    Petting area
    Sarah S.

    First time here .. super friendly folks ! Selection and price of pumpkins was good ! Ticket prices were good too for the hay ride , train ride , petting zoo , animal food , and sunflower cutting . Wasn't too sure about this place when I drove by but it's so peaceful and calm . They do close at 6pm so getting here midday worked . You do need at least a couple hours if your going to do everything they have to offer . There isn't any food for sale , they do sell waters , however you are allowed to bring in snacks and drinks to this one . One of the best , peaceful pumpkin patch family visits we have done ! I recommend this place !

    This pumpkin patch is one of my favorite ones because of the activities, ample parking, and free admission, but I was disappointed that the sunflowers were not ready to be picked this past October. Nonetheless, it's a very family friendly place for pumpkin picking, hay ride, petting zoo and photo opportunities.

    A pumpkin patch good for families if you don't wanna drive too far into the boonies! We came here last year and this year as well. Getting here early is key, like other pumpkin patches, otherwise you would be waiting in line. They had train ride, hayride, petting zoo with hay as feed if you wanna pay extra, sunflower fields etc. at this pumpkin patch. The prices were reasonable. The people were friendly. The patch wasn't too massive so it's manageable if you want a quick stop for photos since admission and parking was free. We had a great time here with another family. The two kiddos were chasing each other around in the sunflower fields! But if you are willing to drive farther out, the one in Valley Center is still my favorite.

    They had a corn maze and so many beautiful sunflowers ! Oh yeah and lots of pumpkins!

    We have consistently come here the past few years as it is one of the better pumpkin patches and we have always enjoyed the amount of activities that they have! We have picked sunflowers in the past and always buy pumpkins here, which are fairly priced. They have a variety of pumpkins and gourds that you can choose from! The workers here have always been friendly and parking is ample. However, we were just here yesterday and I am taking off one star since none of the sunflowers are ready to be picked yet! They had a few rows of huge (I mean HUGE, like the size of my head) sunflowers that were past their prime and many other rows of sunflowers that have not yet budded. I believe they may be ready soon though! A very family friendly and pet friendly place to visit if you are looking for some fall festivities in San Diego, but maybe wait a bit if you wish to pick the sunflowers in addition to buying pumpkins.

    We come here every year- it's just minutes away from our home in Rancho Bernardo but it feels like we have been transported to a farm out in the countryside. The kids really enjoyed the speediest and most adventurous hayride I've ever been on. It was busy but the lines moved quickly and the service was excellent. Memories have been made and the pumpkins are reasonably-priced.

    Been to two pumpkin patches this year and this one has better photo ops!! They also have a sunflower field you can pick flowers from. You can purchase tickets for activities such as the petting zoo, corn maze, hay ride, etc.

    Had the greatest time! Everything was well organized, the workers were friendly and there were lots to do! The grandkids were happy and knocked out on the way home! We took lots of great pics and made lots of wonderful memories!

    Beautiful sunflowers

    Super cute place for photo ops and pumpkin picking! My son loved the train and the hay ride. I didn't get a chance to pick any sunflowers cause my son was too occupied with running around. Definitely need to come back!

    Overall a simple but fun experience. The experience of being out in the open (vs. a converted corner of an urban parking lot) made the drive from LA worth it to go check out. Pros: 1. I liked the sunflower field. It was fun to pick our own stems ($2/each). I liked that if a stem had multiple flowers on it, it still counted as one stem. 2. I liked the corn maze. It's pretty small but was better on the inside than what I first thought walking up to it. It's not really that much of a maze, but since I've been trapped at home all year due to the pandemic, this was relatively really fun to me lol (if you are with people you like). 3. There are a few haystacks with giant pumpkins where you can take pictures to your heart's content. 4. Cute farm animals to watch, esp. the goats (but we couldn't enter the enclosure). 5. They have all kinds of pumpkin sizes. If you want a freakishly big one, they have those too. Cons: 1. It's a dirt field (and parking lot) so expect to get very dusty. 2. I was hoping to see pumpkins in the patch, but there were just a few already picked and lined up. (In fairness, I went on Halloween day, so it makes sense that everything was already harvested and sold by now).

    By far the best pumpkin station as it's actually attached to a small farm. We went last year and this year and decided to go earlier in the month. The U-pick sunflower fields were gorgeous and full, pumpkins were still on the vine and we had a blast with the hay ride, train and petting zoo. Absolutely worth your time. $4/tickets for the rides/petting zoo (1 adult free with each kid) and sunflowers are $2/stem

    t was so much fun visiting the sunflower farm at Pumpkin Station in Rancho Bernardo. I highly recommend it if you're in the area or headed down to San Diego. I have never seen anything like it before and all the different colored sunflowers they had. Only $2 per sunflower and you get to cut them right off the stalk.

    Bait and switch coupon
    Jane K.

    We've been coming here for years due to not wanting to make the trek to Bates Nut Farm deep in Escondido. The sunflowers are a great photo op, and the kids have a great time picking out their pumpkins. Why the 2 stars? We have fond memories of this place but now ruined since we were treated like crap this year with whoever was running the train and his counterpart. They have a bait and switch thing going on for their mini train they have on site. The coupon on their site says one free ride per customer and the guy insisted it was per family. We were still willing to pay for the other ticket since we have two kids so we walked back to the front to buy the ticket. We showed the front desk the coupon and they agreed it is per customer. When we went back to the train the guy insisted again one customer means family. Technically we came as 4 separate families so I really didn't get what the issue was and we all purchased pumpkins. I explained even the front desk person told us to just show our coupons to the train ticket person again. He then turned away and started talking crap to the other staff member in front of other customers. A lady kindly offered to have her daughters take my younger son by himself after seeing the staff treat us like this but I was fuming by this point and had to walk away before I made a scene. Fix your coupon if you don't want this to be an issue. Don't treat your customers like crap due to not making your own fine print clear. We'll be making our trips back to Bates next year. It is far but at least we won't be dealing with staff that thinks it's okay to talk crap about their customers in front of their face after their own mishap.

We had a horrible experience while trying to find our annual Christmas tree given the birth of our son earlier this year. We arrived on their first opening day this season very excited to buy a real tree. There was ZERO customer service when husband and I were trying to inquire about tree selection or delivery process. There were plenty of people at the cashier booth and lot. All seemed eager to NOT help. It was painfully obvious that the temp seasonal staff just wanted to do the bare minimum and get their hourly pay. We waited 15-30 minutes in line just to get a run around with staff members on tree selection. This was even before we were able to pay the cashier the $120 worth of tree we picked out. We then asked about a portapotty on the lot in which the cashier answered "I don't know, I just got here." Seriously, find another Christmas tree lot for your annual Christmas tree or buy an artificial tree to save yourself from this sour experience. I took the time to send an email on our horrible experience on their website. No human response at all. They don't care.

CLEAN and CRISP spring mix, ripe peaches, the tastiest strawberries that you've ever eaten! And potatoes to die for! Yes, even something as simple as the humble potato can be a thing of glory when it is FRESH and roasted with tasty butter and herbs! Out of this world taste!

    Caution!! LOWE'S DOES NOT TAKE ITEMS BACK, EVEN IF SOLD DAMAGED!…read more I purchased a $3,000.00 Swamp cooler from Lowes. I put it in my business for the recent heat wave 2 days later. The unit had a mildew smell to it; it also leaked and did a very, very poor job of cooling the area. The unit was 6 feet tall, 2.5 feet wide, and 4 feet deep. It required a trailer to move. It has been 8 days, and I tried to return it, and they said they will not take it back! They stated they have a 48-hour return policy for most electronics if not all electronics. I told them about the problems, and they said I need to deal with the manufacturer as they would do nothing for me! They said they would only take back items IF I used their Lowe's credit card to purchase it, so they discriminate based on the method you pay with for returns! I contacted the manufacturer, and they are making me jump through a ton of hoops to get anything done. Due to the heat wave, I need to get a replacement solution in my facility, so I purchased and had installed mini-splits, another 4k to deal with the issue that Lowes will not honorably take care of. I have contacted my credit card company and filed a dispute, and they said that Lowes is NOT doing the right thing. So, in my humble opinion: DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING ELECTRONIC FROM LOWES, ESPECIALLY FOR CHRISTMAS, AS THEY DO NOT TAKE BACK CERTAIN ITEMS PAST 2 DAYS! That new cordless drill you purchase for Xmas, they will not honor a return! I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $350, AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME WITH THIS WARRANTY. In my opinion Lowes adds 0 value to the purchase of an extended warranty. do not purchase it, just purchase it from a different store like Home Depot or even amazon.
