come here for quality products and fantastic service. Brought our young kids. Nice staff who give grace to crazy kids. I don't recommend bringing the rug rats. They can easily scratch, damage something, or turn on and off the lamps- annoying the sales associates. So... def not kid friendly. You can immediately tell the quality of the furniture by touching. The durability compares to nothing in any other furniture store. They carry Palettes by Wineburg and are comparable in price to Homemakers. They offer more of a selection and someone who actually enjoys helping in customizing. They also can customize what you like from their floor models. We were able to receive a general quote for customization while we were there. With extra add ons the sales associate was able to email me a better estimate of price. They typically have sales throughout the year. Their best deals are right around Forth of July and Labor Day. Be patient when visiting on a busy day. They don't staff 20 people at a time. They have staff that you can work directly with and repeatedly for a more intimate business exchange. Expect to pay high price for high quality. Definitely recommend if you're looking for heirloom pieces. They keep up with furniture trends but also keep their classic looks to remain classic throughout the years.

    Nice selection of Amish furniture and other furniture. Super knowledgeable staff that are very…read morehelpful and not pushy.
