The Pumpkin Factory

It was kind of small but my 3 year old had a blast. He loved the train ride and getting on the power wheel car. Not much to do for my 9 & 10 year olds but they had fun eating the delicious funnel cakes. It was yummy! & checked in & got 10 free tickets with a purchase if 10. Overall it was perfect for my little one.

Horrible place, horrible selection, terrible employees, horrific customer service, and was told they’d only give us a special deal if we gave them a good review on Unilocal instead of actually earning one usually come to this patch every year but will not be back, no good prizes, little to none rides for the kids and over priced everything, almost like they’ve been constantly loosing money and are trying to make up for all their loss today by over charging for everything on the last day, will definitely be going to Irvine Park Pumpkin patch from now on. Boo and hiss. Wouldn’t give it any stars, but have too

Not a million pumpkins to choose from but clean with very friendly staff and we had a great time! My daughter is only 2 but she loved the games and running around looking at different pumpkins. It was a great experience!

We absolutely loved this place!!! Even though it is small we were here for 5 hours and the time flew by! The people that work here are friendly and seem like they really love being here. When our son started crying about having lost in a game the employee gave him another shot. Tyler was the awesome employee who made our food and man was it delicious but what made it even better was just how much you could tell Tyler put his heart into it and even made a show of making our sons cotton candy! We have always gone to the pumpkin patch in Irvine but will be coming here from now on. Prices were great and pumpkins were excellent!

It wasn’t all I had hoped it would be. It’s small and the rides are quite pricey if you ask me but my one year old had a great time checking out the animals and I got some fun pictures of her with pumpkins. (Which after all, is the point, right?)
The lady at the register was pretty disappointing with her lack of enthusiasm but all the staff controlling the rides were friendly and fun.

Comme si comme ça. Ma cousine s’est amusé pour un temps. C’est un peu cher. Je recommande utiliser l’offre de Unilocal

This place has a lot for kids to do and the rides aren’t badly priced. With the Unilocal check-​in i paid $ 10 for 20 tickets and that was plenty for my 2 year old. Pumpkins are crazy expensive and they were understaff

I think some Unilocalers are a bit harsh on this place. Yes, it is in a parking lot but they make hood use of the space they have. They sell Hawaiian shaved ice and have face painting for the kids. The prices are no different then if you were to go to the fair and pay for rides. There is a bunch of hay everywhere but hello, it fits in with the theme. They have a few rides and lots of inflatable slides for the kids. They even have a small petting zoo. An ok selection of pumpkins but overall a good place for the little kids to enjoy without being too overwhelming. Buy a Groupon deal to get a better bang for your buck or get the Unilocal check in offer.

I read the review and honestly people who wrote one star or two star reviews I don’t get why? Yes the pumpkins are over priced but it’s so clean and cute here. The rides are fun for little kids. I took two 4 year old boys and they loved it!!! They had a blast. And the picture opportunities here are awesome… Very cute!!!

Took the one year old nephew here for a photo-​op and it worked just fine. Everything is very overpriced (pumpkins and rides included) but it suited the purpose of snapping a few shots to send the relatives.

–DO NOT CONTACT THE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THIS Unilocal PAGE. It is actually the number of a random guy who knows nothing about the patch–
This place used to be lots of fun. Now, it sucks! All of the games were shut down and the prices are ridiculous. And what’s a pumpkin patch without the pumpkins??? They used to have a great variety of squash, gourds, and pumpkins of all colors. All I saw today were basic and misshapen orange pumpkins. Drove half an hour to this huge disappointment.

Beware of brining your family/​children here! My family and I made the mistake of coming here Saturday with our 22month old daughter. After a number of rides and games we decided to go to the petting zoo, which is where we had a very scary encounter with an employee. When we first entered the cage there was a girl working who stated that children under 3 must be accompanied by an adult and the adults are free. So we paid the 4 tickets for our daughter as well as additional tickets for food. After a while my husband, who was with my parents and little brother recording from the outside of the cage decided to come inside to feed the animals with our daughter. As he stepped in the male employee who had just entered the cage to clean the ground stopped my husband and was like «what are u doing, u need to pay 4 tickets» I was kinda confused an said «wait I thought parents of children under three were free» he responded with «what don’t u understand» still confused mostly by the way he was so angry and confrontational I said «OK that’s fine I’ll step out an he can stay with our daughter». Then the employee put his hand in my face and stated «not sure why ur not getting this either he pays or leaves.» so my husband just gave him the 4 tickets, as I didn’t want any problems with my one year old standing there observing. As we continued to visit with the animals the employee began mumbling under his breath and giving my husband dirty looks. I became so uncomfortable that we decided to leave the zoo. As we were walking out my husband still infuriated with they way the guy behaved said «enjoy shoveling shit». Once we had exited the zoo and my husband was beyond the crowd the employee yell at my husband «you got something to say?» And my husband repeated «enjoy shoveling shit». The employee dropped his shovel exited the zoo and walked very quickly at my husband. I got between them and asked the employee to walk away that this wasn’t happening in front of my daughter. But rather than walk away he kept coming at us. So I started yelling at him to walk away! He started saying things like «I’m in fear of my life» «you guys are harrasing me, I’m just working and your attacking me». At this point my little brother stepped in and told him to get a manager. I told him if he was so scared for his safety why did he exit the zoo and approach my husband. If we were attacking him why had we already left the zoo and why did he confront my husband. I told him he was looking for trouble. He began talking very fast and saying how he just needs protection. Yelling at the other guests that were all standing around watching this nonsense unfold, saying I have all my witnesses. All the while I’m telling him he needs to walk away that we are not doing this. After nearly 5 minutes he finally leaves and returns with a manager who is trying to calm him down by asking him to step away as well. Rather than walk away he calls me a lier and continues acting crazy. The manager states «he has been here all day I think it’s time for him to go home.» The manager was very apologetic, handed us tickets for our next visit, and asked us to wait for the owner so we could explain what happened. After 20 minutes the owner was MIA and the employee was still standing at the zoo gate glaring at us. We decided that it was no longer a safe place for us and we left. Once we got home i called the pumpkin patch and left a message for the owner explaining what happened and how my daughter should never have had to see that and that I wanted to give him the opportunity to fix the situation before I did my Unilocal review. However he never bothered to contact me which leads me to believe he is OK with his employees behavior and OK having unstable people working with small children. Next year we will be going back to Tanaka Farms where we feel safe and where they make sure the people working on the grounds aren’t UNSTABLE!

Nice day put with my little ones, good customer service

This was my third year in a row visiting The Pumpkin Factory and I haven’t been disappointed yet. It’s always very clean and the Staff is very helpful. My daughter loves the two big slides and the Pony rides. My son likes the swings and helicopter. We took our family Christmas card photo in the midst of all the beautiful pumpkins and fall décor. Just make sure to bring cash for the games, ponies and face painting. Also, there is a $ 25.00 minimum on cards. They added glitter tattoos this year and my six year old daughter is now obsessed.

This place is a joke! It’s a bunch of hay dumped in a parking lot. Every «attraction» is a ripoff. $ 3 to go on a jumper, $ 4 to go down a slide. $ 3 for the toddler jumping area. All kids cost $$$. Took my 1 year old and 6 year old and if we did all the attractions it would have cost $ 100+++. Luckily I only spent $ 5 before learning the scam! And the pumpkins are crap.
Go to Tanaka farms instead. Stay away from this fake!

We went there with a friend who has also bought a Groupon.
The Groupon states that pony rides are included in the regular Groupon. However, after waiting over 3.5 hours for the ponies to show up (who were late) we were told that the pony rides were not included in the Groupon.
The staff on-​site is very nice, but cannot help you in an meaningful way. They read the Groupon online and agreed with what it said, but were not allowed to include the pony rides. The people at the pony ride said that was what the «owners» wanted and they were not to accept tickets for the pony rides.
Also — both kids were hurt going down the pirate slide.

The Pumpkin Patch has a few game booths and a food stand. There are portable bathrooms, a hand washing system and plenty of hand sanitizer.
It’s a good place to bring young children. There’s lots of cute photo opportunities.
This is one of the nicer Pumpkin Patches in the O.C. I would come again next year.

Pretty good little fair for kids. The pumpkins were expensive, but I used the Unilocal deal for 10 tickets with a $ 10 purchase. So for that I got a pumpkin and 3 rides. There aren’t too many rides that young kids are allowed to go on (my son is 2 and was too short for most of them), but they did have a train ride and a fun petting zoo. They had pony rides too, but you couldn’t use tickets. All said, $ 10 isn’t bad for an hour of fun with the little one!

Great for the kids!
I think a lot of people who come here don’t actually buy a pumpkin but come for the experience and the pictures. I saw a lot of people with their kids just taking pictures, playing the games and jumping on the bouncer.
To be fair, I’ve never been to a pumpkin patch place before so I have nothing to compare it to.
Pumpkins are cheaper elsewhere but you can come and play here :)

if you’re solely interested in carving up some pumpkins save yourself the trip and the money and just go to the store or trader joes where you can get legit sized pumpkins for 2.99
now if you have kids on the other hand and just wanna feel like a lil kid again too, GO.
the ground is sparsely covered in hay. i can tell they tried, but had a lot of ground to cover and just couldn’t get to it. not sure why i was even paying such close attention to the ground. probably because i knew hay would be there and was worried it would be killer on my allergies. luckily it wasn’t.
they have three prices. all i remember is the middle one being $ 10 and the big one $ 25. boyfriend and i chose one that was a little bigger than mid size but definitely not nearly big enough for the $ 25 and she wanted to charge us $ 13. i know it’s only 3 dollars more, but really??? in the end she sold us both pumpkins for 10 dollars each.
if you have children there’s a small selection of children’s rides and such they can enjoy. they sell you the tickets in the front and you use them to go on the rides and play games. the most expensive is probably 3 tickets, but there really isn’t enough stuff to hurt your wallet like going to the fair would.
all in all, we were quite pleased with our pumpkins and have them carved and displayed proudly in our patio as we speak.
btw, it’s in the parking lot of the westminster mall. you can shop before or after which is a plus ;D

This is the first pumpkin patch I’ve ever been too. I honestly didn’t know what to be expecting other then the fact that its great for kids. My gf n me bought 2 Groupons n decided to bring our nephews on a Friday night. As we walked in we were greeted by the people in the ticket booth n behind them was all the pumpkins scattered around in the floor. We recieved our tickets n the kids wanted to ride the little rollercoaster they had to start the night… then they moved to the tracker ride followed by bouncy house after bouncy house. There was other little rides, petting zoo and a pop corn stand. The hours went by quickly there and at the end the kids ended having a blast… that’s what mattered right
