Having 2 small kids (a 4 and a 2 year old), I am always on the look out for fun family activities.  After living in Arizona for 10 years now, I finally went to my first pumpkin patch at Mother Nature’s Farm. And yes, it was worth the wait!  My kids and I had SO MUCH FUN!

Top 5 reasons I would definitely go again!

1. Pumpkins

The kids were able to pick out their own mini-pumpkin and decorate to their heart’s content with stickers galore. What a great way to safely and easily make their pumpkin their own!  For the adults, there was a beautiful display of pumpkins to choose from and of course, can you say photo op?!

2. Unlimited Hayrides

Yes, it’s the small things that they love. We went on it twice and while the scenery wasn’t acres and acres of pumpkins and farmland it was nice to take a moment away and just sit back and enjoy the ride!

3. Farm animals

There was a variety of farm animals the kids got to pet and feed including chickens, goats, pig, sheep and cows.  The kids’ favorite were the goats.  They were able to feed them hay and pumpkin seeds. They could have stayed there the whole time just feeding the animals!

4. Location

To my surprise the location was tucked away in the city of Gilbert, off of Baseline Rd between Cooper Rd. and Gilbert Rd. Saving on gas and time is ALWAYS a bonus!

5. Cost

We were able to go with a group and the cost was only $5/child which included a pumpkin and $2/adult. Not going with a group? Make that $7/child and $3/adult.

Of course, if that’s not enough reason, they also had  refreshments, an adventure maze, bounce house and cute locations for photo ops. Overall, I will definitely plan to go to Mother Nature’s Farm again!

Hope this review was helpful.  I am hoping to add more posts of places and activities for families in the near future.  I would love to hear from you!
