This pumpkin station was full of activities, from petting goats, tractor rides, and a corn field maze to, of course, the main activity of selecting a pumpkin. I visited this pumpkin station twice this past Halloween season: once with my ex, and the second time when I came for work, bringing our class. The children were so enthralled when they were able to bring home a pumpkin. I just felt awful for our class, since they were quite disappointed that the tractor ride was down. read more

We love taking our son to pumpking station. We usually go to the Mission Valley one because it's closer but we went to the Bonita one this past Sunday (9/28) with some friends who live in Chula Vista. We ended up staying for 4 hours and the kids had a blast! We were really impressed with the employees working that day. Every single was was friendly, concerned with safety, clear on safety instructions to the kids (ie bounce house and taking turns on the slide) and efficient with running the rides. The only thing I would suggest is more seating areas, but overall a fun experience! read more

Website states it is open until 9pm but nowhere stated that majority of the rides/experiences closed at 6pm. We got there at 5:30 and had to stand in line for over 20 mins to get tickets. That's when I found out everything was basically closed. Had I known, I would've gone elsewhere or came another day when I could be there to have my son do the corn maze as that's what he was most excited about. Decent selection of pumpkins. Outrageously priced compared to Walmarts pumpkins. Staff was nice and apologetic for the inconvenience. read more

This place is pretty cool for kids of course, sadly the grown ups ruin it. Have patience when you come here...Parking is atrocious.

This place is perfect for toddlers, we went last year when my twins were infants but this year now that they are on the go it was so much better. The corn maze was a great place for them to run around and burn off some energy. We attempted the train ride (there a coupon on there website for a free train ride) which loop one they were all smiles but loop 2 my daughter wasn't having it and started to ball. They did well on the tracker ride. My son absolutely loved the petting zoo he was so excited to be with the animals. There lots of cute places to take photos and they do cut your own sunflowers as well. We let the kids pick out some $2 pumpkins and got 3 sunflowers. read more

Amazing!!! I drove to 4 different pumpkin patches and none of them had large enough pumpkins like the ones I like but this location had gigantic ones at a great price and amazing easy parking and a huge variety. The pumpkin I got was honestly gigantic and perfect probably 40 pounds or more for 40 dollars which I think is an amazing price for such a perfect pumpkin! So I definitely recommend this location for your pumpkin!! read more

Pumpkin Station - My huge pumpkin! - Kids Activities Near Me - Bonita, California

Beautiful Place to visit with family or friends to get all the great fall vibes! We decided to come to this location rather then the Mission Valley one because it was in a natural habitat rather then a parking lot with hay being thrown on the floor. The parking lot is pretty huge to park your car and its free parking as well. The entrance is free as well too but has options to pay for things such as a tractor ride, a train station, sunflowers to cut and a corn maze as well as a petting zoo with goats. When you first enter you will see tons of pumpkins for purchase and a pretty nice set up for Instagramable pics. while we were here we just did the tractor ride where we rode through the park while sitting on stacks of hay, and the kiddos decided to ride the train station where they said it was so much fun and awesome. The corn maze looked great but never went through along with the sunflowers where you can cut and bring home. There was tons of pumpkins and gourds to purchase and everything was at a reasonable price. The place opens up Oct 1 through the end of the month. The kids and family had a great time while visiting and we got some good pictures together overall great place to visit when in season to let your kids run loose and see the bright fall colors before your eyes. read more

This place is a cute pumpkin patch. There are various activities like hay tractor ride, corn maze, sunflower garden, train ride (for kids). I'm thinking coming on 10/31 means there's no more pumpkins, sunflowers, and corn left. Which is fine. The petting zoo wasn't opened but I still got to see the little goats/sheep(?) Next year I'll remember to come earlier. read more

Came here for the sunflower field and the pumpkins. The sunflower fields were either mostly cut or very short. There weren't main pumpkins growing from the ground as most of them were cut and laid out. Overall, I'd recommend coming earlier in October to get a more full sunflower field. read more

A fun October activity that you can take the whole family too. A place to find the perfect pumpkin to carve for Halloween. Prices range from ten to twelve bucks for a medium pumpkin. Not the cheapest but you are paying for the overall Fall experience. The have goats and chickens behind wire fences. Not a petting zoo. There really there just to see and take pictures of. There are funny wood cutouts that you can put your head into for photo ops. Plenty of other decorated spots to take photos as well. Hay rides every 30 minutes for a small fee. There is also a small easy pumpkin/ corn maze to go through. My wife and I took our one year old grandson and he had fun. Overall, a fun October activity. A nice place to spend twenty to thirty minutes with the family taking pictures and picking out a pumpkin or two. Will be back next year. read more

I was excited to participate in some Fall fun, so we decided to try out the Pumpkin Station in Bonita! Overall I am pleased with the variety of activities, and pumpkins that they had to offer but I am only giving it 3 stars for a few reasons.. For starters, the corn maze is tiny and the petting zoo is priced and staged for children only. The pumpkins are overpriced-- which I expected them to be more expensive than your local grocery store or Walmart pumpkins, but these prices are ridiculous! I moved from the Midwest, so I guess I was just expecting a little more than what I saw. There also weren't enough clippers for the sunflower fields, so we had to track other customers down and ask if we could use the ones that they had. A few things I did like-- The sunflower fields are beautiful and it's only $1 a stem which is very reasonable. Free admission & free parking! If you are planning on going solely for your children it's a good place to go. They have a tractor hay-wagon, mechanical train, and small pumpkin farm aimed for children. read more

This is a cute little location that comes with a small pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayride, kiddie train ride, petting zoo, and sunflower field. To be fair, they are limited for the space of the location. I have gone to their more grand counterpart in Rancho Bernardo (which is by far, my favorite!). But this one is conveniently close and more local. A cute place to take family for a short trip and have fun for 1-2 hours. Admission to enter is free. They set up these really cute displays in the entrance tent which is perfect to take some nice pictures for the season. I love that they allowed dogs this year (on leash)! Prices for stem of sunflower has gone up to $2 for this year. I will definitely be back again if they allow dogs next year too. Note to dog owners - Your dog may get dirty. Ours had brownish red paws from strolling in the sunflower fields. On that note, I think its a good idea to wear comfortable close-toed shoes. I don't recall getting my shoes dirty, but I think my shoes did a good job in warding off the dirt from the fields. read more

Pumpkin Station - He is so happy! :) - Kids Activities Near Me - Bonita, California

This place is no Bates nut farm, but it's a cute, small pumpkin station close to home. It is free to enter and has free parking everyday. There were many different sized pumpkins to choose from, carving kits for purchase, a corn maze, a hay ride, goat feeding, and multiple photo opportunities. There was no food or drinks to purchase, and no real seating areas. Came on a weekend (Sunday), so it was busy with other families. There were long lines to pay and for the activities. The pumpkin prices were high, but it was expected for the location. The hay ride, maze, and goat feeding were all reasonably priced. The station had a good amount of places to take pictures, and it's a fun little October activity to do with the kids. However, I can't see staying more than 1 hours here, due to the limited things to do and see. Might get boring fast, especially with the crowds. We were in and out in 30 minutes. We walked around the whole area and took a few pictures. Fun fall season activity to do and worth checking out. read more

Pumpkin Station - My little pumpkins. - Kids Activities Near Me - Bonita, California

BEWARE OF FIRE ANTS!!! I was there this morning with my daughter and parents and as we were leaving, I saw several huge fire ants crawling on my moms legs. Sure enough, one bit her on the foot and she has been in excruciating pain for hours! Looking outside in the parking lot... THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!! What's no where to be found is a sign warning people. As a parent of a young child with medical complexities, this is scary! We called to inform the manager and he pretty much said he is aware and doing what he can to get rid of them but has had no luck. Then he pretty much laughed at us! Honestly, this is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. We are in San Diego and pretty much everyone wears sandals. Plus all the small children getting out of the car to walk to the patch...?! Management is incredibly irresponsible for not at least posting warning signs. read more

Sorry but this place was just Ghetto. My family didn't enjoy this pumpkin patch. I know now for the future, I won't return! read more

For years, our tradition has always been to go to Bates Nut Farm for our pumpkins but this year decided to check out Pinery Pumpkin Patch. While Pinery is not as large and picturesque, it has many similar attractions such as a petting zoo, a tractor ride, and a maze. We made some great memories, got wonderful pictures, and found our perfect pumpkins! read more

I called before I got here and the man said they close @ 10:00 pm. There is a sign right on the gate as you enter and it says Sunday they close @ 10:00 pm. But they started kicking everybody out @ 9:00 pm saying their closed which is BS because they close @ 10:00 pm. I'm very disappointed and the man was very rude. Never comeing to this place again. read more

Great local place for the younger kids. Took our 2 and 3 yr old grandsons and they had a great time. Customer service was great. All that we talked with were super friendly and helpful. Nice variety of pumpkins from tiny to large. Different colors and textures. Is does get dusty and dry. Go early gets warm fast. Kids loved the hay ride. Will go back for the next few years then hit a bigger venue. read more

Overall, a nice Pumpkin Patch to visit. Not only do they have a bunch of pumpkins everywhere, but they also have a sunflower field & corn maze. You are allowed to cut the sunflowers & it's $1 per stem! Super deal compared to buying them at a flower shop. Corn Maze is $2 per person. To enter the Pumpkin Patch is entirely free! Parking is free as well, if their lot is full, they let cars park right across at the church. I'd recommend coming around 5pm, therefore, if you want any good pictures... you'll have perfect lighting & the sunset to catch. I would definitely come back & recommend this pumpkin patch to friends & family. read more

Pumpkin Station - Waiting for the Hay Ride - Kids Activities Near Me - Bonita, California

I went here based on the hopes that it was a "farm" to pick your own pumpkins off the vine, however it was like the mall where the pumpkins are prepicked and price tagged . They had a hayride and corn maze of which was $2. The pumpkin station coupon is not accepted here and no exceptions are made. The corn maze is really small and quite unlikely for the amount of land that this place had. I would not recommend if you are looking for a true "pick your own pumpkin" They have a "petting zoo" if you even want to call it that... It's a few goats enclosed in a small area and you are NOT allowed to feed let alone pet because there is barbed wire around them and if they come to the sides, then you might be able to interact. It was sad. read more

It's all you need in a pumpkin patch... They have plenty of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes...and colors. The corn maze is great for the little ones...the hay ride was a little lame, it's a 5-10 minute ride around the dirt lot in the back, with couple of stops at some beat up scare crows.. but the hay ride and the corn maze are still only $1 per person so I didn't feel like I was throwing my money away. There isn't a petting zoo, but instead a couple of goats that you can feed. There's an area for parties and a few places for great photo opportunities. I think they've done it right here by keeping the extras to a minimum so people will spend their money on the pumpkins. read more

It's the season to carve pumpkins fa-la-la-la-la-boo! My bf and I decide to venture to this pumpkin patch since this is were we came last year. When we walked through the door... Or tent haha, we were surprised to see that the pumpkins seemed much smaller this year. Upon inspection, they also seemed less quality and more expensive! We had big plans of pumpkin seeds and a carve date so we found the two best pumpkins in the patch and ended up paying 13 bucks each for them (4-5 dollars more expensive than last year). The older couple running the place were nice enough but it definitely lacked the special fall/ halloweenie feel of last year (even though we were surrounded by pumpkins, lol). They looked dirty, dark orange, and sad... Except our two of course. Overall, we had a great time carving them, and unfortunatly we left the pumpkin seeds in too long and they got burnt haha... But I'm not sure if I will be back next year based on the quality and price of this year :/ read more

Pumpkin Station - My scary pumpkin! - Kids Activities Near Me - Bonita, California

In search of a pumpkin patch not located in a shopping center parking lot if found Pumpkin Station from their website. San Diego lacks the farmland to pull off an authentic patch but this did a decent job. Hayrides, a Petting Zoo, Pumpkins on the Vine, and a not-so-challenging corn field maze. I think we waitied too long cause the vine fresh pumpkins were all picked through or had more hair the Don King. The de-vined pumpkins were also a little picked through but there were some good ones still to be had. Based on their size and comparison to the other they were obviously trucked in from somewhere not in the county. Seen better... and seen a lot worse. Great for kids though read more

Pumpkin Station - Save your money!!!!!!!!!!! - Kids Activities Near Me - Bonita, California

With my grandkids going on a field trips for years. This time around they didn't offer a pumpkin presentation. But I was happy to see the woman, Liz that gave the presentations previously was still there. She always gave a great and funny presentation. It's nice to see to see faces you recognize and better yet when they recognize you as a customer. Liz always welcomes you with a friendly smile and willing to make your visit so pleasurable. This place still remains awesome. For the field trip price of $15 it's a bargain. Hopefully my next trip won't be on such a hot day. Great place overall. read more

Great for kids, better than most around the area. Decided to return this year and take the kids but was disappointed to find out it has turned into a wanna be Instagram model paradise. Everywhere you turned pumpkins were being hogged by girls trying to have the perfect background for their pictures. we couldn't pick pumpkins because all the good ones were being put around some girls trying to take the perfect picture. read more

The staff were very nice, especially Rana & Crystyna. My children and I had a blast at the mini petting zoo, the hay ride and the corn maze. I would highly recommend this place, you will not regret it!! read more

I like coming here because it has a more "country" feel than the one by Southwestern college... That one is extremely commercial and I don't like that. The corn maze was not great this year... The corn stalks are way shorter than they were two years ago which went over my head. I could see over the top of them this year. I didn't end up buying a pumpkin this year because they also increased the prices. The hayride drivers are awesome though! I got what I go for every year -cute pictures! Overall, it's a cute place to go for a good hour and get cute pictures. If you want rides and slides, the southwestern college one is probably better for you. read more

I love this place. We went because the plaza Bonita pumpkin station was way too packed. We took my kids photos here. Went through the corn maze. Had so much fun. BUT there was a heavy wet blonde hair lady that was super rude not nice at all. If she doesn't like her job she shouldn't be working there. It's suppose to be a happy place to bring your family. There was a lot of little pumpkins by the farm house and she made it seem like we took them and put them there. We were only taking a photo. They were there when we got there. Maybe it's because we are Hispanic. Because she did not say any words to the other families taking the pictures there. read more

If you looking for a place to spend the day this place is not for you. Butttt....if you are looking for a quick spot in less than hour this place is definitely for you. We were in and out in about 30 min and did everything they had to offer for a very cheap price. Those things are a hay ride which is actually a joke but its a ride and you do sit on hay but what else can you expect for $2. Then its the corn maze which was a good effort but just ridiculously to small and there was absolutely no challenging moments but again greatly priced at $2 per person. I think Kids under 10 years old would enjoy this spot. We then went into the "pumpkin patch" and picked out our pumpkins paid and left. read more
