Anderson Farms

Anderson Farms has a little something for everyone, from corn mazes to panning for gold to the perfect backdrop for a family photo to pumpkin painting and zombie hunting. For this reason, Anderson Farms earns its 4 star rating.
A few other things we really enjoyed:
We liked the hayride to the pumpkin patch. It was just long enough and offers a breathtaking view of the Front Range!
Speaking of the pumpkin patch, the pumpkins at Anderson Farms are some of the more attractive pumpkins I’ve ever seen! There was a lot of variety in shape, size and color (including white pumpkins and very pale orange pumpkins).
We felt the organization of various aspects of the park were fairly top notch. For example, the zombie paintball trip that hubby talked me into had a quick line and an organized process for boarding the cart and being assigned to a paintball gun.
The corn maze is Yuge (to quote «The Donald») and more fun than most as there are various checkpoints to find.
All of the employees we interacted with were helpful and fun.
We live in. Denver, and are likely to make the trip next year again! For first timers, my tip would be to purchase tickets online (I hear you can also get tickets at King Soopers) in order to skip the long lines.

We’ve been to Anderson Farms before, it was pretty fun, this time though was awful. The staff were incredibly rude, from the ticket office all the way through. There wasn’t nearly as much to do as the past few times we went, it was over all just disappointing.

Did Zombie Paintball. Paid $ 30 for the quick pass. Definitely not worth that… 8 – 10 minutes and we saw maybe 5 or 6 actual people who were zombies to shoot at, the rest were mannequins… Would not recommend to anyone over the age of 8.

Me and the wife got food poisoning from this place. Corn Maze was interesting at night, but getting sick on the way home (and for the next few days) was a bummer.
STAY AWAY FROM THE FOOD HERE

I’ve been coming every year since I was in 3^rd grade. Arms I’ll probably continue this tradition. I’m 20 and still for in the barrel train!
The only reasons I’m giving it 3 stars is this:
1) I miss the «scary» scenes in the silos. I know that the roof caved in one year, but that was years ago, it would be awesome if you brought it back.
2) terror in the corn. I’ve stayed doing this the past couple of years and it’s been fun. I’m not usually scared at haunted houses, but last year they did get me. Toss year unfortunately, not at all. It was also more rushed this year. One of the best parts about the wagon ride to terror was all the little stages worth the actors threatening the guests with monsters. This year they just drove past it. Though the set up with the Wells hotel was cool.

Loads of good old fashion fun. Great place for the entire family and a great place for your kids to see a real working farm.

We waited 3 hours…3 HOURS for Terror in the Corn (on a Sat night). Had I known, I wouldn’t have even gone. But at some point you’re just too invested to back out. I wouldn’t wait 3 hours to see the Pope, or Jake Gyllenhaal. It was absolutely ridiculous, and unacceptable, really. A sign warning how long the wait is at a certain point seems necessary. To top it off, the «hayride» lasted about 2 minutes. They drop you off in the cornfield to walk through a few really crappy haunted houses, where you have to, wait for it… WAIT IN LINE AGAIN. In The first house, not 1 single actor or thing jumped out. The rest had a little more action, but for $ 20 and 3 hours, you expect way more. You’re so cold at that point though you just want to run through it to get it over with. Needless to say, Terror in the corn has moved to the top of my list of Things I’ll never do again.
On a side note, while we didn’t get there early enough to do anything else, there did seem to be quite a few options, with the corn maze, fair food, etc. That’s the only reason they got 2 stars.

The Anderson Farms experience is definitely something that kids will enjoy. A lot of the rides, attractions, and stations are designed to please either children or teenagers.
With that said, it was a bit of a dull experience for me and my friends. Something I would recommend to adults only if no other options are available. It can be used as a relaxing night out, but other than that the attractions are a bit ordinary. Nothing too spectacular.
The line to get in can also be incredibly long!

Love coming here. Came last year for the first time and now we’re bringing the whole family. Getting busy now it seems. Long lines for food but still a very enjoyable place to come. Love the live music and all the things to do there so you’re never bored. It’s like an October Disneyland.,

Anderson farms is normally a must for the Fall season, however this year they let me down. We purchased tickets online to avoid a wait, which I sincerely recommend, did the corn maze, then grabbed some kettle corn.
What we didn’t realize was the line for Terror in the Corn was half way across the park, and thus began what we didn’t know would be a three-​hour wait. Come 11pm and we’ve finally made it and they didn’t have actors at half the stuff. And then, cause there were so many of us they were trying to send through, they didn’t break us up into groups of 4-​ish like previous years and the scare-​factor dissipated.
Obviously it was a big mistake to go on a Saturday night. It’s still a good attraction but be warned.

Face painter was pretty talented. Every thing was over priced. $ 4 for a 8oz lemonade. The Pony ride made me a little sad. They walked in circles in the hot sun all day with no water. The hay ride to the pumpkin patch was cool and they had a lot of nice pumpkins to pick. And the ribs on a stick earned about 2 of these stars. Yum. Oh yah, go early because the line are ridiculous. R

Had a great time here over the weekend for their «Fall Fest». We were lucky enough to have really beautiful weather, in the 80’s, and a cool evening.
I really liked the ride out to the pumpkin patch. We were one of the last ones out, at 6:00PM, and got to see the sun as it was going down. I was a little skeptical of how they price their pumpkins though, the have a cut out for the sizes, and one of the «Medium» pumpkins, would have been considered «Small» to me. I think we ended up spending $ 27 on 3 pumpkins, so I suppose it equals out. There is also something charming about going out and taking your pumpkin from the vine, and finding the one that’s just right for you.
We also did the maze, for a little bit, as we didn’t want to miss the ride to the pumpkin patch. Its amazing to me how they create the maze, and the overhead image it creates. I haven’t been to a corn maze, but was expecting an entrance and an exit, rather than finding different check points. I suppose it makes sense though so that you’re not required to follow a group of people all headed in the same direction. There is also a haunted house on site, for about $ 20/​person. We didn’t do this, but it looked pretty fun.
There were a few things that were included in the entrance price ($ 13/​person), but I feel like it should have been a little less expensive. Most of the other activities did cost money.
Lots of good food, including Chic-​Fila, and delicious popcorn made just minutes before! I also like the Smore station, where you can sit by the fire and make your own dessert.
Some things that I didn’t like… There were a lot of campfires going at the same time, and personally, it was starting to burn my eyes and lungs. Just a lot of smoke in a small area. It’s always heartbreaking to me to see ponies, donkeys, and horses, connected to metal poles and being forced to walk in a circle all day so that kids can ride them. There is a much bigger issue here, but I’m confident I’m not the only one that this bothers.
Overall, it was a great day. we spent 4 hours there, and there was still more to do.
Id definitely go again next year.

QHad a wonderful visit at Anderson farm. My grandson is five years old and talked about how much fun he had, all the way home. The entrance fee of 13.00 is a little steep, but there are a lot of activities included with the fee. My grandson’s favorite activity was mining for fossils. That was an additional 9.00. I’m glad we only had one grandson with us, but he absolutely loved it. In the end, that is all that mattered.
It was a great day.

Had an amazing time at Anderson Farms. There is so much to see and do that I want to go back again. They have a huge 30 acre maze, and hayride on an old tractor, pumplin decoring and throwing, as well as the petting zoo. Something for everyone. I think I enjoyed the hay ride the most. This is definitely something the whole family can enjoy. Happy Travels.

The best pumpkin patch and fall festival in CO! Fun for kids and adults. If you haven’t been, go. You won’t regret it.

Our kids love going here every year. Lots of activities for them: Rubber Duck Water Game, Gem Mining, Pedal Karts, Barrel Train, Mine Cars, Face Painting, Farm Animal Petting Zoo, Corn Maze, Tire Mountain, Kiddie Corral, Pumpkin Patch Hayride. They also have Private Campfire Sites, Concessions, Country Store, Food Vendors and sometimes a Live Band. Since our kids school age we ventured on to TERROR IN THE CORN. They loved it. They scream and laugh every time. Next year we might let them do ZOMBIE PAINTBALL.
One downside. RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE! The Pumpkin Patch is a fun experience but buy a teeny pumpkin. You can get a big one for much cheaper at the grocery store.

I have been bringing my little girl here for the last 4 years. Today marked 5 years we have made it. This year was a little different. She now has a younger sister and this was her first year! All of the animals are friendly, the pumpkins were beautiful, and the view!
There is an entrance fee which honestly isn’t horrible. $ 10 per person. If I remember correctly early in the season you can harvest from the whole farm? I could be wrong. But each time we went we had grocery bags full of veggies and peppers to bring home and keep a couple of bags and take the rest to the Denver rescue mission.
I recommend bringing your own lunch. That is where they hit you in the wallet. Otherwise it’s amazing! Also, terror in the corn and zombie paintball is super fun! Check it out!

Went to pick pumpkins and spend a part of the afternoon outside on a perfect fall Sunday. After parking in an enormous (and I really really mean HUGE) parking lot and hiking to the entrance, we had to wait in a very long line to pay the admission. Luckily we realized after about 10 or 15 minutes that you could purchase tickets online from your phone and skip the rest of the line (we saw others doing the same). Unfortunately, after the long wait there was still a $ 12 entry fee per person, which gave you access to a great (and huge) corn maze, a variety of activities that would probably appeal more to kids, but not much for adults, and of course access to a hay ride out to their pumpkin patch (pumpkins however were not included). We enjoyed wandering in the corn maze, and it was large enough that we often felt distanced from the many other individuals and families exploring the maze. This was definitely the highlight for us. After the corn maze we waited in line (though much shorter than it had been earlier) for a bottle of water and sno-​cone that weren’t too terribly priced (but still expensive).
We finished our visit with waiting in line again for the hay ride (though more of a tractor ride since there was no hay to sit on in the tractor) out to the pumpkin patch. There were a lot of people out selecting pumpkins, however the patch was huge and we were able to find pumpkins still on the vine. There were plenty of pumpkins set right along the road for those less adventurous individuals who didn’t want to trek out to find them on the vines. We both found great pumpkins after 5 to 10 minutes and the tractor headed back after about 15 – 20 minutes. This is when we had to pay for the pumpkins which weren’t included in the price of admission (although they were reasonably priced as compared to the grocery store).
I can’t imagine taking a family here, for just the two of us we spent around $ 55 for an afternoon. Between the cost and the constant waiting I felt like the farm itself didn’t live up to what I would have wanted. It’s a pricey afternoon for an average experience, but I don’t know what other options are available in the area. However on a perfect fall day with amazing company I really can’t complain about having an opportunity to spend time outside.

IMHO, the best pumpkin patch on the front range. A $ 12 entrance fee gives you access to the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and other various attractions for children of all ages. I compared a $ 10 pumpkin at King Soopers, which sold for $ 6 at Anderson Farms. They have a great selection of pumpkins: orange, white, red, and some which combined several colors.
Two important things to remember — get there early and stay away if it rains. They opened at 10a and by 1130a, the line was about 15 – 20 minutes long. If it rains, it will turn into a big mud puddle, great for kids I guess, but not so much for adults. Will be back next year. Thanks!

I’m not sure if my review is working so I’m going to try it this way too. I recently had my son’s birthday here at the campfire site which was extremely reasonable for a cost. A party of up to 20 got to enjoy an entire day’s events at a pumpkin patch and corn maze hunted house and shooting zombies. I do feel that the Smore’s package was a little expensive for what you got we could’ve brought our own Smore’s package for a lot cheaper that part made me really sad but little baggies our individual did make everyone feel special. I will definitely come back next year and reserve another site and probably every year after that!
