Packer Orchards And Farm Place

Visited with the family for the tulip festival. We all had a fun time. Beautiful scenery, super kid friendly, local farm to table products available for purchase, play structures for the kids, and goats that you can feed and pet. Only downer was that we couldn't bring home any bulbs we picked out of the ground.

Very family/kid friendly. Lots of food options and tons of activities for kids. Lots of space to sit and enjoy.

Packer Orchards and Farm Place in Hood River, Oregon, is a delightful destination for families and food enthusiasts. Known for its fresh, locally grown produce, the farm offers a variety of seasonal fruits, baked goods, and homemade jams. The friendly staff enhances the welcoming atmosphere, while the scenic location provides beautiful views of the surrounding orchards. With activities like fruit picking and a charming farm store, it's a perfect spot for a day trip, offering a genuine taste of Oregon's agricultural bounty.

Super fun and lovely staff. All the treats and foods are delicious. It can be a little spendy so budget accordingly.

Everything is absolutely amazing! Jam, salsas, desserts, and the best empanadas you’ll ever put into your mouth! Definitely make a stop here!

They had a nice variety of apples, pears and pumpkins. Also many lovely preserves, cider and baked goods to choose from. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you for all the lovely produce!

I was touring the fruit loop near Mt. Hood with several friends, and this was the best stop by a considerable margin. If you just want to get a quick taste of Oregon produce, they have samples which scratch that itch as well copious samples of homemade pickles, jams, and other spreads which will certainly entice you to buy a jar or two. The bakery options are also excellent and they were playing some nice Steely Dan when I visited, so that's another bonus point. Strongly recommended.

Had a great time for the spring/tulip festival. We came for the fall festival and had to make it out again when we saw there was another event. We packed up all the kids & drove over an hour for this. It’s fun, low key, and the kids are TIRED afterwards. Thanks so much for having us!

Omg... Why does this place have such terrible reviews? This was hands down our favorite spot that we stopped in. They had so much fun stuff for the kids to do. They had bubbles, a corn maze, a corn bin to play in, roping, practice, tube races and much more. The samples were amazing too. We had a cider, donuts and bought some raspberry jalapeno jam.

this place is very good, the only gripe I had was it was 72 dollars for 4 people. We ended up doing almost everything. The corn pit was big and the corn maze was big too, though the maze was a little dead and very short because we went in October rather than September. The gopher racers were cool and we did maybe 10 other cool things. Got many good photos and a core memory. The apple cider was cool and we got souvenir cups to keep. 4 stars

This is the very best Pumpkin Patch Ever! We have been going every year for 6 years and you just cant beat the family day activites. There is so much to do! We moved out of the area and are headed back from 2.5 hrs away! We Love Love Love Packer Orchards!

Prices are ridiculous.. this place used to be awesome. Read your reviews and go back to the way it was.

All we wanted to do was feed the goats. Bought the goat feed inside the store and wasn't told we had to pay admission as well to feed them. We ended up paying admission which was $60 for 4 people figuring we could at least do the corn maze. The corn maze was maybe 4 -5 feet tall and completely disappointing. And feeding the goats was a waste of time because you couldn't even enter the enclosure. The staff was rude when we asked for a refund. Overall very disappointed and would tell anyone to steer clear of paying the ridiculous admissions price for horrible entertainment.

Expensive and disappointing. Many of the 'attractions' were broken, rotted and tired. Went on a Friday, paid 'weekend' pricing and later told the kids tractor train doesn't run on weekdays.... very weird since they charged all eight of us weekend rates! It was a blustery cool day, none of the heaters were on, and the fire pit was cold with no fire going. Just lazy. Regrettably someone from our group ordered food because the kids were starving. Big mistake. Mac and cheese advertised as "From Scratch" on the menu consisted of soggy noodles drowned in fake liquid nacho 'cheese' from a dispenser. The tacos were literally the worst tacos I've ever tasted, anywhere, hands down. Packer Orchards is so bad, I couldn't believe it was Hood River. Trust me, not the place to bring your kids for a Halloween experience or any other holiday 'festival' they host. Others have said this place is "meh" but I think that's too generous.

Awsome place ! The bakery is the best, with more choices than you can imagine, it's hard to go away without a lot of goodies

Years ago this was my favorite pumpkin patch, but I highly recommend going elsewhere - many changes have been made in recent years, and all for the worse. The are asking an ungodly unreasonable amount for admissions, and there is only one rate. Are you an adult, and want to pick out a pumpkin? You must pay $20 just to step foot on the premises, which "includes" kids play stuff, no exceptions- and that price doesn't even include a pumpkin?! For 2 adults to do nothing than to walk 30 ft and select a carving pumpkin each- it would have cost no less than & $75. You have been warned! (The magical sample land the bakery used to be is also no more, and you will pick up housemade doughnuts in a plastic clamshell container off a table, rather than being handed hot fresh ones in a paper bag as they come out. I have fond memories of this place, but it's been stripped of some of its charms, and I can't support such money-grubbing.

Very disappointed in this place. Went here for the 1st in years and it's just meh and not enjoyable. Just to enter the pumpkin patch area was $20 per person and that not included of getting a pumpkin. If you want a pumpkin it's extra. Just really disappointed and sad to see what this place had become and ruined what was my childhood was years ago. I remember no enter fee big patches of pumpkin barrels of fruits you can buy but I know this is under new owners but still should kept it how it was and not what it is now. Not impressed at all and don't really recommend this anymore sadly.

Skip Packer Farm this year. They are continuing to charge admission but then not enforcing masking or distancing on the hale bales, play structures and pumpkin patches. They were large groups of older children all in each other's faces without masks. This is why we can't return to school because businesses like this are being reckless. They didn't even seem to care or offer a refund when we left. Not worth it!

My favorite Hood River Scenic Route stop. The variety of products from canned goods, to bake at home and quick yummy snacks to go make it unforgettable. My only wish is they were open on weekends during the off season.

Really enjoyed the visit. Great corn maze, corn box, hay bail pyramid Very clean and organized. Many activities for the kids $6 per person. Excellent value for 2 hours of fun Wore our grandson out Need this in The Dalles

We take our family every year! My kids love the corn maze and I love their tasty treats. Apple cider donuts are my favorite

I took my 76yr old parents and 9 yr old daughter to this farm for fall festivities. We have been going to the farm for over 40 years when the prior owners ran it. The last time we went was 2016; I think it had just become Packer. I will NEVER go back. We went on Saturday, October 20, 2018. They wanted to charge my parents to go back to watch my daughter play on the hay and choose her pumpkin. I get paying for me and her; I was going to do the maze with her, so fine. But to charge grandparents to simply WATCH their grandchild is asinine. Needless to say, I didn't pay. I went to another awesome farm farther up the mountain.

Horrible service. Won't be going back ever. It used to be such a family tradition when Rasmussen's owned it. Now it's just a business. So sad.

This place now is really just not worth the trip. They have very few attractions (not nearly as much as Rasmussen) and prices are really high. The pumpkin patch is mediocre, there are few things set up for Halloween, the corn maze is expensive, the store carries some tasty jams and whatnot but not too much else. Pumpkins are really expensive now. Not much selection of apple's and pears (you can get way more at other local stores). They wanted $3 for a cup of hot cider! They really need to get more stuff if they want to keep charging the new high prices.

Really disappointed in this place. It's very cute but they added even more admission this year and it would have cost us $24 for our family of four just to walk around the pumpkin patch. You can't even get on the grounds anymore without paying admission. Once you add the high cost of treats and pumpkins after that, it just wasn't worth it. The cookies are usually super stale/plastic tasting also. The cider doughnuts are good if you get them fresh but the prices are unreasonable. We are locals and we have just given up on this place. We are now going to drive all the way to Portland to have an enjoyable pumpkin patch experience.

This place was wonderfully fun for the family and they have delicious honey and jams.
