Yule Forest Hwy 155

This is close to home and our girls really enjoyed it! When we went this year we had been there maybe 10minutes and it started pouring down rain with no sign of stopping… long story short we left empty handed and our girls were so sad. However the next week we went back so they could actually get the pumpkin and after talking to the women up front and telling them how it was our 2^nd time due to weather they did not make us pay again and let us take the girls in to enjoy what they wanted to when we originally went! The customer service was good!

I went to Yule to get a potted Christmas tree, so that I may replant it outside after Christmas. (The only place surrounding ATL with potted trees! :) We arrived around 7:30pm because we drove down from Atlanta, and I, mistakenly, thought they stayed open until 9pm. They were obviously closed upon arrival, but there were 2 men in their truck ready to pull out on what we later found was their delivery service run.
A man, who seemed to be the owner, got out of his running and loaded truck to tell us they were closed and the register was gone and the men who help load trees were gone. I was so disappointed. I was 9 months pregnant and had been in the car for an hour. And I really wanted a potted tree to replant.
We made one last plea and told him we had cash and didn’t need change. Slowly he started to seem like he would sell us the late night tree. He kindly helped up chose the right tree, loaded it up with his tractor, and took our money. And then! He gave us a $ 10 discount to go to the ‘baby fund.’ Of course, we refused the offer, as he was doing us a favor, but he wouldn’t let us leave without handing back the discounted $ 10. I almost cried (9 mos pregnant) at the thought of his kindness as he instructed my husband in how to care for the tree. He wished us a Merry Christmas and left on his delivery, now late because of us.
I will only buy my trees there from now on.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

We go there every year for our Christmas tree. They give great service and make it lots of fun. Always very helpful and friendly. Check them out this Christmas season.

So the place does not close till 9 or 10 on Friday and Saturdays, but beware if you want to buy pumpkins you have to get there before 6 or 7. How dumb is that? I was there around 730 to buy 5 pumpkins and they turned down my money because they «stop» selling at 7, but they still have the cash register open to sell tickets for the night activities. So needless to say I went to Kroger and got my pumpkins (Kroger is up the street and their pumpkins are cheaper). If I were the owner of the pumpkin patch I would like to know when my employees turn down a buying customer.

This is the 2^nd time that we have been here in the last 3 years as its one of the closer ones to Atlanta. It was very entertaining for our 2 year old, with a jump pillow, and several jump houses. The hayride is cheesy for adults but the majority of the kids seemed to like it; mine did!
The petting zoo is nothing special but the kids were able to pet donkeys, sheep, goats and an emu. They did have some other attractions such as a puppet show, a bee house and a reptile house.
Another reviewer stated that they only had prepicked pumpkins and that they were overpriced. As far as prices, I think they were fair prices for a pumpkin patch (they are all overpriced!) If you are looking for cheap pumpkins, yes you are better off getting them at Costco or a supermarket. As for them only have prepicked in a covered area, apparently that reviewer didn’t bother to walk to the back where there definitely is an actual pumpkin patch where you can pick pumpkins right off of the vine; we sure did.

I read Unilocal reviews before going to Yule, and I was expecting so much more. I haven’t been to other patches in GA, and maybe it’s not fair to compare to my childhood patch in PA, but that’s all I’ve got. :(
It all seemed kind of sad. The reptile house was okay. There’s information posted everywhere to teach kids about science. And the bee hive box was interesting. But that’s about it. They have bouncey inflatables for kids, but that’s not the point of a pumpkin patch.
The pumpkins? Just a few rows of pre-​picked pumpkins in a covered area. Not a patch, and not the fields we used to run around as kids in PA. Also overpriced. We left pretty quickly and bought our decorative pumpkins and gourds at Trader Joes.
Want to entertain the kids for a few hours and take photos with sunflowers? Yule will suffice. Want an awesome patch experience with open fields and a fall foods market? Keep driving. There must be one closer to Atlanta than PA, but it’s not here.

Not at all what we were looking for – as in, a pumpkin patch farm. The three stars is only because the kids had a great time seeing he animals and jumping on the bouncy things. The «hayride» was super cheesy with music blasting. We will definitely drove a little farther for a farm next time.

«You want to smash some pumpkins?» — Hocus Pocus (1993)
Bring the kid in you, because they have one of those giant bouncy pillow things — and it is worth the extra $ 1.50 for adult admission!
This place is the real deal. Pumpkins-​a-​plenty, and that means you can get the beautiful round or oblong orange ones, or even the green, yellow and white bumpy gourd-​types. All kinds of pumpkins. A true pumpkin patch. They have plenty pre-​picked for you to select from OR you can go out to the patch and select one and cut it yourself.
They also have a ton of fun activities for you… er, I mean the kiddoes. Bounce houses, swings, things to climb on, hayrides, horseback riding, petting zoo (watch out, the animals bite), a reptile house, etc. And, the aforementioned giant pillow! So much fun! But, only 10 people allowed on it at once and they have 16 year old girls with no ability to assert themselves over 3 year olds managing this. –sigh– They should have given her a bullhorn or something. Eventually we got our turn and it was so much fun — who knew I could fly?
Apparently, they also have a zombie paintball ride after dark — we are going later in the day next year!
Lots of fun and for only $ 8 for adults and $ 9.50 for kids (unless you want the fun zone, then the adult pays for the upgrade to $ 9.50). Well worth the money and you get a free baby pumpkin on your way out the door, friends!

Who is it that I never knew about this amazing pumpkin patch? It is not as far as some of the others and the price is unbeatable. So, the hay ride is a bit cheesy, but at night you can do the hayride and shoot zombies with paint guns. How awesome is that??? My kids loved all of the bounce houses and the fact that you can cut your very own pumpkin.
We went early on a Sunday morning, which is also a plus since a lot of patches are not open until 1 PM on Sundays. It was not super busy and the staff there was so kind and nice.
They also had a reptile room too… but I am not fan of that.

I visited Yule Forest as a part of my pre-​schoolers field trip. We went on a weekday when no one but groups of field trips were there. It was a bit chaotic, but the staff sorta had it under control.
After visitng Hillcrest Orchard a few weeks ago, I kinda had big dreams for Yule Forest. Unfortunately I didn’t have quite the same experience. Had I gone on the weekend with my kid I would have been sorely disappointed. But as part of a field trip, I guess it was okay.
The setup is basically different «stations» that the kids rotated.
The bouncy house station was the most fun, but you don’t have to drive 40 minutes to Stockbridge to get on a bouncy house.
The puppet show was boring, but I guess the kids enjoyed it. I was happy at least to see they had black and white puppets.
The reptile house was okay.
The hayride was wiggedy wack and Yule Forest should be glad Disney hasn’t come around and forced them to take the bootleg Disney characters down. But the kids were happy to be on a wagon so that’s all that matters.
The worst part was the «petting zoo» which was actually just a looking zoo. Someone in my group commented that it was the place that animals go to die and truly those donkeys looked like they had just been read their last rites. I totally could have skipped that.
For this to have been a visit to a pumpkin patch, I was disappointed that we didn’t actually get to walk through a… wait for it… pumpkin patch. Call me crazy, but I was expecting a few shots of the kids next to pumpkins.
Each child did walk away with a mini pumpkin though.
All in all, I’d say this was a suitable outing for a group of 3-​year olds, but anything older than 6 will probably be disappointed.

I had a really great time. This is an excellent place for a great fall season day trip with friends or a date. Be warned, there are lots of children around, I mean, a lot, plus, you absolutely have to wear comfortable shoes/​flats, because this place is paved with a copious mix of big stone gravel, uneven ground, and stumps (from the Christmas trees, I think) pretty much everywhere.
I loved it though — got my pumpkin for Halloween carving fun (lots and lots of pumpkins to choose from ranging from about $ 8-​$ 20, depending on size. You can chop one from the actual, sho-​nuff pumpkin patch or, just pick on out from the tent.
We went on the ‘hayride’ (not a traditional hayride, but, like a flatbed with seating covered in hay.) There was Monster Mash music playing from a speaker and lots and lots of cardboard cutouts of Disney characters along the way for the kids.
I’d return next fall. Great place for families, and getting into the fall spirit.

I would’ve given it five stars like everyone else had my pumpkin not completely changed color, thereby defecating on my green pumpkin carving plans.
It went from solid green to bright orange in 4 days time. Despite all the proclamations on the video played upon entering — that once the pumpkin is cut off the vine, it will not change color — I am witness to a bamboozling, hoodwinking pumpkin. That ain’t right.

Public Service Announcement: when you go to cut the pumpkin off of the vine please watch out for the microscopic thorns that are all over the vine. Those little shits feel like shards of glass when they prick into your fingers and you can’t even see the bitches to remove them.
Oh and check at those natty blue pumpkins while there. You want to be like me, don’t you?

So awesome I had to go twice. In one weekend. You better believe.
A legit pumpkin patch, where the orange goodness can be found both on the vine and off. They’ve got a decent assortment of the jack-​o-​lantern type versus my preference: the bumpy, grotesque heirloom tomato-​lookin’ suckers. Hooray for that.
But wait, there’s more! A whole bounty of fun beyond the almighty pumpkin, including horseback riding, hay rides, a rather crappy maze, a Pioneer rabbit village (not kidding), a reptile house and a whole section devoted to teaching people how to recycle. All for the low low price of $ 7 (and you get a baby pumpkin upon exit!) Pretty much all you could ever need.
And then there’s the giant bouncy pillow. All of a sudden, you’ve got all you could ever *want.*

Aside from the Bunny Pioneer Village, the petting zoo, the hayride, and the wealth of high-​quality, low cost pumpkins, the Pumpkin Jumping Pillow alone is worth the price of admission.

Certain pumpkin patches in North Georgia might lead you to believe that a pumpkin stork delivers all those orange orbs to their places in neat, straight rows, precut, cleaned, and ready for carving.
Thankfully, the «entertainment farm» at Yule Forest allows you to get the full experience of actually walking around a big field full of pumpkin vines and harvesting the perfect jack o’lantern candidate. Provided, of course, that you haven’t exhausted yourself from jumping around and wreaking havoc on the «pumpkin pillow bounce» in the fun zone. (Note: pay the $ 7 to get the value deal that includes fun zone admission. It’s worth it.)
Barely half an hour outside of the city, this gem of a Pumpkin Patch cum Christmas Tree Farm offers a lengthy hayride, a petting zoo, pony rides on the gentlest horses I’ve ever seen, a talking chicken show (new this year, per the website), a bunny pioneer village (a must see), a pumpkin movie, and numerous bouncy, inflatable things for the young and young at heart. Pumpkin prices rival those at big-​box warehouse stores, and the value of the experience is unbeatable.
I can’t wait to see what they do at Christmas and redeem my $ 5 off a Christmas tree coupon in December.
