Dutch Hollow Farms

My husband and I went to pick flowers for a date, and it was the cutest thing ever. You park for free and check in at the little farmhouse right infront of the farm. You pay $5 for entrance and $10 if you wanna pick flowers (13 stems). They take card! We picked some beautiful sun flowers, snapdragons, and marigolds! Beautiful varieties! And we also got cute pictures out of it!

Yesterday was our second time this season of visiting Dutch Hollow, it has been a annual tradition since my kids were itty bitty. We love Baby animal days. My twins that are teenagers now still had a blast. For $13 bucks we not only did we get to hold little baby animals but my teens were kids at heart again, they also did all the attractions and had a blast. At the end we enjoyed the amazing delicious Flip N Fry food truck.. Thank you Farmer John for another memorable year at your farm.

Have been here a few times to pick sunflowers. The other day, we went for a private event. My daughter was dancing for the crowd, and then they taught the line dance to some of the group. It was a great experience set up. Everything was available the new racers, the ferris wheel, the slide, and the tractor ride. It is a great place to have a family event, great staff, and glad we have this space available for our community. Support local places and support our community.

This was my first time going to this farm. We had a really good time. They have a petting zoo. They have zip lining. They have a corn maze they have like trampolines. They have a big slide and they have tricycle racing. They have big tractors. They give you a ride to go to the corn maze. Etc etc. lots of things to do here. I even saw some food vendors there. The price to get in was $15 per person and it's free parking.

I just had my son's 2nd birthday at Dutch Hollow and it was great! Perfect amount of time to get all the activities done then eat and cake! Only negative thing I can say is that the party before us went over and I feel like I didn't have time before my guest got there to get decorations up but it didn't affect how the party turned out! I would recommend to anyone that has a child that loves animals. Megan our farmer helper was great! Thank you so much Dutch Hollow for the wonderful memories. All the kids had a blast!

If I could give them a 10 star review I would!!! Hands down a great place to spend time with family and friends. Very clean, safe and fun environment. Who doesn't love baby animals and stunning flowers and a place for their kiddos to run and make memories. Farmer John, Amy and the team work so hard and are always helpful and kind. My family looks forward to each visit throughout the year.

This place offers a lot of fun experiences, depending on the season. Pumpkin patch, tulips and baby animals. My kids love the jumping pad, zip line and slide. Farmer John is always striving to improve the experience. I’ve been coming to Dutch Hollow for 7 years. We live near Sac now but still make the trip.

I visited here Saturday night, day before Halloween in the evening. Got here late about 2 hours before closing, but I definitely wish I got here with more time. We still had a GREAT time! Squeezed in as much as we could. Tractor ride, zip line, corn pit, blaster, petting zoo, giant slide, several jump areas, and corn maze. There was still MORE attractions we didn't get to do. Admission price was $12, which was VERY worthy to me in my opinion. The owner, Farmer John was on site and greeted/socialized with guests, which I think is a great thing to do for a business. Several food trucks were available on site. Pumpkin's in the store were also very decently priced! None of that price per lb stuff other places charge, you see the price for whatever bin/pumpkin types. Another great thing I liked, is all the staff on hand was friendly and courteous. None of that awkward non social/don't talk to me type of people lol

We came for the first time today to check out the flower picking. Upon arrival it was only us and 1 other group, so it was peaceful and you could take your time picking what you like. It was also nice for photos without people in the background. By the time we left it was much more crowded, so just fyi. Also note that sandals and heels aren't the best for this activity. There is lots of dust, mud in some areas and dried up plants that could scrape exposed feet. Overall we had a wonderful time! All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful! The fields are beautiful! Aside from the flowers, we saw plenty of bees and a few humming birds. The petting zoo area was clean. The animals were cute and friendly. However some of the goats at the entrance l are extra greedy for the food, so be aware and take your time walking and seeing them all before you pick who to feed. 10/10. Looking forward to checking them out in the Fall.

My boys' and I have been coming to Dutch hollow for over 13 years! Way back when they were in riverbank. The vast growth over the years has been astounding and so fun to watch! My boys love to visit during pumpkin season! The attractions, the huge slide and of course the animals! ( that's my personal fav). Both , The taco trucks and desert/ coffee trucks are the finishing touch to our visit. John, the owner is always around and has always been extremely kind to myself and my kids. He's very kind. Amy is the manager, usually in the ticket booths working or Helping, and she's also extremely kind and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She's also super knowledgeable of the farm and the animals. Be prepared to get dirty and dusty though! You're going to a farm after all.

Dutch Hollow Farms never disappoints. Stopped in to get 7 Month photos of my baby girl in the sunflower fields. We do them ourselves... and they turned out amazing. The sunflowers are such a perfect backdrop! At only $5 for entry, DHF is an absolute steal for photos, date night or an outing with the kiddos. Tonight they had other amenities open for use, so after taking photos and picking gladiolus and sunflowers we got to go see the goats, mini horses, sheep, ect. We then wandered and took a look at some of the new additions of fun games, photo ops, and things for kids to explore. When our daughter's older, I certainly want to host her birthday party here. The farm provides pure, safe fun for the entire family and honestly Farmer John's prices are so reasonable that I'd raise them if I was him.

Depends on the season. I went for the "supposed" blooming Sunflowers but they barely had any. It had a small patch of wild flowers. We wanted to do a photo shoot but not enough flowers. We had pre-paid an event so we lost our money so we moved on to a park instead.

Second trip ** We were able to feed the critters .. it was so cute ! We would love for the farm to be open during the holidays , it's the cutest place in Modesto. It's practically a baby Disneyland but in a Fun Farm way . We were hoping the farm would be open but it's closed for the season . We feed the animals for $5 and $5 for food The staff was very nice and friendly

We brought our kindergarten class to Dutch Hollow Farms for a field trip and the kids had the best time! They absolutely loved seeing the animals, learning how to milk a goat, and playing on the giant slide and playground. The staff was welcoming and great with the kids. Although our tour was cut a bit short due to a delay with our bussing, the experience was still wonderful and memorable. We're already looking forward to coming back next year!

Cure little farm- nice friendly family business. My little girl was ecstatic! She loves tulips. Bonus: Easter egg hunt - well worth the 30 mins drive. Highly recommended.

Amazing place and has been for years! Farmer John makes the place special year in and year out. We've been going for years and we always have a great time.

Fun and exciting, our kids loved it. Of course, we did as well! The little ones loved the zip line, and the food trucks were great too. However, we did not enjoy the seating. A family came over and invaded our space while we were eating and acted like they were on the table first. Yeah, I was pissed but. I had my kids there and I didn't want them to witness what my thoughts were in live action! I hope those people get hit with karma some day!

This farm is perfect for younger kids! There is plenty for them to wander around and be entertained. Pricing is great! The times we've visted there is a food truck on site. Staff is always friendly and engaging.

Such a fun farm! We have gone every year for the past 10 years. My son loves it. Love seeing it grow and expand every year. Farmer John is awesome!

Absolutely love this farm! There is so much to do; petting zoo, variety of games/activities, and even the maze during certain times of year. My kids love this place! It's great for so many ages! An absolute gem! The staff is always extremely friendly too!

Visited this farm during tulip season! I'm not sure if it's still open since it's a seasonal occasion. We were able to pick wild tulips for $1 each. A basket is provided to carry the tulips. I'm not sure if it's because we came late but many of the tulips were already over blossomed (not sure if that's the correct word), however we were still able to find some good picks. I would recommend bringing a case with water if your planning to go elsewhere after and not straight home!

Kindness! Wonderful people! Beautiful tulips! I'm so grateful for their help this year. Over the years we've looked for them for flowers, pumpkins, and fun animals. It's always been a joy to go visit the "farm." This year, owing to mobility issues, I was not able to go out to pick the tulips for my daughter. They responded to my sad confession and provided some we could simply pick up. Kindness like that doesn't come along every day. We are so grateful!

We stopped by Dutch hollow farms yesterday! It has a new location that's a bit further away. It has much more space and things to do. From what I saw there are two different parking lots. Parking is free. We got confused and ended up parking in the second lot. You walk a little ways to the entrance from the second lot. Also, the parking area is very muddy and has no cement so wear boots if you're going or shoes that you don't care to get dirty. You enter through the store and there is no entrance fee. They have a variety of pumpkins. There's a lot of space for you to take pictures and have your children play and pick their own pumpkins. My kids rode the horse. You pay cash or card at the horse ride. Also, you can get a day pass for the other fun things. The prices are very reasonable. They also have a lot of food trucks and food vendor choices which are delicious! It was pretty crowded but it's all outdoors. Just keep your distance and be patient. All in all I'd come back. My kids had a blast and we enjoyed our time there. They have way more stuff to do now.

great place to visit w/my grandson. It's getting bigger every year with something new added. I liked last year better, honestly. The baby ducks were not there. Nor the baby goats:( the animals seemed sad for some reason. Baby cow sucked on my finger which really got to my heart strings, didn't Want the food or water provided.. just to suckle on my finger:( made us sad & a few other guests. the big slide seemed smaller. and it's so hot and dusty out there.. why not have some ice chests /cold water for your guests available to sell water?!! Appreciate water is only $1... but.. such an inconvenience to go all the way back to front and pulling kids away from the fun to do so. Why not put in the little house that sells the rocks for the panning?? ( *extra charge for panning for rocks but, you get to keep the rocks you find.) Its just too far to go to front with young kids that are playing. and.. hand washing stations were out of soap, water & paper towels. can you please put those in a more convenient place as well?!! this year the set up seemed so backwards from entry to Parking to simply needing to wash hands before getting on your way. Set up Was definitely not w/kids in mind. the new tennis ball shooter was cool. Enjoyed the zip lining.. but the crash against the pole is crazy. How bout some padding between the metal carabiners and pole? Cost: $12 each, 2 years and older to enter. Everything is going up ... $2 more than last year. And how bout a few chairs and umbrellas for parents at the jumping pad and tire playground?! What are we supposed to do while watching our kids play? Bake in the sun with our parched mouths?!! 4 stars only because I don't need to drive out of town. and my grandson loved it.

We came here for the Christmas lights. The entrance is lit up and the speed limit is 5 mph. There is a huge dirt parking lot. Make sure to take comfortable shoes . You walk in and the entrance is only $5 and 2 and under are free. You can not beat this price nothing cost $5 and there's a Santa there. Everything is outside so dress warm. After you pay you walk and get to see the animals. You get really close and can take great pictures. Then there's a hot chocolate booth that only cost $2. The service is great and prices are the best. There is a lot of lights it does get really dark. You get great pictures. Also it's out in the open and kids face a ton of fun running around. The lights are very beautiful and creative. And the end there's a huge Christmas tree and pictures with Santa. This place is definitely a 5 star I loved everything about it. Definitely worth the drive.

First time coming here and definitely not the last! We enjoyed all if it! Lots of fun things to do! We just moved to Modesto from Encino and we were looking for a nice pumpkin patch and soo glad we came here!!! Service is great, Staff is friendly and helpful. Ambience is soo peaceful and relaxing and definitely family oriented! Plenty of parking, port a pottys we visited on a Saturday and got there early & was not too crowded. You get a lot of activities with your admission we will definitely come back next year!

This has been our go to the past three years. It's in a new location. It's got a lot going on. Food trucks, animals, activities, etc. lots of pumpkins to choose from as well. The part in which I did not like was the parking area. So crowded and hard to get out of there. Also, when you walk in it's super narrow, especially with people coming and going. They have to do something about this. My mom is older and it was very hard for her to get through that area. I appreciated the picnic tables so that helped once we got through.

Love this pumpkin patch so much! I loved the old location, but the new location is even better! There is so much more to do. I feel like they continually add new attractions and things to do each year. They have typically had vendors and events each time we have been. Their pumpkins are pretty reasonably priced and they offer season passes, which is great!

Fun place to take kids there is a lot to do and animals for the kids to pet and feed ,teachable moments and entertaining.This the second year of going and kids enjoyed as much this time

We have been here a couple of times but always closed. Glad despite the rain they were open. It is in rural Modesto and easy to get to with Google maps. Entrance was $20 (for munchkin and I due to the babies but otherwise would've been $15) which included baby animals... you can pickup and hold the chicks and ducks!!! So awesome. They have signs posted everywhere... and when I say babies they are days to a few weeks ago only!!! A baby calf was 10 days old and some other animals 3 days old!!! Do not believe i have seen so many baby animals in one area before. We were informed that was the chickens and ducks are old enough they will be let go and free to roam the farm soooo awesome!... They have a jumping platform, a big slide, a bunch of interactive stations, zip line, petting zoo which is all included. They have a mining station and it is $8 to $20 a bag.. depending on what you want to mine. Since munchkin loves fossils and rocks, this was perfect. Staff was super friendly and talkative about the animals and helpful. Definitely check it out. Unfortunately they sold alot of the tulip selection over the weekend and had a small selection left today.

This place is more of an open dirt lot with dirty crowded pens of animals, and a few activities for kids scattered amongst a lot of broken down farm vehicles and other random junk. We came for baby animal days and were appalled to find listless and lethargic animals with liquid green diarrhea and feces-covered and matted coats in the petting farm, baby chicks and ducks in open topped containers in obvious distress as crowds of children picked them up and dropped them over and over, and no obvious larger areas where the animals have any space or privacy. Calves are locked into cracked plastic containers, and the grown cows are in a metal enclosure completely covered in a soup of watery mud and manure. Rabbits live in wire bottomed cages surrounded by debris. The rest of the place looks half abandoned even though there was a decent sized crowd there. Half strings of Christmas decorations dangle into the mud, coils of lights, wire, and metal are scattered around, piles of junk litter the edges, including broken down rides in piles between "attractions". Although the premise of the place is great (petting zoo with jumping pillow, tricycles, tractors and tire structures to climb on), it wasn't remotely like a "farm", other than a small area of tulips growing (separate charge to enter). This is a dirt lot with ill-kept animals and lots of junk/garbage with some simple fun outdoor activities mixed in. Normally our family loves a good farm/pumpkin patch/countryside farm attraction, but this place was depressing, and downright appalling when it came to the animals' conditions. *I understand that there was a fire in one of the structures recently, and none of the demolished area was included in this review. **I grew up in the countryside and with four kids, I've been to more farms/petting zoos/county fairs, etc., than I can count. I like my kids to play and get dirty and don't expect a farm to not have a few hazards and much dust/mud.

So dirty and nothing but dirt and mud everywhere. They make a ton of money but still no gravel

I went there the other with my one year old son and they wouldn't let me in because they didn't have change for $20. I had to spend about 20 minutes there asking people for change while my son was screaming bloody murder. It was in the afternoon so it was very hot. I'm just wondering how they charge $13 and don't have $1's. The ladies in the front offered no resolution whatsoever. The lady could've charged me the senior rate or something instead of having me wait forever. Finally this really nice family covered a portion of my admission. When I brought it up to the owner he just replied with this.

I took my 3 and 4 year old for the baby animals and tulips today. We had an incredible time. The kids are already asking when we can go back. Went on a chilly Saturday, arrived at 10:30am (opened at 9am). Very little crowds. Even when we left after lunch, the crowds were not too bad. So many kid activities included with admissions. Portable toilets, but they were clean. We could bring a picnic lunch and eat at the tables as well. Great way to spend the day at an affordable cost. Cannot wait to come back again.

It's with a heavy heart, I write this review. I've always loved Dutch Hollow Farms, but after having a party here, I was left sorely disappointed and a little disgusted. As we were eating, our attendant (who was very sweet) informed us that kids were free to go play whenever they were ready. She made it point to let us know that the kids may need some help getting onto the zip line, so an adult or parent can accompany them for assistance. As I'm enjoying the petting zoo, the owner (a taller that 6'0" white man) comes walking sternly towards me. The owner informs me that an attendant is required to be present while riding the zip lines and the slide. He further explains that some of my party guests disobeyed him (mentioning that he should have announced himself as the owner) and by disobeying him, it felt like a slap in the face to him (as he made a slapping motion towards my face- I'm a 5'1" woman of color who found this extremely triggering having survived domestic violence) as he has reasonable prices for birthday parties. He goes on to mention wanting to kick us out for the disobedience but decided not to kick us out since it's a birthday party (for my 9 year old). I explained to the owner how I was under the impression they were free to go on there own, as that was the information I received from the attendant. All of this was in view of my party guests... who were highly concerned and found it difficult to enjoy themselves after this incident. A clear case of... Miscommunication between the owner and his staff. Leaving myself and my guests at his mercy. There was another party present the same day. The other party (a white family) went smoothly.. all guests from that party were taken together as a group to the attractions. While it was a good price, I won't be returning.

Love the variety of different things to do for the kids! Will definitely come back again!

Great place to go to with your family, I recommend coming in March or December. Those are my personal favorite event's

This place really is the best. From farmer John & friendly staff, all the attractions to entertain the kids all day, the animals. Really a great place we love taking our kids

Fantastic!!! Affordable so everyone can enjoy!! So much fun! It's beautiful!! And, everyone is so nice!! Lots of spacious parking too. Beautiful, family fun. They put in lots of time, and effort to make it so beautiful! Lots of cool areas to take pics, and you can take your pic with Santa for free too. The animals are so adorable!! So much fun! Our new tradition!! Highly recommend!

My parent in laws live by and wanted us to take our son here for Halloween and get some dessert, pick out some pumpkins and see some animals and it was wonderful! The weather was great, it wasn't too crowded, he got to ride a horse and ride in a wagon, then went through the corn maze and see the cows and tractors and it was just a blast! He also is obsessed with buses, so to see one all colorful was a hit as well. We would definitely come again!

This place is perfect for the little ones! My 2 year old was free and $14 for myself. We went on opening day at 10am which was perfect, barley any people there. We got to do everything at our leisure. Lots of stuff to do like zip lines, bounce pad, corn pit, maze, bouncing balls, gold mining, tractor ride, slides, Tricycles, hamster roll, baby animals to pet, kid play areas. They have a couple of over priced food vendors and yogurt mill was there. They have a big assortment of pumpkins to choose from which are at a good price. You can even do a little photo shoot in the pumpkin area.

Took my boys for a surprise visit to the pumpkin patch. Ages 5,3,1. 3 hours later. They loved it! Fun for all ages. All the employees we interacted with, was a great experience. Each year the farm gets better and better with attractions. My boys played, picked out pumpkins, we ate at the taco truck and went home. Although mosquitos in the evening were terrible. Only downfall, but not a complaint. Great place for kids and adults to have a great time. The lights set up all around the farm was really cool at night.

Such a sweet fun time! There are so many activities to participate in for both the kiddos and adults! A Taco truck for snacks after the corn maze and of course lots of pumpkins! Amy was amazing in getting us checked in and snapping some shots of our group! Thanks Dutch Hollow Farms!

A nice little place in town full of fun activities for the kiddos but this time it was for me since I love love love Tulips. I didn't want to go to San Francisco for their Tulips festival since it was too far and too much traffic. This place isn't too bad. The tulips are fully bloomed and some aren't, you can pick your own (for a price $1.50 each) and walk through the fields. Give them a visit.

Sorry but this place is not family friendly very expensive and not very organized we gave it a couple of tries but unfortunately it just doesn't work for our family the kids enjoy going out to resendez farms and it's always a good time we like to support locally and we have been going there for many years they are always very nice and helpful and clean .

It's dirty and gross the don't take care of the property or the animals! The place is run down and needs attention badly the poor Animals pens are disgusting and no fresh food or water I cannot believe they don't take better care of things it really is sad and if u have ever lived in a farm u can clearly tell there pens aren't cleaned regularly some of the animals are extremely skinny like sick or starving

Dutch Hollow is an amazing place to take your family. My family and I went to Dutch Hollow for the first time ever and found ourselves having a blast. The prices for a day pass were inexpensive and all inclusive. I have a 17, 13 and 9 year old and all of my kids found something fun to do. The atmosphere was perfect for autumn photos and the all over presence of the farm was relaxing and inviting. The animals seem happy and well taken care of and the facility was clean and adventurous. I will definitely be returning to Dutch Hollow.

My child was on a field trip to Dutch Hollow. As they were unloading off the bus and getting together to go inside a private vehicle was trying to cut through around the students. The bus driver was trying to keep him from driving through and wait until all the students were safely with their group.. Words were exchanged. Another driver went over and informed the driver he needed to move and the driver refused and said "I'm a vendor" then a person gets out and walks up to the owner. Owner them waves them through with no regard to the students present. I as a parent feels this is very unprofessional of the owner to do this. She should have more safe parking for visiting students and tact when dealing with visitors. I will not be visiting this place again

Loved going to Dutch Hollow for baby animal days. We go every year for the pumpkin patch but this year I wanted to take my 7 month old daughter to see the babies. Really enjoyed the experience with my family.

I don't write reviews, like ever. But! Our family went for baby animal days this year, and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more! The weather was beautiful, and the crowds were light. We were able to get up close with the animals which was so exciting for the littles and the big kids! Animals appeared friendly and taken care of. Staff were very sweet and helpful - lots of young people working there and I really appreciated that! Admission prices are worth it; many attractions included with general admission and perfect for the little ones! Dutch Hollow is a work in progress and hidden gem that continues to grow year after year. Our family is excited to see what's in store next!

My friends son who has special needs broke his collar bone due to Dutch Hollow allowing children to play on construction items. They have huge 7ft hollow pipes that were not secure at the time. Children were in them and he was knocked over and the hollow tubes crushed his left collar bone. (Broken bone on a 4 year old) Dutch Hollow did nothing about this but secure their tubes the next day. They never called to say sorry nor did they ask if he was ok. This is how Dutch hollow treats special needs children. They saved their own backs but didn't care to help a child or their family. I wouldn't support a business like this. Negative stars!

Great place to go pick Tulips. It's fun to go out there and see all the beautiful colors of Tulips they have.

My family and I recently moved to the valley and have never gone to an actual pumpkin patch. I found this place from facebook recommendations. My family and I had a blast. The people there were very friendly. There was plenty to do with the kiddos. They had a taco and a pizza truck that was expensive but tasty. We will be back next year.

A staff says to my brother that he picked up a dirt clog and threw it at his bus when all he did was pick up a tennis ball and look at it then place it back on the floor then this guy asked him where his parents where he said over there they we went to go look at the animals then he grabbed my brother by his wrist. DONT GO HERE!

Great job keeping everything clean! Animals are amazing babies and all. Pumpkins are coming soon. Great place to go with your family and friends.

Super cute and perfect for my two little kids who are both under two. It was just enough activity for him, although might be not as fun for older kids. I loved all the animals and there were lots of pumpkins.

Great time. We had a birthday party and Amy was so nice, gave us the tour and answered all our questions. We all had so much fun. Petting zoo was so nice, the baby goats were so sweet and friendly. Animals in the barn were friendly too, gave a neck rub to a pig, and he was so cute and enjoyed it so much. What a great place. We will do it again. Thank you John and Amy!!!! :) FYI they have moved to Milnes.
