If you're looking for lots of fun with your family this fall. I HIGHLY recommend Phillips Farms! They have ton of activities for the kids to do and only $10 to get in. And a discount for military/first responders. Some activities cost $1 or $2, so take cash with you. The pumpkins are a little high in price but not a lot of places in the triangle area that has pick your own. I think we ended up paying about $38 for 4 pumpkins. Two were very large, one medium and a smaller one. They have wagon rides, feeding/petting goats, changing a tire, corn pit, three bouncing houses, and basketball/football/baseball throwing area. And lots more to mention. They even had a LuLaRoe pop-up boutique. Again, super fun and SO worth it!! I didn't see much choices for food but you could always pack a basket and have a nice little picnic because there are plenty of places to lay down a blanket and enjoy that family time. read more

This is a huge farm and we usually enjoy going but I wish they'd accept credit cards - for as big as they are, it seems crazy that they don't. All the other strawberry farms do, and it is not fun to tell a toddler they can't pick strawberries after all :( read more

Absolutely worth a visit! The fun house is actually fun! My son and I came out laughing! The corn maze wasn't too difficult but just hard enough to be fun for everybody. The only drawback was the pipe that ran through it but, you know, pipes gotta be somewhere, right? The giant trampoline was a double stop for us and the attendant was very mindful and didn't let the kids get away with the slightest bit of rough play. It was a beautiful day, crowded, but run smoothly so it didn't feel like we spent much time waiting around. My son's favorite? The pumpkin cannon! I personally preferred the sling shot :D read more

Phillips Farms - Pumpkin cannon! - Farmers Market Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Phillips farms provides the best fall and best pumpkin farm experience! Our family of all ages always has a blast together when we go. It's pretty magical. Their trunk or treat on halloween day was incredible and we were blown away by the generosity of those who participated. Thank you Philipps farms for giving families a place to celebrate fall and create fun memories!! read more

Phillips Farms is a local family farm that's been operating on the outskirts of Cary for over 100 years! Now, the farm operates mainly as a pick-yourself strawberry farm, although they also sell live Christmas trees around the holidays and have fun fall activities (corn maze, haunted house) in October. I hear that the severe winter was hard on the strawberry crops, but I still had fun picking about two pounds worth at Philiips Farm! The berries are smaller than you get at the grocery store, but they were really high quality! And cheap. You have to purchase their bins to pick (each bin holds around 6.5 lbs), but you can reuse it when you come back. Even with the bin purchase, my total came to just over $4 for 2 lovely pounds of strawberries! Plus, picking was fun (I went after work one day, because they're usually open until 7pm). Even at 6:30pm on a Wednesday night, there were several families there picking (and little old me!). read more

We had a wonderful time and love that they serve food. With very little children, we were surprised by all the activities they had at the farm that the littles could enjoy. Definitely worth the trip out! read more

Great experience, the pick your own pumpkins might be a better option seeing as though we spent $50 on 2 xl prepicked ones. So many fun activities for all ages! read more

Just a great place ran by an awesome family. There are tons of activities and food. Definitely a great place to spend the day. Each year they add on something new. read more

We went to multiple tree lots this until we ended our day at Phillips. I have to say that this year I was was quite shocked with the lack of inventory and the huge price increase over last year, but to my pleasant surprise, Phillips had the cream of the crop for MUCH cheaper than anywhere else! We were looking for larger trees and they had many and they were gorgeous. Thanks Phillips for never disappointing! I'm in Holly Springs, so I didn't want to venture so far, but I will save the time and make a b-line for you next time! You have the best quality by far!! read more

I went on 10/14/17 to Phillips Farm aka Haunted Farm and had a blast! *Field of Lost Souls * Big Top Terror *The Rebellion Trail *Gore House were all not too long or too scary. TIP: Remember this is for families and kids so keep your expectations in line with family fun. If you want to be really scared this is not the place. read more

We went to Phillips farm on Sunday and I cannot say enough wonderful things about it!!! Our 21 month old daughter was entertained the ENTIRE time (which is an extremely difficult task as she is very busy and we were there for 5 hours). I was so impressed with how many activities they had for the whole family!!! Every time we walked through I saw something new!!! Not to mention the owners and staff are absolutely amazing people and were all extremely kind and you could really tell they enjoy what they do! So thank you Phillips farm for the incredible Sunday afternoon! So many memories were made and I cannot wait to go back to make many more! Keep up the AMAZING work! If you haven't been I highly recommend them and I know you will enjoy yourself as much as we did! read more

Do not waste your money! It opens at 8 and you pay $20 for 4 scary events but in reality the lines are about 90 minutes and they close at 11. So doing the math you can *maybe* get two of the events done if you are lucky. Not scary. And they only have outhouses. Pass on this. read more

Super fun, I'd definitely recommend for families with kids 12 and under. The corn maze is cute but was very thinned out; it wasn't the thick aisles of corn I'm used to seeing out in the country where I live. You could almost see halfway from one side to the other in the maze because the stalks and aisles were so thinned out. The snow cones are not very good, they barely put any flavoring in them; mine literally tasted like water, but it's only $3 so I'm not mad. They had very nice pumpkins ranging from $11(small)-$25(extra large), so really pricey when you could get a small pumpkin from Harris teeter or Walmart for $5. I really wanted to buy our family's pumpkins here because I love supporting local farmers, but it felt like they were taking advantage of people. They also did not have the pumpkins organized and separated by size. So you have to pick one up, wait in line, and hope it's the size you were wanting. If not, you have to start all over again; pretty crappy system in my opinion -- just make respective aisles for each size pumpkin. Duh. It took so long I ended up not being able to get one :( Guess I'll have to go to sketchy ole Walmart. Overall though, it was fun and I can imagine families with youngins having a blast here! read more

What a great time! We brought our two y/o to pick pumpkins, but they had so much more. There are tractors on display, tractor race track, cow train, giant rocking chair (for photos), bounce houses, corn crib, slides, goats (feed dispenser for 25 cents), hay rides, mud pie station, and so much more. We did about 75% of the activities with my two y/o, and she definitely had a great nap that day! The pumpkin patch is real, although they were already some that were pre-picked. My only advice is to come in the first two weeks that they open. The pumpkin patch was not the greatest after the 3rd or 4th weekend, and our pumpkin actually started rotting two days after we took it home (with black splotches and everything). The lines to the hay ride is super long, so be prepared to wait if you don't get there early. It was about a 30 minute wait when we arrived around 11 on the weekend, so we didn't bother doing it. $10 for each person to enter. There is a $1 discount for first responders and military. I believe the 2-3 y/o get in for free, but I recommend checking the website for the actual cutoff age. We'll be coming back next year! read more

It was ok. In general it was more like a carnival than a farm, which just isn't the environment I want. On top of that it was little things that we annoying, and show that they are really just all about making as much money off of you as possible. There a many things that cost extra once you are in, like games, and picking a pumpkin. They say you can't bring outside food, but the concession stand has very few choices. The only lunch food they sold (as opposed to snack or desert) was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! And then they have 1 food truck. They even had booths of like a financial place and someone selling lularoe clothes. And there were almost nowhere to sit down and very little shade. read more

I love how you can come here and pick your own strawberries in the field! They give you a white plastic box you can place your picked strawberries in and they charge by the pound and it's a really good price! They have picked strawberries you can buy if you're busy, but if you pick them yourself, it's cheaper! Definitely want recommend for anyone of any age! read more

Man we love it here. We come for Pumpkins and now have visited for Christmas trees. They had the best selection around and we went to multiple lots. My daughter loved sitting in the giant chair and they even let me take some of the scraps they cut off the tree home with me. We will definitely be back for strawberry season. read more

Wonderful place to visit with children. There is so much to do & almost all the activities are included with admission. The corn maze was well done, easy enough for the kids, but enjoyable for the grown ups. Had a good, bouncy ride on the cow train. We took the hay ride, kids bounced in the giant "bounce pillow", slid down the slides, played in the duck race, and lots more! We spent an entire afternoon, everyone was polite & friendly. We'll be back again!! read more

I wonder if the seven reviews of this Farm were friends of the owning family. Granted, the cost is less than other local farms in the area with pumpkin patches and kids' activities. But having loved Three Bear Acres in Creedmoor and Hill Ridge Farms in Youngsville, I was very disappointed in Phillips Farms. Three Bear Acres is a wonderland of kids' outdoor activities that help us convince those under 20 years old that you can have fun WITHOUT an internet connection. And Hill Ridge does the same and includes some very clean and cool activities for kids and a pumpkin for every visitor to boot! So, perhaps if you haven't visited the kids' outdoor playground/Fall funland that help make North Carolina great, you might not have noticed how poorly Phillips Farms is trying emulate the above successful businesses. The corn maze is small and rather lame. We thought the "clues" game to point us in the right direction would be a fun way to do our first corn maze with our six-year-old. The maze was so small we didn't need any clues on how to find our way out. The Fun House was nothing but DARK, visitors in front of us found an early exit, and we followed suit. We were prompted to exit, because the next piece of the not so Fun House was two pieces of white blowing material you had to walk between. Stained and tattered, all I could think was, "How many germs would we come in contact with by rubbing up against that?" Outside, things were poorly maintained and just dirty. There was black mildew on the side of the bouncey house. There are no bathrooms, just portapotties. Check out the many pumpkin patch alternatives around Raleigh, this place is not worth your money. read more

It was fun for my daughter, we went for a ride and pumpkins patch , all children who were playing there looked very happy.

This is easily the best Strawberry Farm, Pumpkin Patch, Christmas Tree, and Corn Maze around Cary. I would NEVER go anywhere else. If you haven't visited this farm during these 4 seasons you're missing out! I would highly recommend Phillips Farm! read more

This was not the family place I expected. The pumpkin patch staff was harsh and rude, and put my child in tears. This is the 1st poor review I've ever written but the experience at Phillips Farm was undeniably disappointing. I will not be back! read more
