Carlsbad Strawberry Company

Came out to enjoy the beautiful weather, sunflowers and pick some strawberries, let me tell you these are the sweetest strawberries I ever had. We enjoyed the view and the sweet elite, it was delicious. They also had face painting and many props to take pics. They also had games and other fun activities to enjoy. Definitely a nice way to enjoy family time.

We have enjoyed going to the strawberry fields every year, and continue to do so. It is a great family outing, kiddo enjoys picking strawberries and there are additional activities like goats to pet. Unfortunately like with everything the costs are rising. This season a bucket is $17! For size reference, my filled bucket contained 25-30 strawberries, maybe 35 if you really try. Taste- granted this is early season, the strawberries were sweet but most of the field seemed to have half ripe strawberries. I have tasted sweeter strawberries from local grocery. All this is to say, the value is mostly in the picking experience. Entry without a bucket is $10, but I think they also reduced the age of free admission from 5 to 3, so anyone over 3 years old needs to pay minimum $10 to enter. The bounce house area remains quite expensive at $30, I didn't even realize it was only an hour at that rate, I would have found it expensive even for 4 hours. I think most families find the price prohibitive, it was quite empty looking in. Maybe if they change their model to charge per bounce house/per ride, it could work better. It is also right next to the strawberry field, and hard to miss. Kids are going to want to go in. The tractor ride is also $10 per person (not included in admission). Food options are few and expensive. We spent $30 on a fruit cup and corn dish. So overall, for a family of three, this is easily a $100 trip. Great experience once every season but hard to justify multiple trips.

A farm where you can pay to pick your own strawberries and see the sunflower fields. There were some kid friendly attractions and fairground events happening at the time. Strawberries are very sweet and fresh.

We came here to take photos with the sunflowers and it was not disappointing. Really nice sunflowers in full bloom. It was a very nice experience. The place is ready to get to. Reasonable price and plenty of parking.

Expensive for sure. Admission is $10 or $17 with a bucket for strawberries. Some activities inside are additional $$$ charging a leg and arm haha. But i think they are outside vendors. For a large family it does become expensive. The admission itself is an arm for a large family without many free activities.

YES YES YES YES YES..... truly..... just go, enjoy the place, pick strawberries...... enjoy the fields.... the view and the weather..... I stopped here on a..... hey, unplanned lets just see on our way to legoland and it was one of the best experiences ever!!!

$17 for a small paper bucket, $10 to pick and eat strawberries without taking any home. Even when crowded, there’s still a lot of open rows for picking. Don’t wear your favorite white shoes! Lots of strawberries fall on the ground in between the rows and since it’s a narrow walkway, stepping on some berries is inevitable. My shoes got quite sticky and muddy. There are also sunflowers, animals to pet, food trucks, bounce houses, and lots of photo opportunities. What a fun experience and worth the $17 to take home some fresh strawberries. My friend and I split the bucket when we were finished and still went home with quite a few strawberries.

Fun roadside attraction! $18 to get admission with a bucket, $10 otherwise. They have beautiful sunflowers and fresh strawberries. Plenty of attractions for kids as well. If you like fresh fruit I'd recommend stopping!

Unique and iconic San Diego experience. Prices are definitely a little expensive, some claim it's a tourist trap but it is a one time experience. We bought three buckets for our three people party and picked for around an hour. Definitely some bees and bugs buzzing around while you pick and sometimes hard to get through a whole row due to mud or plants blocking the path. Some strawberries were still unripe, but a lot of them were red and ready to pick. Definitely enough to fill our three baskets and we were seeing many more on the way out. Not sure if you are allowed to pick and eat but we did once or twice (haha shhh...). They also have a sunflower field and some rides and games like bean bag toss and obstacle courses, available for kids. The strawberries we picked were extremely fresh, but you have to eat them within two days otherwise they will start to mold. We stored them in our hotel freezer. They are also very sweet, sometimes a little mushy but we are so used to GMO strawberries from the grocery store anyways. Recommend this place for amazing pictures and experience. Not for bug haters or maybe wear long pants and mud proof shoes... and have to be dedicated to get dirty to pick some strawberries. Very rewarding to enjoy your VERY fresh strawberries after picking though!

Visited here after an almost full day at LEGOLAND. This place was conveniently near LEGOLAND and my father in law insisted in trying this place out since it would be a lifetime opportunity for him and the kids. It turned out to be a good experience. Friendly staff, once we arrived it wasn't too crowded at all. They have a huge variety of things to do besides picking strawberries. My kids had a blast picking, they were so into it it was such a memorable moment for them. The strawberries were perfect. Sweet and fresh! We were sad we couldn't bring it back home to Hawaii but at least we had a bunch to eat and take it back to our air bnb and enjoy them for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!

$17 to enter and pick a bucket. $10 to enter and no bucket. Super fun! Make sure you wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty in. You will be stepping in dirt and sand. There's no place to wash the strawberries before you eat them so be aware of that. The staff gets so mad when you "overfill" your bucket. They gotta relax it's only a few berries on top. Sunflower fields are nice. Lots of photo opportunities. Be careful there's so many bees.

One stop to check them out because they are close to where we are staying and I have to satisfy my curious. Well, consider me satisfied and sure that once is enough. They offer u-pick and there was a time when I enjoyed that but these days that stooping would have me with sore muscles in too many places and I would be pretty immobile for a day or two so I went to the market side. $7 for a generously filled pint and $65 for a whole flat seems a little expensive to me. I realize I am quite a few years removed from the days of buying a flat from the weekend roadside vendors from Plant City, Fl or from driving west of LA to the strawberry fields to buy a flat but I don't think those $12-$19 per flat prices could have gone that high. Could they? The parking lot is dirt/crushed stone or something and I wasn't paying attention so I have a mess in the floor of my car to clean up since it must have been damp somewhere I stepped. All in all this was a "been there, done that" experience and one and done is enough for me.

Such a fun activity to do with your family or visitors from out of town! If you've never picked strawberries before, it's definitely something to try! We saw many other people enjoying themselves too - families, couples on dates, parents with their babies for photo ops, and kids hunting for sweet berries! We didn't realize that they had a sunflower fields too so that was a nice surprise. $17 for admission & bucket $10 for admission (sunflower fields, photo ops, tractor rides, inflatables, corn hole, etc) $5 for rabbit ticket $5 for sheep's & goats ticket

This was a fun way to spend a Monday afternoon. It's about 40 minutes north of downtown San Diego. It's 17 dollars to get in and pick and 10 dollars to just walk in without a bucket. Which I thought was weird. You need to pay to watch other people pick. It's a little steep in my opinion. There are two lines of vendors as well where they are selling burritos, elotes, and more. There are tickets you can buy as well (I believe $5 for a single ticket) to get to the petting zoo (rabbits and goats) and tractor trailers. You can also buy a one hour pass for the bouncy house which are 30 dollars per person per hour. Buckets aren't that deep. You can yield maybe 2 pounds of strawberries. The fields are pretty far. I would suggest getting there late May, early June so you can get the better of the bunch. You will get dirty and step on some strawberries, so don't wear your fancy shoes. Bring a hat, some water, and sunscreen because there aren't any shades. But there are plenty of great picture taking opportunities. Other things you can do include playing corn hole, playing with the giant chess set and other games. You can also just buy the strawberries if you don't want to pick. There are also opportunities to buy merch, honey, and more. Is the money worth it? No. But it's a neat experience to go and do!

The definition of a tourist trap. They charge 2-3x the grocery store prices for strawberries ($17) For the privilege to work in the fields and pick your own strawberries. There are very few family activities outside of strawberry picking, and on the day I went, only a small tricycle track. This was a complete waste of money.

Buckets are real small see picture. Fun for kids. Not a good deal. Over priced. So, use it as a fun kids event. Most people pick close. Best strawberry's are deep in the field. Must have pretty good balance. Walking in between the toes of strawberry's. Strawberry's look good. They also sell fresh strawberry's they pick. Like is say it's great for young kids. The ground is not level. Can be hard to palm on or walking devices.

We visited on a Saturday morning in late March, just shortly after opening. They were not busy at all! See pic for pricing. I think the $10/person entry fee is a little much for not getting to pick strawberries, but there are some free activities to partake in. On this particular weekend, there were no animals. Our ticket included access to corn hole, giant connect 4, giant chess, tricycles and photo opps. We paid for 1 strawberry bucket and shared as a family of 4. My 5 year old loved cutting the stems of the strawberries and my 3 year old held the bucket! Many strawberries weren't fully ripe yet, so I'm glad we only did 1 bucket! The kids loved it and it was a great experience! There was an inflatable park full of bounce houses and slides, but I believe that was an additional $30 per person! Hard pass for us. Apparently the petting zoo will open the 1st weekend in April. Tips: Dress warm if visiting in the morning. Wear shoes that can get dirty! You're on a farm so there's lots of dirt and smashed strawberries.

I took my husband and MIL to go strawberry picking for the first time. I'm so glad we were able to make it on a Thursday afternoon. There was no crowds and lots of perfect strawberries for us to be picked. There were a few other activities that we didn't do as the sun was very high that day. Definitely need a hat or sunscreen. The strawberries we came away with were really the sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted! I've also learned that strawberries are sweeter when they are not chilled (lost flavor when you put them in the fridge) but let them sit at room temp for a while and all the flavor comes back! The buckets are a bit small for 17$ each, but it was a fun activity that I think was well worth it. For 3 people we probably got 20berries each. We made strawberry smoothies and chocolate covered strawberries with all the extra berries. We will definitely come back again for more!

We had a great time picking strawberries. Although the strawberries were in season, all the other activities were geared more toward the fall season so strawberry picking was the only activity you could really do. They offered snacks like popcorn and ice cream. The strawberry picking itself was very fun, as the area was very vast and there were plenty of perfect strawberries to choose from. We filled up our bucket fast and the tasted absolutely sweet.

This was my very first pumpkin patch and I have to say it was quite fun. There's a $12 entrance fee for adults and we had a 3 year old with us so his entry was free. There's an array of photo opportunities throughout and several activities for an up charge like face painting, pony rides, tractor rides, corn maze, and jumpers. It can add up depending on how many people you have with you but we opted for everything minus the corn maze. The vendor running the face painting booth wasn't super pleasant but she did a great job. She takes zelle or Venmo if you don't have cash. There were at least 6-8 jumpers for the kids and a seating area for parents. There were a mix of kids and they must have socks. If you have none, they have some you can buy. The tractor ride is quite fun and there is ample room in there. It takes you through the corn maze field and a bit further out so you can see the pumpkins. My friend's little boy really enjoyed the pony ride, although expect a bit of a wait. There were two ponies working and the staff takes riders through the sunflower field, which is quite nice. The was probably my favorite activity that he did. There are a few food trucks so you can get some food and ample seating for visitors. We ordered from the pizza truck which was okay. The popsicle vendor is crazy expensive. We paid $5 each for those character popsicles with bubble gum for eyes. We were shooketh. We finished off with picking a pumpkin. I picked a small to medium sized one for $5. Overall, it was a nice visit and the weather was amazing. I recommend visiting, especially during spooky season.

Thoroughly enjoyed picking strawberries at the Carlsbad Strawberry Company. The berries were fresh and delicious. That being said, the admission ticket didn't include a bucket for strawberry picking which had to be purchased separately. I'm all for a new fun experience but there is a line where the cost outweighs the worth of the experience. I'm sure this is a great activity with kids.

We visited here a few weeks ago to check out the pumpkin patch! Super cute spot. There were a ton of blooming Marigold flowers, cute vendors with snacks, pumpkins for sale, and great photo area. We went on a Saturday and the space was so big that we definitely had room for photos. Bought their habanero jam that is delicious! Would definitely come back to get in the holiday spirit, they do a good job of that! Only thing that is a negative is the price! You pay to get in but then have to pay for extras which is expensive (hay ride, corn maze, petting the animals, etc). We did not do that because we already paid $15 each person to get in.

I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the farm was really busy. One bucket is $17 (which I believe has increased from last year). We had a lot of fun picking and eating strawberries. I recommend heading to the fields on the far end because they're less picked through. It seemed like a good amount of strawberries were not completely ripe this time around, but there were still enough ripe ones for us to fill our buckets. Make sure to wear shoes you're comfortable getting dirty since it can be muddy and messy!

Great pumpkin patch but a little expensive! Admission was $15 and going to the corn maze was a separate $10. We went in the afternoon and it was basically empty so I would recommend going during day to avoid crowds! Lots of great photo ops! Beautiful flowers! Loved the scenery! Tried elote from the food truck and it was so good!

Cute little place to start the day off! Nice pictures areas set up and we loved playing with the bunnies. Other than that, the main event was strawberry picking. Very easy for it to turn competitive to see who can get the best strawberries! They were really juicy and yummy, we would just eat them right there in the field. Went during a weekday so there were no lines or crowds- Service was fast and straight to the point. Would definitely go again!

So disappointed. Spent a small fortune on half a flat, and this is them 24-hours later.

We immediately visited during the month of October for their pumpkin patch and it was super cute. We came with our friends and I have to say the CSC did a great job at navigating and directing the traffic in the parking lot. We found parking really quickly despite it being kind of crowded. Parking was free. There was a lot of pumpkins for sale that you can look at and buy, But their "pumpkin field" was pretty empty, so the pictures were mainly just pumpkins spaced out. They had lots of photo ops and you could bring your pet which was nice. The entrance fee did not include everything. There were a lot of vendors you could choose from for food, activities, drinks, etc. I think this is a cute place to visit once, especially during the holidays.

An excellent choice when considering strawberry picking. Conveniently located off the freeway and with tons of free parking, it's definitely worth the visit. Prices are reasonable for entrance with or without a bucket. It's clean and organized. Staff are friendly and there are other activities to do aside from picking the strawberries. Think of it as the Spirit Airlines of farms. It's this much to ride a pony, this much to check out the sunflowers and this much to enjoy the play area. Lol Regardless, it's well maintained and operated. My kids enjoyed their time and their cousins did too. Came with clean clothes, left with stained clothes. Car's interior needs a good vacuum but at the end of the day it was fun for the kids and that's all that matters. Come check them out if you haven't been. Thank me later.

I've been here a few times for different events. I always have a great time here. I've done their strawberry picking which was fun and the strawberries were yummy. I've also come during Halloween time to enjoy the vendors and pick a pumpkin. They had a speakeasy when we went to the pumpkin patch. It was fun looking for the entrance. The drinks were expensive but they were strong. The flower fields here are also beautiful. Employees have always been friendly when I'm there.

We actually paid $15 to go to the Pumpkin Patch and the speakeasy. There were games available and many places for photo opps. There were a variety of pumpkins to choose from and plenty of food trucks in case you get hungry. Now the Haunted Cornfield and hayride cost extra. You have to get tickets to do those things. The Speakeasy is a whole vibe. Nothing special though. I felt they could've decorated it more to make it more festive like maybe pumpkins and pictures. They needed a DJ too. The music was wack. Drinks were good but expensive. We stayed for maybe 30 minutes and left. You need a password to get in. The password is posted daily on their IG stories. It's also a fundraiser so you are helping others when you buy drinks. Definitely something to do once. Being in the cornfields is a whole vibe.

Super fun!! We went to the sunflower maze and took cute photos. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the amount of strawberries that we were able to pick. The strawberries were super fresh and sweet! I would come back again.

YES YES YES YES YES..... truly..... just go, enjoy the place, pick strawberries...... enjoy the fields.... the view and the weather..... I stopped here on a..... hey, unplanned lets just see on our way to legoland and it was one of the best experiences ever!!!

Must stop here when you're in the area. Strawberries are delightful and U-pick with the kids is always fun.

Visited Late May 2024 on a Friday morning with some relatives who have never gone strawberry picking and wanted to try some juicy California strawberries! It was $15 for entrance and a bucket of strawberries to take home or $10 for just entry and unlimited tasting. The property itself sits just off the five freeway and overlooks the ocean, so there's a nice breeze while you're out and about picking strawberries. There's also sunflower fields you can take pictures with, a couple food vendors, several activities with additional costs like petting the bunnies, portable toilets, among other family centric activities. Before you go into the strawberry fields, there will be signs leading the way. A staff member also handed us scissors and there were instructions on their large signs on how to cut strawberries and fill your buckets. I didn't feel entirely taken care of at this experience--mostly the staff looked disengaged--but the strawberries were big and juicy and my family still had a good time. For anyone planning a visit, I'd recommend bringing a change of shoes as they may get muddy in the fields, and some water to rinse the strawberries when you're tasting them inside.

Fun for the whole family. Located near the Carlsbad flower fields, this place is sprawling with fresh strawberries waiting to be picked. $10 for admission or $15 for admission and a basket of strawberries to take home. Scissors available to snip the berries from their stems. Walk a little further in for better availability. People tend to start picking as soon as they get in and fill their baskets before getting to the end. No overfilling your basket and no long stems are the only rules. It's fun seeing all the kids with red faces and hands from the juicy berries. Really can't get fresher than this.

I came here to pick strawberries, but they weren't available for picking yet. They did have fresh strawberries out. I purchased a pack of three for $19. They tasted fresh and delicious. The employees were very friendly, and it was an easy check in and check out.

Loved their pumpkin path event. This place is big and they had so many activities. Their garden of flowers was so amazing. Their sun flowers were beautiful. They also had the biggest pumpkins I've ever seen. You can purchase them also. Totally recommend this place if you have not been here.

Overdue review incoming! Disappointing experience. Paid for entrance, but all the strawberries were either rotten or eaten by bugs, so we didn't pick any. On top of that, they charge extra for a bucket to bring the fruit home. Despite showing them an empty bucket, they refused to refund or even offer a small box of strawberries from the front as a substitute. The staff, especially one woman, was extremely rude throughout the process. Ended up having to file a chargeback due to their refusal. I don't mind paying for entrance, but the strawberries were in terrible condition. Definitely won't be coming back.

Carlsbad strawberry company's pumpkin patch was disappointing. It felt like the Spirit Airlines of pumpkin patches. You pay to get in and everything else is extra and the extras are not reasonably priced. You want to pet the rabbits, extra. Want to pet the goats, extra. Tractor ride, extra. Bounce house, $30.00 per kid!!! This is only worthwhile for the photo ops. The mardigols were beautiful and the other photo props were fun, decorative, and festive. All in all, if you're taking multiple kids be ready to drop a few hundred dollars. If you just want to go take pretty pictures, then this is for you!!

Recently visited Carlsbad Strawberry Company for the pumpkin patch. The admission was a little pricey which was $15 and that doesn't not include all the extra activities. You have to pay for them separately which they are $10. We only did the corn maze, which was a good experience. We went during the day time so there wasn't much people. They do have some food trucks/stand there. I didn't eat food just got some snacks. I got the "tostielotes" and it was $13 but it was sooooo good! Overall, the was a good time. We were able to get some nice pictures and really enjoy ourselves. The staff were very welcoming and answered any questions we may had. The ambiance is nice and there are tons of places to capture nice photos just depends the time of day you go.

This is my favorite season and this was my first time visiting the Carlsbad Pumpkin Patch. Plenty of parking, dirt lots so be prepared to have your car and shoes get very dusty. Admission is $15 per person just to get in, and everything inside is extra so prepare to be gouged. Petting zoo is separated by goats/sheep and rabbits, so if you want to do both they are $5 each per person. The ticket attendant said my 6yo niece could not enter the petting zoo area without an adult but once we went to that area, we found out only 4 & under need to be accompanied by an adult. The corn maze is $10 per person, and the bouncy house area is operated by a different vendor which charges by the hour. Good selection of food vendors and trucks, but after all the money you spend at this place the bathrooms should not be porta potties. I would recommend arriving early to beat the evening crowds for the Haunted Corn Maze. Great photo ops, and I really enjoyed the marigold fields. Overall, it was a costly trip and I would recommend visiting a pumpkin patch that does not charge admission.

We just came to the stand to get strawberries, it was before picking time. We picked up some avocados too that turned out to be amazing. Service was friendly not many people around.

MY FAVORITE PUMPKIN PATCH IN SAN DIEGO! They have raised prices quite a bit I think I remember paying maybe $5 per person last year and they have upped the price to $10 per person just to get in the pumpkin patch with a few of the included amenities. Games and rides are extra and you do need a few tickets for each little attraction so if you're taking the kiddos be ready to spend some $$$$. If you're just going for the cute little fall vibes (even though when we went it was like 80 degrees lol) this is your spot for some cute family photo ops and what not. They added cute little swing photo op by the flower field. Love the vibe here. I always come home to hundreds of photos I have to sort through lol. If you're looking for a cute pumpkin patch date spot this is definitely it!

I have bought berries here before and they were great. Today I paid $19 for strawberries and when I got them home to wash them I realized they weren't nearly ripe enough. If they aren't ready yet why are they selling them?!?! Not good!

Very fun experience for my family. We went on the last day of the season so the strawberries that were left weren't the best but they were sweet and delicious. Would recommend!

My husband and I came here because we (well *I*) wanted to pick strawberries and I didn't want to go all the way to Orange County to do it. I was excited to go here as it was closer to home and cheaper than going to Tanaka Farms. I have to say, I enjoyed going here! The strawberries were absolutely delicious and there were plenty to pick. We both got super full and were able to fill our buckets within 30 minutes. I highly recommend going early; we came around opening time on a Saturday and there weren't too many people. I'm sure it gets busy and less enjoyable later in the day. Also make sure you wear good sneakers/tennis shoes because the strawberry beds are narrow and slippery. I would definitely come here again!

Way too expensive for U-Pick strawberries. Tourist trap. Charging $10 per person just to enter the fields on top of $19 per 1.5 quart bucket is highway robbery. Better just to buy the berries already picked.

The last visit was quite disappointing. The service was lacking, and the strawberries were rotten. Despite the misleading signs indicating it wasn't the season, the strawberries we saw were extremely sour and of poor quality. Many were rotten, and it was clear they should not be selling these. No one wants to pick rotten strawberries. The place was almost empty, with very few people around, and I noticed that other visitors had buckets full of rotten strawberries as well. The ambiance was unimpressive, and the customer service was terrible, with workers being quite rude. I definitely do not recommend coming here. We bought 2 buckets which costed us $10, but the strawberries were so bad that we ended up not using the buckets at all. When we asked for a refund for the buckets, not admission, the worker quite rudely refused even though we took none home.

Came here after visiting flower field which is 5 mins away. The ticket is $15 per person with basket or $10 without basket. You have to pay to get in. You also need to walk far in order to pick more bigger and fresh strawberry. The ticket also includes sunflower which most of them near the entrance were dying.

Off of Cannon road on the 5 North freeway. You'll have to do a U Turn when you exit, there's no left turn into the parking lot. The parking lot is dirt so expect your car and shoes to be dirty lol. Once you walk up to the trailer, you'll have to pay a general admission fee. $5 a person and under 5 years old is free. It includes photo op area, sunflower maze, shaded seating area and games such as connect four, ring toss, corn hole. You'll have to walk around and behind the trailer to purchase the other tickets. The prices were $6 for each rabbit and goat/sheep encounter. $10 tractor ride. There's a bounce house too, I believe it was $30-$50. $12 for a person to go into the strawberry field with a bucket to pick and $5 for the strawberry field admission. Everything added up and was pretty pricey but going once in a while is worth it especially when the strawberries were full, round and juicy! They tasted pretty good versus the store brought ones. You can eat as many on the field as you want! They do not use pesticides which is a awesome. We went on a Friday and it was not busy at that time (arrived around 230pm). The weather was perfect, it was sunny had a nice breeze. They have some food and drink stands on the property, it was pricey in my opinion for something so simple. They had a lot of porter potties and hand washing stations, which is clean and very convenient. The field view and sunflower maze was beautiful. Everywhere was a photo op area. We enjoyed our time at the Carlsbad's strawberry field. Definitely will return once a year when the strawberries are in season.

We bought 4 packs of strawberries and at least one of those was bad. Expensive, poor service and quality was poor. Not going there again.

The pumpkin patch was truly nothing special ($15/person, kids under 4 free). This is a pumpkin patch for photos on Instagram--the pumpkin house is pretty cute. You have to pay for most everything once you get inside, so it's a lot of people just sitting/standing around or taking pictures. There are several food truck options, but I feel there are better pumpkin patches out there. Stroller and dog friendly & free parking.

First off, great strawberries but horrible service. Long story short, we waited in line to get in, and my wife and 18 months year old son wondered off to get inside first. The ticket lady for some reason thought they weren't going to pay went after them while I was still in line. She had no reason to do that. The least she could have done was properly ask them to go back to the line but no she asked my wife to pay at the spot. Terrible service. I'm never coming back again. Do better.

The sweetest, most delicious strawberries I have ever tasted. We just bought strawberries directly from the farm stand, so I can't speak to the u-pick experience or other activities. I'd visit the farm stand any time I'm in the area.

We stopped by here on a weekday afternoon to pick strawberries and check out the sunflower field, and what an easy breezy day it was. There was barely anybody there that we were able to completely relax and take our time doing both activities. The sunflower field was beautiful. However, I'm not sure if we just missed the peak of the larger sunflowers because a lot of them were already starting to dry up. Some of the smaller ones were still very vibrant and in bloom though, just not an entire field of them. It was also so much fun seeing the smileys on the giant flowers, it's almost like they're welcoming and watching the people going through the maze. Then, we spent about an hour or so picking strawberries. We went at around 3pm and there were still a lot of ripe strawberries we were able to get. The guy manning the u-pick booth was very friendly and helpful as well. He briefed us on what to do and gave us a pair of scissors each. Leaving was also quick and easy--he just handed us a bag to keep our bucket of strawberries in and sent us on our merry way. Make sure to wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty and muddy. Because no matter what, if you pick strawberries and go through the aisles, your shoes will get DIRTY. The price point is pretty decent and reasonable if you get the ticket that includes the bucket for the u-pick strawberries, which is $15. I think the $10 just for the entrance is a bit high though, especially if you choose to go on a weekday since you don't get to do anything else. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and we had fun picking strawberries and seeing the sunflowers. We didn't get to experience the other activities or see the attractions they had during weekends, but that was fine since we were able to avoid the big crowds.

Fun for the whole family! Customers of all ages can be seen here. There is an admission fee at the entrance. You don't need to buy tickets ahead of time. The fields are HUGE so wear shoes you can walk in and don't mind getting dirty. Some strawberry rows have puddles of water so watch your step! It can get slippery! They also have a sunflower field. Not very big, but still fun to take photos in. We got here a little after they opened, but it was still really busy!

Ok, this is an honest and transparent review from my recent visits I've had here: the experience is great! Love the many things to do and some food vendors on site makes it super nice and awesome to bring the family to and enjoy the day. But now, the negative part: the employees (not all of them). They don't make you feel welcomed and just basically make you feel like you're bothering them. The ticket booth employees just sit there and when you start asking questions about ticket purchases, they give you an answer with a "hurry up and buy tickets" approach. Not all employees have that vibe, but most of them did. But would I recommend coming here with the family? Sure, just make sure employee interaction doesn't ruin your day. And of course, the strawberries are awesome!
