Aloun Farms

It’s kind of a late review. My first time here in the beginning of October. It was $ 3 for admission per person. It was really crowded that day, and really hot. Don’t forget to put sunscreen and bug repellent.
It’s like a little farm fair with booths for kids and adults. We played games and got some prizes (from Dave n Buster). There’s a mini market to get veggies and fruits. We got to see the pumpkin patch, sunflower field (small size), bean patch, and cornfield. Kids could ride horses and family can ride the train for free. Kids would love it here. There are also food booths.
It was fun while it lasted. I’m not too sure if I want to go again. It was really hot, but it was fun.

It was $ 8 admission regardless of age. $ 32 for a family of four, turn around and left because the entrance fee was too high. I was hoping for low admission cost so I can buy some
Pumpkins. Won’t be back.
**Update: My children went on a field trip to Aloun with her school. They brought back many small pumpkins. I noticed several holes in them and didn’t think nothing of it. Couple days later I found maggots crawling everywhere!!! eek! They were rotten from the inside. If you are scared of worms or maggots, you should be AWARE! Luckily we didn’t decide to make ‘homemade’ pumpkin purée! I think it is because of the pumpkin sitting in the heat for long hours and many days. Rotting attracting flies and other bugs.

We were looking forward to a great fall experience at the Pumkin Festival. Perhaps coming on the last day was not the best idea! We arrived early and there as already a line. This year the cost is $ 3 per person to enter. We paid $ 17 for a bucket to pick our own corn, and took a hay ride to the picking location. The woman running the hay rides was rude to visitors and the other staff members. When we arrived home we found that most of the corn was full or maggots.
The main area was hot and full of bugs. There was some shade under treees and they stacked up lots of small pumpkins, but they were rotting and the bugs and smell were awful! The tents to buy the tickets for games and rides were incredibly confusing. We left with one pumpkin that the woman tried to charge us $ 20 for.
Don’t think we will be back next year…

Beyond disappointed. Came a few years back when of course there was not a pumpkin shortage and we had a pretty good time. I dragged my bf and our friends out to Kunia from Waimanalo and Kaneohe to arrive at this sorry excuse for a Pumpkin Patch. It was more a pro if you have kids because the rides and games looked good but if that’s not the reason you went and you expected to pick actual Pumpkins, you were crap outta luck. Majority were destroyed, flies and pumpkin seeds everywhere which made it hard to want to walk by a pumpkin that looked promising, just to see it already gutted (mind you, atleast 90% were broken). Maybe it’s asking for too much for a worker to go around and dispose of the gourds that were obviously unsellable. There were no Sunflower fields this year. We did find a Large and Med pumpkin that came out to $ 20. I guess the flat rates per size could be a good and bad thing, but being that it is also $ 3 a person in the car, I probably would have stuffed my bf in the trunk to avoid giving this place more money. Don’t see how you could charge the same amount and deliver less. Should have went to Waimanalo Farm.

Pumpkin Patch
There is a yearly pumpkin patch that the farm host every October. The pumpkin patch is open on every weekend in the month of October. They open as early as 8:30am. Entry fee is $ 3 per person and children 2 year old and under are free. They have an awesome children’s area with bounce houses, carnival rides, petting animals and horseback riding. Unfortunately none of the fun children’s activities are free. :(Bring CASH!!! They do not accept credit card. There is an ATM in the property. There are many pumpkins to choose from. This year we picked a medium white pumpkin since I thought a white pumpkin is unique. There are FREE hayrides to other parts of the farm like the self serve corn and green bean picking.
I would recommend coming to the Pumpkin Patch every year! It’s a fun experience but it is hot! Wear sunscreen and bring an umbrella. Don’t forget to bring cash!

We look forward to visiting the pumpkin patch here every year!
This year was my daughter’s first time (it’s her first Halloween!) and she’s only 11 months old…
The Pumpkin Patch had free parking (and lots of it, with employees helping to direct some of the traffic), but the admission is $ 3 per person. Children under 2 years old are free. There is a free hayride also! TIP: If you bring the flyer (you may see some at retailers), you get $ 1 off admission for one person!
However, it is completely outdoor with some tents set up as shelters with tables.
Aside from picking pumpkins (large selections, various sizes… even had a «munchkin patch» with the baby pumpkins for kids to pick), there was also sunflower, bean, and corn picking!
It was very crowded, but what can you expect. It is a very hot and dusty. We had our daughter with us, so we brought her stroller, her carrier, and an umbrella! Have your kids wear sunscreen and a hat. Maybe you should wear it, too. Wear shoes! Bring lots of water.
Really wanted to ride the hayride, but the line was way too long.
I was kind of disappointed with the selection of food. There were few choices, and LONG lines. If they had more choices, I’m sure the lines would have been less. Waited 10 – 15 minutes to even place an order (ordered from Flo’s Kitchen). They had more than one shaved ice stand, which was a nice refresher in the heat!
There was also entertainment, contests, and games/​activities for kids (waterball, inflatable slide, and games).
Four stars because what we came here for (pumpkin-​picking) went smoothly. Even with the large amounts of people, there was enough space to be away from the crowd while picking pumpkins, and a decent selection of pumpkins, too.
TIP: Go early, they open from 8:30am. This is probably when it won’t be so hot.

I understand that they cannot control the weather, but I was bummed out that they had no signs about not being able to pick sunflowers. The only reason that we even went was to pick the sunflowers. Besides that the hay ride was good, we saw some interesting sights. Everyone looked like they were enjoying the pumpkin patch

It was SO HOT & CROWDED.
Not a lot of pumpkins like stated on the news BUT it was a nice experience for our little family.
At the exit is some watermelons and the car infront of us pulled over and stole a few.
TSK TSK.
God is watching. :)

With a toddler and infant, all we did was visit the Pumpkin Patch. Both kids had fun just playing in the dirt! Total cost $ 9. $ 6 admission for 2 adults and $ 3 for two small pumpkins.
We got there at 9:00 a.m. and the parking lot was already filled. It’s also hot and dusty. So be prepared. Make sure you have some water, sunscreen, hats and an umbrella.

Follow the orange flags, after you exit the freeway, (exit3)
Coming from town side.
The flags will lead you to Aloun Farm.
When you enter the farm, they will collect the entrance fee,
(I thought they were collecting for parking-​last year we paid when we arrived at booth) 3.00 per person.
The reason for the long drive from town to Aloun a Farms in Kapolei? It’s Fall & Halloween is coming up, so that means Pumpkin Patch time!
This is my 2^nd year attending this event.
I enjoyed it last year, this year wasn’t as great as last year.
Please dress comfortably, have the right shoes, (shoes is best) — you will be walking in lots of dirt from the parking to patch & during the pumpkin patch, sun screen, insect repellent, hats, visor, make sure you are hydrated. It’s Very HOT!
There are pumpkins galore, all sizes, and variety.
There are mini ones and different variety. You pick your pumpkins and pay for them before you leave. As you walk in to the patch, there are pumpkins for you to choose. The mini ones are 3/​$ 2.00. Prices for pumpkin are 6.00 for small, 9.00 for medium, & 12.00 for large. I enjoyed looking at the pumpkins & had fun picking a pumpkin.
My family enjoyed the hay ride, which besides the pumpkin, my 2^nd reason I enjoyed this event. There are 2 hay ride and they stop by every 10 mins. The ride is about 15 minutes.
We bought tickets for corn picking. 17.00 for all you can fill bucket. No husking of horn as you will be charged a penalty. The price went up from 11.00 last year to 17.00. –not sure if this is worth 17.00. We went way out in the corn field. Starting picking a few until we realized the corn had many bugs and worms. It was gross, I remember last year our corn wasn’t like this. I went to get a refund, luckily the worker apologized and gave me back my money.
There are no sunflowers this year for picking. There are very few but not for picking. :(
I wanted to pick string beans, 6.00 a pot. I looked at the plants and I didn’t see much beans, so decided not to.
I hope next year’s crop will be better!
There are food booths, even shave ice, inflatables, few rides for kids, entertainment, petting zoo, 2 booth for prizes by United Health Care & the Croc Center.
As you enter, on your right, there is a farmer’s market. The prices for produce is cheap. I got 3 mini watermelon for 5.00.
Overall, we had a great time, I enjoyed spending family time together at the pumpkin patch.
Don’t forget to bring water!
Enjoy & Happy Halloween 2015!

Review for the PUMPKIN PATCH.
Admission is $ 3 per person, you pay as you drive in so have cash ready. Parking is free. Parking is good and easy.
There’s lots of bounce houses and a couple rides, I didn’t have the kids so I didn’t really investigate this. I bought a ticket to do self pick beans ($ 6/​bucket) and corn ($ 17/​bucket) prices went up a little from last year. This year you don’t need to take the hay ride (free) to get to the corn or beans. You can take the hayride anyways (I did because I didn’t know) and see pumpkins and Mt Ewa a big mountain covered in pumpkins. You’re NOT ALLOWED to bring wagons/​strollers on the hay ride.
For doing self pick you can fill the bucket to overflowing as long as it will sit in the bucket without you holding it on.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, water, etc. I also brought my garden shoes and a big bag to carry my produce.
I gave four stars because it is a bit pricey and very hot and humid.

This is my first time ever at a pumpkin patch. It was fun, but so hot. I’m all sunburned. They had ample parking and it was $ 3 per person to get in, age 2 and under are free.
The first thing that I noticed was that it was so dusty. Everyone was kicking up dirt as they were walking that it turned into a dirt storm. I had to cover my face so that I didn’t breathe in the dirt.
Once on the inside, there’s quite a few things to do. You can pick your own corn and pumpkin. There were also rides, games, food booths, entertainment, and the hayride. The hayride was my favorite, even though the line was so long. The hayride takes you to the other side of the farm, where you can get off and see Mount Ewa. It’s a huge mountain, made from stacks of pumpkins. When you’re done, you catch the hayride back to the other side.
We looked at the pumpkin patch and didn’t see too many good pumpkins. I believe there’s a shortage this year. It was $ 17 for a bucket of corn that you can pick yourself. I was contemplating it, but decided against it. There was no way I was going to kneel in the hot sun and pick $ 17 worth of corn.

OH! Aloun Farms! I had sooooo much fun today!
This was my first time ever going to a pumpkin patch or farm or just a huge farm like this in general.
BRING CASH!!!
Produce: Corn is $ 17 for a 4gal bucket, but dang let me tell you, I only got 2 big bags full but people were stacking it like crazy!!! All in all very worth much worth it. The Green Beans were $ 6 a bucket, again soooo worth it! Beautiful beautiful vegetables! The farmers market shop was a little small but good selection, I didn’t see onions or carrots but I did get some beautiful eggplant And garlic.
The event: Well, what goes better then country music on a farm! My favorite type of music, playing in the background while picking some
Corn and beans perfect! They also had some food stands, selling ice shave and other things. Perfect for a hot ass day like today! The staff was super friendly. They had activities, and also a free hay ride to the pumpkins.
Parking: I suggest you come early if not your gonna be walking super super far.
PS. Bring one of those rolling wagons or a dolly or something! Cause you gonna be needing it trust me :) also don’t wash your car prior to going because it will get dusty haha.

Wow I guess my expectations were high based on the reviews, 3 $ a person sounds great, but that is just for parking, they advertise free games but the «FREE» games require a person to run them, I guess sense there is no money to be made no one is running those «FREE» games, the children rides/​bounce houses cost 2 $ to 4 $ each ride, or a 20 $ all day pass, the food vendors are along for the robbery as well, costing 5 $ for one cob of corn, holy crap, expect to pay tons of money to be able to have a normal time, and sitting and shade is hard to find, very poorly ran place, can’t believe they have so many good reviews

Halloween is around the corner and I’ve never been to the pumpkin patch or sunflower field, but really enjoyed spending the day at Aloun Farms… didn’t have sunflowers in bloom at the time, but had fun hunting down corn. Pumpkins are priced by size and corn was by however much you could fit into a 5 gallon bucket (a lot, trust me) for around $ 15. Went mainly for the pumpkin/​sunflowers/​corn, but they also had other produce there too.
If you’re planning on checking it out, make sure you bring an umbrella at the least, as it gets pretty hot out there in the open… or rainy, with our unpredictable weather. And it can be windy and dirty… it’s a farm, lol. Have fun!

I came here to take the mini me pumpkin picking for Halloween. I fell in love! This place reminds me of where I grew up. It has a hint of the true fall feel. Hay rides, a few rides, pumpkin fields, sunflowers like the ones that grow on my Grandma’s porch. I have to say living on an island I’ve been so used to wearing flip flops year round. I forgot about how dirty pumpkin picking is. My feet were completely covered in dirt. I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes.
Also you can buy melons, potatoes, and sweet corn. Check it out.

First time at a pumpkin patch in Hawaii. The first pumpkin patch was in Portland, Oregon for myself. Same concept except the farm has a family festival this weekend since October ends this coming week. The hours are from 8:30 to 5pm today.
To park at the farm, you need to pay $ 3 per person and what I hear from the previous reviews, they used to charge per vehicle but they changed it in the recent years. The price varies from $ 3 to 25 per pumpkin based on weight. You can also self pick corn for $ 15 a bucket and sweet beans for $ 5 per basket. The kiddy rides range from $ 5 (feed the turkey, etc) to 10 (pony rides and kiddy rides but don’t quote on the ride prices.
You can pick the sunflowers, saw so many people taking some home :) I don’t know anywhere else on the island has sunflower fields. Since the staff is so busy directing traffic, selling produce, and manning the rides and food vendors, they don’t pay attention.
Beware that the farm is in Kapolei so it is super humid there. Wear shorts and hats including sunglasses. Bring sunscreen so you don’t burn out in the hot sun.

This place is WAY better than Waimanalo Pumpkin patch, if onlly because they actually grow their own pumpkins and you pick them from the patch.
There are a lot of activities for your kids to do out here. I saw FREE hayrides, carnival rides, photo ops, horse rides, live music… there was a lot going on.
The pumpkins were also a lot more affordable. We got 2 XL and 1 XS pumpkin and it only set us back $ 17. Parking was $ 3 per person.
The downside was getting to this place, since half of Old Framington Hwy is closed, you have to detour and the sings that mark the way are non-​existent. I suggest busting out your Google Maps.

****WARNING, IF YOU GOOGLE MAP THIS PLACE IT WILL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE, IT’S BEST TO GO ON THEIR WEBSITE AS THEY DISCLOSE THE CORRECT INFORMATION ON HOW TO FIND THEM****
This was my very first pumpkin picking experience, and wow there were so many pumpkins to choose from!
Entry fee was $ 2.00 per adult. They do have pricing for the sizes of the pumpkin. My husband and I got 2 decent size pumpkins for $ 5.00 each. It is still cheaper than buying a pumkin from a grocery store and paying by weight.
This place is perfect for children, or if you wanted to just experience what picking out a ffresh pumpkin straight from the patch.

I came here for the first time for the Sweet Onion Festival. I am ashamed to say I live about 5 minutes away from this farm, but never bothered to come here. It was a fabulous event and I love how it’s an interactive activity for everyone.
When you first enter, you have to pay $ 3.00 a person, not per car. There was a good amount of people there, but there was still open stalls left to park. Don’t be afraid to drive all the way in. Otherwise if you take one of the first aisles, you’ll be walking a long ways to the entrance.
Once inside, there are kiddie rides, and a farm/​onion themed food court with tents/​picnic tables to eat under. There was also a stage, but I think we got there a bit too late for the entertainment.
Due to this festival being near the Easter weekend, there was a big Easter egg hunt for the kids which I thought was so neat. There’s so many places to hide the eggs in the corn fields.
We first started off with the hayride to the onion patch. It’s quite a ways out so you have to take it. It’s free though. The ride was the first time I’ve ever experienced a hayride and it was really nice and relaxing. Riding the hayride makes you realize how huge this farm is.
When we finally arrived at the onion patch, you could walk around wherever you chose and pull out your own onions. There are white sweet Ewa onions and red onions to pick. The red onions are further down the patch. For only $ 5.00, you get a stretchy bag and you can fit as many onions as you can in the bag. What a deal! Be sure to bring a pocket knife to cut off the stems and also maybe a backpack or bag to hold the onions, as it gets heavy.
Next, we went to pick corn. For $ 12.00 a 5 gallon bucket, you can go into the corn fields and pick your own corn. Fill up the bucket, even if it’s overflowing on top, and it’s still $ 12.00. We were experts at this and came out with 5 plastic bags of corn, while others only bagged 2 – 3 bags. Stack em! I thought this was the most fun, as it’s interactive and you can get lost in the corn fields.
The last activity we did was get a small pot for $ 5.00 for green beans. Same concept, go to the green bean bushes and pick as many beans as you can and fill the pot up.
Between the four of us, we made out with great fresh produce and split the cost. A total deal!
After all that «farming,» we went to the food court and got our meals. There was Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, Pizza Hut, Blue Water Teppenyaki, and an ice cream shop among others. Prices were reasonable and probably the same if you were to go to their brick and mortar restaurants. Some tweaked their menu a little to celebrate the onion festival as there were pancake battered onion rings and I got Maui onion chips with my burger instead of fries.
All in all it was a nice day here. I’d definitely bring your kids here as it’s a great family/​friend event. I’ll be coming back to experience the pumpkin hayrides in the fall.
