The pumpkin patch is great. The problem is the reservation slots. We were there for the 4pm time slot. But they wouldn't let anyone in until all the people from the previous reservation were out. Which wasn't until 4:10 and then we still waited another 15 min in line just to get in. Which only left us with 1 hour and 25 minutes since everything closed at 5:50 so that the other 6pm reservation slot can start. in that 1:25 my kids only had time for the petting zoo, a slide, and the train ride. The 2 hour time slot is not enough time to do much there. Because of this we were left with unused tickets. read more

Too expensive and everything is all over the place. Beside the age size my 12 year old was not able to get on none of the rides because he was to tall. Not the place to go. read more

Make reservations ahead of time. Bc of the pandemic you are now required to go online and reserve a time frame. We've been going here for years and it's our tradition. Never had we ever needed reservations. So glad we were able to make same day reservations bc ypon arrival the amount of people let in was perfect. No crowded lines. Don't be bummed when you get in line and turned away bc you didn't make reservations online. read more

Went yesterday with my 5 yr old grandson, and his friends family. Their height restrictions are off, or the people working pick, and choose. They did have plenty pumpkins. I bought 30 tickets for $52, and only used 5. Such a waist. read more

Absolutely the worst. Entry fee gets you nothing but access to pumpkins and photo ops. Rides are extra with an average cost of 7 to 10 dollars per ride. Took my 4 grandkids age 2 to 7 and spent 200 bucks. Everything cost extra and prices are outrageous. Go ANYWHERE ELSE!!!. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. So much for holiday fun. read more

I've been going for the last 39 years and my now grown kids bring their kids 7 and 10, they moved to a new location in Lakewood much bigger, there much more space, and parking lot, there's no mud which is very convenient plus my car doesn't get dirty, entrance is cheaper than last years, yes thank you for that, I miss the pet zoo but the city doesn't allowed it or the pony ride, but instead there's a lot of new things like the basketball game, picture booth, and other things, they put the machines for tickets that's cool, ah they also put wooden benches so you don't sit on straw thank you that also, that was very thoughtful, genius, food it's great, but I know they'll have something else next year that will make people want to come back again and again lol, I understand that looking for the perfect spot for a fair it's not easy other than that to me it's great and I dress up all the time, im 62 and believe me I enjoy every bit of this patch, I've been there every weekend since they open, and looking forward for next weekend, see you soon read more

Omggg the worst time ever this place is sooooo expensive literally your kid only get to ride 2 rides and the rides only last 1 minute there was not many kids there on Thursday so you would think the attendants would let the kids stay on longer but noooo then i took my autistic nephew and the lady act like she didn't want to help him on the swings they need to be more trained on handling autistic kids since this is becoming the norm not all special needs kids look like they have a disability i will never go back we are in a recession so prices should be according to that!!! read more

Our family has been going their for 6 years and we love it. The website was a little difficult, but finally got my tickets purchased. I got discounted tickets. 10.00 was too much but took a different time and cost went down to 5.00. They were very helpful and all the staff was nice. The selection of ride and things for the kids to do was just the perfect amount. Got their at 6 left at 7:30 and it was a great time. read more

I love Pa's pumpkin patch! We've gone in the past like in 2016/2017 and the amount of people were significantly less but! It was still so much fun this time around. Wish we could have done more stuff but we went during a super busy day. There are lots of rides, lots of pumpkins to buy and lots of games, lots of photo ops and food! Everyone has to go to pa's at least once! It's fun for the whole family :) read more

Pa's Pumpkin Patch - Amusement Parks Near Me - Lakewood, California

I've been going to Pa's pumpkin patch now for the past four years and never once have we had to pay an entrance fee. This year you're required to make reservations and pay $16 per adult and six dollars per child to me. This seems like an outrageous amount of money just to pay to walk 15 feet through the gravel parking lot to get to the gate. Me, having a business of my own I completely understand the need to raise your prices, however, raise your prices for a good reason raise your prices on the food you're selling, or the tickets for the games or the pumpkins that are already ridiculously overpriced. raise your prices on the food that you charge people so they can feed the pets. There's so many other ways to make up that money. I would imagine at a carnival event such as this. I do not think that it is fair to charge an entrance fee, as steep is this and I think that they are going to lose out on a lot of customers. In reading some of the responses from the owner regarding the city restrictions they have been out under this year. It's completely understandable why your prices needed to be raised from that perspective however, I do feel that since you have been in business for so long and the community is so tied to your business, I feel that there could've been a PSA or some kind of message to your customer base letting us all know, why this is happening I'm sure a lot of people would have been less upset and more understanding and willing to pay those fees. I think I speak for a lot of the members of our community when I say that this feels like a stab in the gut because I know a lot of our kids, look forward to going to your pumpkin patch every year. I do hope that next year you are still in business. I will finish by saying that customer loyalty is integral, and it is mandatory, and it should be respected and held. thank you. read more

I absolutely LOVE Halloween and with Halloween comes Pumpkins. Pumpkin Latte, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Ice Cream, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Pumpkin Cookies and my favorite Pumpkin Patches! I LOVE going to Pumpkin Patches. Since I wasnt able to make it to Pa's Pumpkin Patch last year, I was so excited to be able to go this year. I made my first visit to the patch this past week after being so excited and was very disappointed. Before getting in the Pumpkin Patch, there was a long line of cars to get in. Free parking and free admission tends to attract bigger crowds. After walking inside it was obvious how ridiciously overcrowded this place was. I don't think they understood the meaning of maximum capacity. A breakdown of the overpriced tickets $30 for 50 tickets $10 for 20 tickets 1 ticket for $2.25 Each attraction was a minimum of 3 tickets. $6.75 for a ride that lasted less then 5 minutes. My last chance of Happiness would have been the Petting Zoo, but how depressing it turned out to be. I Love to play with animals, eat them too, but some of the animals looked sick or unhealthy. There were flies all over. It reminded of the pet commercial with Sarah McLaughlin with all the abused animals. I just wanted to hide them in my purse and take them away. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing the White and Orange Pumpkins, xx small to xxx large sizes. The price for a medium Pumpkin was $29.00, way too expensive. Overcrowded, expensive rides, overpriced Pumpkins and a sad Petting Zoo is not what I expected. It was an experience, but not a good one. Tanaka Farms in Irvine is the Best Pumpkin Patch. Pa's Pumpkin Patch is not. read more

I don't go to pumpkin patches, so I have nothing to compare this to, but it seemed VERY expensive. I bought an unlimited ride wristband for my boyfriend's daughter, but we ended up going on one of the restricted weekends. They let me apply the money I spent (not the value of the voucher) for ride tickets, which was better than nothing, but got us like 12 tickets. Some rides were like 5 tickets. I don't know. We mostly threw her in bounce houses and had her go down the big slide. She also played some carnival games and won a small toy. Right before leaving, some random lady gave me about six tickets, so that was a happy event. It was nice to get out and take some pictures of pumpkins, but the whole thing is too much money. If we come back next year, and they have the wristbands again, I'll be SURE to use them when the fine print says it's okay. read more

Pa's Pumpkin Patch was fun for what it was, but it was definitely pricey and lacked things to do for adults. My girlfriend and I came to pick pumpkins but quickly found out that they were $25-$30+ for an average sized pumpkin so we opted out and later bought them at Von's for $6 each. We bought tickets and ended up visiting the Petting Zoo which one fun and also played a bunch of games. The highlight for us was the food trucks and just walking around enjoying the atmosphere. Overall, it was good experience to get into the fall and Halloween spirit, but could have been better. I think we would have enjoyed it more if we had kids. read more

So bummed. We've been coming for years and sadly will not be going back. Reservations, charging to even go inside. I couldn't believe the nickel and diming now. The fact they charged just to take our own pictures with the props was an all time low. I'm surprised they didn't charge to use the Porta potties. The only positive part was the staff was very nice. read more

This was my first year going to Pa's Pumpkin Patch! We went Saturday @5pm. Pros: - Long Beach is easier to get to from LA than some of the better known patches in Irvine - It stays open later than most pumpkin patches because it's carnival/pumpkin patch - Its spacious, with lots of photo op areas, so its easy to get good photos and not feel you are on top of other families - There are activities for different age groups (face painting, pony rides, bounce houses, carnival games, fun house, petting zoo) - There are food stalls with fair food, though we didn't eat here. The fresh lemonade was good tho! - Staff was friendly Cons: - It may not be for all budgets. We spent about $20 per kid to do 30% of the activities. Bounce house ($2) , petting zoo ($4), pony ($6), carousel ($4), etc - The Toddler game where you pick up a floating frog to see if it says winner did not make every child a winner. For a $4 game that gives a .10 cent toy, it would have been nice if they had. It would be nicer for moms. - Some games and equipment were broken or not set up yet Overall: I would def go back! read more

I'm so disappointed in this pumpkin patch. I've been taking my grand babies here since they were born. I go to make reservations for my whole family which is 12 people they wanted $146.00 are you kidding me. For what ??? Then you got to buy the tickets once I'm in. $14. 00 per person just to walk around the lot. You guys are getting greedy. It's a shame. We won't be going back. read more

I've taken my 2 kids here every year their whole lives (until Covid), sometimes multiple times each Halloween season. We'd do a few rides and take pictures. Always bought them a little pumpkin. I love the pictures and the memories! They are both in HS now and don't care about going.... however, my daughter wanted to go with her friends to take fun, fall/pictures. We just returned back home after we saw that you have to have reservations AND pay just to get in. Ridiculous. Not cool. We quickly looked online to see if they could get a reservation for the time we were there and that's when we found out you have to PAY to get in. $10 per adult (an adult is 13+), also ridiculous. I wanted to take my kids to re-create a couple of pictures from when they were younger. But NOPE, not happening now. Such a shame too as I imagine they are losing a lot of business because of this. Had we been able to come in for FREE like in the past we would've likely spent money there during our visit. read more

I went there yesterday and didn't know we had to pay to get in so we decided on going some other day a little earlier since they were about to close in a hour. As I was walking back to the car I see some lady standing with two security guards telling the street vendors who were selling light up balloons that they can't be standing there that they're on private property and that they need to make their quick little money somewhere else. Worst of all it was Hispanic women telling them this. read more

Visited this place on a Saturday evening and I have to say the wait for the attractions was not at all worth it! The rides are old, it was super crowded and the space to walk around in was limited. We got some snacks as pictured below and even those were over priced. Payed $12 for a pumpkin I honesty could've brought at the grocery store for half the price. Wasn't the best experience, wouldn't probably recommend you visit this place during non peak times: read more

Expensive and staffs has a bad attitude all the way around. To get in there for 3-4 people about $50 then pay for ticket $50 for 30 ticket for 1 kid. So about $100 for an hour or two. Otherwise you barely get to play with anything. Most of their staffs will yelling and have poorly attitude like someone force them to work here. A lady with a long hair at car ride (the one that run circle. Purple roof with stars) told me to go inside to put seat belt on my kid myself and what she do... just sitting there doing nothing. This place give a different feeling than other place that I been to that staffs were kind and nice. I know it hot and many kids but if you were gonna work where most of your customers are children and family. Can't they just find someone that at least like kids. The lady at jolly chochoo were super nice. Unlike the lady at jungle madness. Basically there's nothing for adult but yet because you had to watch your kid so they want you to each pay 2 tickets but can't go down slide so go back the same way you came in. So now your kid will be down slide alone where you walked your way back out. Not a good idea. Blizzard. When I asked my friend if they want to come with, they said no this place horrible and now I know why. Do not come here! read more

This is hands down the best pumpkin patch in the area. There are a lot of fun attractions: rides, a glass labyrinth, pony rides, a bounce house. The whole thing is set in a beautiful large space with strong lights and lots of hay, perfect for pictures. We look forward to it every year. read more

Pa's Pumpkin Patch - Castle of Mirrors - Amusement Parks Near Me - Lakewood, California

Our family of four visited Pa's Pumpkin Patch in Long Beach this past Saturday, October 25, 2014, at around 11:30 a.m. We might've enjoyed it a little more had we gotten there at opening time which was 10 a.m. because it was a bit warm. I still love you, SoCal. The parking lot was great. They chalked the parking spot lines which was so helpful. There were plenty of spots available when we arrived, and relatively close to the entrance. Parking is free as is entry into the Patch. Soooooo... this is not the type of "pumpkin patch" I've ever been to. In fact, it is much more of a carnival than a patch, however, I didn't anticipate the nice layout that they had going. Small, but mostly well-maintained and set-up. Some people wrote in their reviews that it's "huge," but I disagree. It's just that I'm basically from West Texas (southeastern New Mexico, but most people don't understand that) and I've seen some large patches with really nice pumpkins. We only spent an hour at PPP, but it was worth it particularly for our 15-month-old. We have a newborn as well, so there wasn't much to do but keep her in the shade inside the stroller while the other parent did an activity with our oldest. I imagine anyone of any age would have fun here if they at least tried, but it helps to have a small child in the group because they understand these events to be so new and exciting. My husband initially thought that I was being lame for only requesting the 10 tickets for $20 deal. "Are you sure?" He asked me like 3 times. Meanwhile, the older woman at the ticket booth was only a smidgen nice. She passive aggressively mentioned that the other deals were better after he asked her questions about how the tickets worked. Then when I confirmed 10 for $20, she said, "Okay, it's your money." It turns out that what we bought was perfect. But I'm pretty frugal too. First, my hubby and our girl rode the little train together. That was 2 tickets per person. It was cute, but I wish the guy would have blown the horn more often and been a little more aware of how the line was forming while we waited. We were standing at the "entrance" sign behind another child and parent when the worker was letting the previous riders off and turned to that parent and my husband, "You need to get in line." Drama almost ensued, but... Meh. I'm pretty sure the worker kept the peace between my husband and him by only requesting tickets from my husband, but not our daughter. Thanks, dude. Then we took some photos with her walking amongst some rows of pumpkins. People are walking around everywhere so it's hard to get the shots you want. One thing is for sure, I would maybe buy one large pumpkin from here, but I know of other places where to get medium and smaller sized pumpkins for less money. I liked the fact that I saw parents borrowing PPP wagons to haul their kids and chosen pumpkins around. If I know my husband, he'll want to bring his own for our girls when they're old enough. The two of them also walked through the "Castle of Mirrors." That was 1 ticket per person. Our daughter got a kick out of that. Next, I took her on the merry-go-round. She didn't want to get off, so to divert her attention we took more pictures with the painted cut-out signs. That wasn't fun for her, but... She's too small for the other rides, so then my husband took her back to the merry-go-round. They allow you to use just two tickets for the child and not the parent if you are spotting the child. That was nice. Once the ride ended, she was screaming in disappointment. The duration of the rides is so short, even for her young brain... There were hardly anyone else in line waiting, so I asked the nice employee if they could stay another round if I gave her my final two tickets. She said, "sure." Our girl cried again after the final merry-go-round bout, but we headed over to the creepy scarecrows next to the horse carriage for a final photo op... and along our merry way we went. There were several other rides, carnival games, a petting zoo, etc. but we had enough fun and lunch was calling our names. It wasn't packed at that time of day, but it started to get much busier when we left. We will probably attend this "patch" again next year, and who knows for how much longer... Just as long as the pricing for the rides doesn't change. Review #307 read more

Worst ! Don't waste your time TAKES 50 minutes to get into the place because first you have to get your online reservation, cool no big deal. Then when you get here you have to walk across to pick up your wristband, but then instead of letting you in- you then have to go sit in wait in another line until they "empty" The patch of lingering people.. Lame- took forever! Don't waste your time here! Bootsy games , slides were dirty and one smelled LIKE PUKE - we were out after that! I've never in my life haven't been to a patch that was so disgusting And didn't wash down their slides ! Also made you go on a goose chase just to get in. That was a sign right there to just leave to the patch 9 minutes away.. Ridiculous!! This place is terrible. Even the woman organizing it was rude . read more

We had a ton of fun at Pa's Pumpkin Patch. The Groupon unlimited pass was amazing since the kids could just turn around and go back again and again. This was great for the entire family, especially kids between 2-8 years old. I saw families in costume, and there was something for everyone. Wanna ride carnival rides? Wanna play games? Want great backdrops for IG pics? Want a pumpkin? Want a petting zoo? Want to bring your dogs? Want to stuff your face with great fair food? Want to create great memories? Come and check them out. I was pleasantly surprised. This will be a family tradition. read more

We have been coming here for at least 14 years. This year was horrible. It was very unorganized for reservations and prices have gone up. Plus they charge to ge tin now , it was never like that . I understand inflation and prices are going up, but they don't need to price gauge you . The tickets are expensive and the prizes are cheap . Also it's way too crowded ! We won't be coming back . read more

Are used to bring my son here every year. It was amazing. We went this year for the first time and they were charging 4 to 6 dollars each ride for attraction for the kids. It's a complete rip off and ridiculously priced when all you're trying to do is bring your kids to a pumpkin patch to have a little bit of fun. I am so disappointed and will not be coming back. read more

Definitely will bring my future children here! We've come here twice and it has been a delight. Workers are so friendly to the children here! Prices are a bit pricey, but it's the memories you'll make that will count!! Parking is not too bad but you can walk from nearby spots. Traffic wasn't bad either. Great place to celebrate the Fall season read more

A lots people waiting here at the entrance and not letting people come. People drive all the way from far for nothing. If you don't live around don't bother, not worth the drive for $14 entrance. Never again! read more

Pa's is now charging $14 adult entrance fee and $7 kids 3 and older. All I have to say is this is ridiculous!! Last year there was no charge and to be gouging families like this is despicable. So for a family of 4, just to enter, is $50+. This doesn't include any rides or activities. I'm sorry but this wrong on so many levels and the spirit of Halloween should be the primary focus not robbing families during already trying times. read more

A nice little spot to bring kiddos, but make sure you bring CASH or you'll have to pay up to the ATM machine. I went with work so we had to cater to 15 toddler boys and girls. There are plenty of things to do though. A real horse carousel, kid friendly coasters and rides; a fun house, humongous inflatable slide, carnival games (make sure you buy tix for all the pre mentioned stuff)and as many pictures as you and your kiddos wanna take with the pumpkins. There are white pumpkins, Orange pumpkins, multi colored pumpkins, large pumpkins, small pumpkins, rough pumpkins, smooth pumpkins, ugly pumpkins, cute pumpkins. there are pumpkins G-A-L-O-R-E! I went with the kiddos in the morning at 10am, but but noonish the parking lot started filling up. From what I hear the evening parking situation is horrendous, so try to get here at the earlier times. Some of the staff are very helpful and of course some are not. So I would look for the ones who actually look like they're enjoying being there vs. those who just sit there like a bump on a log. Enjoy. Oh yeah, their place turns into a Christmas tree place closer to December! read more

So sad! We have been coming here scince our kids were born. It has always been free entry with no reservations and then tickets to go on the rides and never any line to get in. This year there was a ridiculously long line to enter, madatory reservations and a $30.00 charge for a family of four for entry alone! Then on top of that tickets for all the rides (each kiddie ride costs between $3.00-$5.00). Price gauging. Incomparison to previous years, it was disorganized and chaotic with no clear signage for entry and exit on the rides and even a long line just to buy tickets. So sad, that it is an end or an era and this family will not be going back :-( read more

It was my second time here at Pa's Pumpkin Patch! My first time was years ago and it was fun. I feel like they had more pumpkins back then. Also, I loved the petting zoo. It's so fun petting the animals! It's a good stress reliever. I recently went again last week during night time and it was okay. It was kind of crowded. There was more people this year than a few years ago. But I could be wrong. Haha anyways, I didn't do much this year. It's more fun if you go with kids or your significant other. There are a lot of games, some rides, food and etc. Overall, it's a great place to just check it out! I want to try other pumpkin patches. read more

We had a lot of fun. We're two childless adults so we steered clear of the rides but played a few games and it was fun. All the attendants were very nice and joked around with us. We won a goldfish but it died before we could even get him home (RIP FRANK). Definitely recommended getting the fried Oreos while you are here, they were amazing. We also loved that we could bring our dog. Everyone loved his little spider costume. Overall, a really good fun fall date night. read more

Pa's Pumpkin Patch - Amusement Parks Near Me - Lakewood, California

So sad! Been taking our kids here for 10 years. Showed up today (Tuesday) and we're told it's $14 per adult, $7 per child for entry. We've always knew the pumpkins were more expensive here bc you're paying for the experience, the ambiance, etc. But to charge an entrance fee that literally only gets you in the gate and nothing else is nuts. Then you're paying for everything else along the way, and more for the pumpkins on top of it all. There is no justifying the expense anymore and I just felt like if we went in we'd be suckers. Got our pumpkins at Vons. Such a total bummer for the kids. I REALLY HOPE THEY DONT CHARGE EXTRA AT CHRISTMAS! Please don't ruin getting our Christmas tree too!!! read more
