It's an experience we absolutely…read morelove, the leaves on the ground, the crisp cold air, the food and drinks, everything is so nostalgic. I highly recommend getting the fast pass so you don't have to wait in line; in my opinion, it's totally worth it. The merchandise is good, but I'd love to see more graphic tees and some unique items from local sellers, especially Halloween-themed, to make it feel extra special. The place is really clean overall, though the porta-potties can get pretty messy, my advice is to use them before you go if you can. Can't wait to go back, I absolutely love this place!

*** October 2025 Review ***…read more Well, another year, more haunts. This is a redo for us. My wife and I drove all the way from Sacramento to experience Hobb's Grove yet again. It's kind of the same interface, but let me tell you... The Haunted hayride that they offer is SO FUN and truly unmatched. I don't want to give the thrills away, but trust me when I say..... we drive over 2 hours to visit this Haunt! It's become a staple in the mix. Definitely 5 stars! Thank you team Hobb's! We'll see you again!

April 2026 - All inclusive package + Extra…read more We picked this venue in June 2025, so we had about 10 months of planning. We fell in love with the grounds- they have a spacious venue with various 'yards' that we viewed in our walk through of the venue. The space is beautiful and natural, if you pay attention to what's around you - you'll notice a ton of little things like honey suckle, fish in the river, and blackberry bushes. We were contracted under their all inclusive option, so much of the planning fell onto me and my fiancé - though we were able to contact Devin, Montana, and Sierra about any questions we have. There was some wait time in response but we came to understood that they have a young family. They would connect us with or share their recommended vendors, many of them had all the items we were looking for and more! Us being rather new to formal events, Montana and Sierra walked us through what is typically expected and timelines- like father daughter dance, bouquet toss, etc and alternatives - so we could think about what we wanted to do or wanted to add. (RBR related vendors - bar / photography) Photography: Devin is really quick to respond and works with all styles of photography I had shown him from our Pinterest inspiration. He's really chill, he walked us through our first 'professional shoot'. We loved our photos that he returned to us! Bar: I forget the bar staffs name, but she was super super accommodating and informative. We brought our own items and she was able to tell us the FL oz and the range of amount for the drinks we desired at the wedding. [leading up to the wedding ] Montana and Sierra would touch base with us and had walk throughs of the facility to talk about our vision, placement, variability in placement (cause it's a huge space), and setting up of the rehearsal day and timeframes. [Day-before wedding] Rehearsal was smooth. We were able to practice as many times as we needed to get a feel for what to expect and do for the wedding. We were able to make last minute changes to the binder plan that my fiancé and I had prepared to meet a better aesthetic. Sierra promptly wrote these new notes down and walked us through pacing and what to expect as well as get our family members to be comfortable with this part of the ceremony. [Day of Wedding] POV you're me and my fiancé. We have 95% planned out and done and we're scrambling lowkey on getting our folks together and on schedule with us an our coordinators. We had some DIY we didn't get to finish - putting photos on backdrops and putting our papers on the seating chart. Sierra and co was able to finish this on our behalf so we can have our day to just be our big fun day with everyone! We never expected them to do it for us and we are so thankful that they did - albeit it was not major DIY (getting ready for the day took us longer than expected). Sierra, Devin, and Montana checked in with us to let us know our timeline for our wedding day and kept us moving so we can get all the big stuff out of the way so we can enjoy the rest of it. Sierra would check in on us to make sure we knew when to be ready by for photos with Devin, where to go for rep-entrance, and when we were done with all the mini events planned. By the end of the night, my fiancé and I were a good silly mood and so happy that we chose venue and so thankful for the team that made the day so smooth for us. They were accommodating and clear with all the little customizations we wanted for our wedding. All we had to do basically day of was bring our stuff, get ready, do our jobs, have fun, clean up our personal items (makeup clothes), and pick up our big items the next day. Our guests loved the venue, the vibes, and the staff. I would love to come here again as a guest so I can enjoy a drink by the riverbed

The Riverbottom Ranch owners and staffing provided us the most PHENOMENAL experience of our lives…read more Not only were we (bride and groom) impressed but our guests complimented the location and hospitality the ranch provided. We all thought it was beautiful and loved how we were able to experience all areas of the ranch and not just a specific place. Sierra and Montana, our coordinators from start to finish provided an amazing experience. Sierra, the day of the wedding was such a stress free day as soon as I got to the ranch. You graciously took care of everything and made it look perfect. Devin, our photographer also was amazing to capture all of these moments for us because I had left my phone in the bridal sweet, which is by the way the cutest room to have myself, bridesmaids, and mother get dressed for the day. My husband says the same about the grooms suite. Overall, we are still dreaming about it and wish we could relive it but this day will always be talked about and remembered because everything was just perfect. Thank you River Bottom Ranch for our beautiful wedding day. Last thing actually, they are dog friendly and our dachshund was a vibe for all our guests including the staff. I could go on and on about this venue and package that they provided us but I 1000% believe this gives twilight vibes for a wedding so if you want twilight this is for you.

Just updating my review from 2years ago/my last visit. My sister and I along with our kids came…read moreback to follow tradition of taking the kids to the pumpkin patch. It was my son's first time he's 17months, I have an almost 4 yo and my nephew is 8yo. We normally visit the beginning for the month but this past weekend was the only weekend that worked with our schedule and they do recommend visiting earlier since it's not as busy. We arrived just alittle around 11am there was a line at the entrance. Entrance fee is $10/car (suggest carpooling). There was definitely quite a bit of ppl. From reading recent reviews I'd said our experience was better than theirs despite the busy weekend. Thankfully they allowed us in to park, it was busy and we ended up parking on the second dirt lot. We did our normal train ride and hayride. The line for the train ride was extremely long we waited about an hour. But it was also my first time experiencing the train going all the way down to the pumpkin patch area. Which was quite nice, the ride was longer and it saved us a trip walking down hill with our littles. The hayride was probably a 15-20min wait. The prices had little to no change since our last visit 2 years ago. We decided to eat some tacos at Charlie's since they weren't busy and it was the closest food vendor also prices were very reasonable. Ordered 4 tacos and one quesadillas for the kids and it was pretty good, the service was fast and friendly. They addressed the long wait issues and reassured the public that they are working on getting another train, working on a bridge to alleviate the traffic and getting more staff. Overall I do highly recommend going the weekend in the beginning of the month to avoid long waits and the crowds. We did see so many vendors on the area where the train rides were but we were just to tired and so were the kids that we didn't get to check it out. Perhaps next year. The kids had fun regardless. The staff we encountered were nice.

And take you back to the beginning. There is also a tractor ride that also takes you to see the whole place. The rides are beautiful both of them. I love the trees and the decorations and everything. They do a very good job arranging everything. We came last year and we bought tickets for the train but there was a bee attack. I had a flowery blouse and they were on me all the time I was there. So we had to leave. Good thing I saved the tickets and they honored them this time. They told me if I don't used them that day I could come in Christmas and use them then. I thought it was nice that they do that. So we used two tickets and now we have a good excuse to come back on Christmas. yay! The prices are modest. Everyone around were enjoying themselves. Very fantastic place to spend the evening. They only open on weekends though. So plan ahead.

We chose the all-inclusive package, and it was the best decision--from the dress, video and pictures to the catering, everything was handled beautifully. The servers were amazing and made sure everyone ate... and I truly mean everyone! I did opt out of a couple of things and honestly wish I hadn't, because every detail they handled was done flawlessly. The owner, Amparo, went above and beyond what is required to run a business. She was attentive, caring, and made sure every single detail was perfect from start to finish. If you are looking for a venue for a wedding or quinceañera, do not look anywhere else. This experience was absolutely perfect, and I couldn't be more grateful.

The gardens were built in an unexpected park of Fresno and these is a lot of history behind them. Parking was somewhat difficult but once you enter, the staff were very kind, organized, and positive. Our tour guide Raul was super sweet and provided a lot of history regarding the gardens and the family who built them. Raul had my 3 young boys engaged and interested. He answered all my questions and was so open to conversation. You could tell Raul was proud to be there telling all of us how the Gardens came to be. The Gardens are very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like these. The smell of all the citrus trees combine with the natural cooling underground was amazing and made the tour comfortable. If you have any time i do recommend visiting these secret gardens.
