Ive been here many times. They have an entrance fee if you take advantage of the corn maze, pumpkin picking , animal petting, wagon sides etc. If youre just partaking in the retail its free to get in. they have a few small sheds one sells funnel cakes ,beer, one sells wine and cider and fudge and then a larger building that has baked goods and other products. They even have wheelbarrows to take your pumpkin selections to your vehicles. Nice place and was really busy
Tims Pumpkin Patch is so much fun for the whole family. They have hay rides, mazes, a bunch of animals for the kids to see, and good eats. When its around Thanksgiving time you want to plan for at least two hours so you can go and pick your pumpkins before enjoying all the fun.
Tims Pumpkin Patch is one of our favorite fall places to visit. If you havent been there in a few years, they have done aot of work to expand their store and seating capacity. Even this late in the Halloween season, still plenty of nice pumpkins to pick on your own or from the preselected areas.
Tims Pumpkin Patch is a great place to hang out with family and friends and listen to some live music. My wife and I sat by one of the fire pits and listened to a wonderful band named the Civil Servants. The staff here is excellent and friendly and they have a nice variety of food and drink. It was an awesome place to spend a Friday night!!
Update - Response to Owner:We only wanted to pick pumpkins, but had to pay because it included all the other activities. And we saw the tractor sitting there until 6:30pm and it never moved. Im not saying to avoid your pumpkin patch, Im just saying avoid it if you want a decent environment for children or dont feel you should have to pay to have access to pick pumpkins.Certainly dont go on a Friday evening with kids. First of all, you have to pay admission to go pick pumpkins that you will then pay for. There was no hay ride as claimed when you pay as you go in. The music was so loud you could here it everywhere and it was third rate very hard rock. Finally, of course they have to sell as much alcohol as possible, so you have drunks screaming obscenities in front of my children. Absolutely the last time we will ever go to this place. BLUF : Just think Beak and Skiffs but with pumpkins.
Friday night at Tims was the best night yet of my family’s and my summer. The place was absolutely jamming and for their first night I was so impressed with the music, food, and drinks. I can only imagine how fun the next one will be and I’d recommend coming to anyone country fan or not!
We visit Tims every year. This year, I’m very disappointed. I paid extra to be able to pet animals, ride them wagon, do the mazes etc. Just to watch people with no wristband (meaning they didn’t pay) do the same exact things we paid for. If you are making people pay for these activities, you should at least monitor. If you can’t, you should not be charging people or charge a general admission fee.Edited to add: please also check on the goats enclosures. I had to stick my whole body through the fence to untangle one from the wire coming off the fence. It was wrapped around his neck and very concerning. It was down beneath the goat bridge.
My husband and I have been going to Tims for the last 15 years. My husband has been going since he was a child. And, 9 years ago we started bringing our children. I am sad to say this will be our last year at Tims. There is now a fee to get into Tims and you have to pay this in order to get to the u-pick fields. It has become so commercialized and lost its original charm. Really disappointing.
Amazing atmosphere for fall. Was well put together for safety measures during covid. They offered a wide variety of outdoor activities that are still family friendly. Very cost effective pricing, and still had a huge pumpkin selection. Highly recommend and was worth traveling over a hour and a half for.
Very disappointed this year. Been coming here for 26 or 27 years. We drove from Bridgeport, NY on Sat. 9/26/20 to find out a BIG surprise when we got there. We would have to pay $5. for each adult and $4. for each child admission just to get in to go out to field to pick a pumpkin. That would have cost us $14. and still the price of pumpkins. NEVER in all the years coming here had to pay a price to get in. We did not get pumpkins as this was to much to pay out. Not sure why a huge price. Nothing on there web site about paying a price to get in just a Covid note that things would LOOK different. Would be like a Christmas tree farm charging you admission to go cut a tree and the price of the tree. If this was to try to control how many people go in there was no control as they where letting anyone in who paid. We really used to enjoy this place as had god prices but not anymore. Not sure if they want people to pay for addition to bakery or maybe kids collage, but will not be coming back here as there are many more pumpkin patches that do not charge to get in
This is seriously the best place in Central New York to get pumpkins. They have some that they picked and U-Pick. There are so many varieties to choose from. Not only do they have pumpkins and gourds but there are a lot of other fun activities. We go here every year. I cant wait until my daughter is older so she can enjoy the animal barn, corn maze etc.
Tims pumpkin patch USED to be great. It has officially become to greedy for my family. When we 1st starting going 7plus years ago it was free admission and 2$ a pumpkin NO MATTER what..over the years they have not only raised the price from anywhere from 5$ to 20$ a pumpkin but now they are charging 3$ a person to get in. I will never bring my family there ever again.
What a fun place?! Im not much of a donut girl but these bad boys were amazing!!! Fields were beautifully well kept and stocked w pumpkins, gourds and calabasas of all shapes and sizes. Staff were friendly and so were their animals. A great find suggested by a local restaurant. *Ask the locals, they know the best places*
Ive been going there for years, as my children have grown. I went this year with grown children. I cant believe how greedy Tim luebner has gotten. We walked out to the field to pick a couple pumpkins. There were no prices we noticed other than on the already picked pumpkins. We came back from the field and were charged$5 per pumpkin that we walked out and picked. Im a farmer too I know how much time was into growing those pumpkins. Then I noticed they are serving beer at kids day out. I can be a party person but when I saw tons of people drinking beer with young children made me think how greedy he is. Sad to say if and when I have grand children I will not bring them there. I will find a not so greedy farmer.

2021-09-26What a pleasant surprise. Didnt know what to expect when we planned a stop at the pumpkin patch. Its a vibrant farm with many family friendly activities. Theres farm animals to feed and tractor rides and endless acres of pumpkins to pick. Wheelbarrows available to help gather gourds and pumpkins. Food on premises including pizza, cider doughnuts, fudge, kettle corn, fresh baked cookies and more. Adult beverages available too. Live music.

2021-10-24Absolutely packed, chaotic and a disorganized mess. Youd expect a little more organization (lol, whats the $5 entry for anyway). No staff wearing masks and no urgency to keep the line inside moving. Everyone just packed together in a very small space. Not a good look for businesses these days to make it seem like a free-for-all. Have some control point of how many people in a building, have a mask policy and show a little more care.

2021-10-24Fun place to bring kids to go pumpkin picking! We went on a Saturday a week before Halloween and it was busy! Still lots to do and lots of pumpkins to choose from out in the field. Just beware that lines are long for food when it gets busy.

2021-10-03We go every year, Tims is always a favorite place for us! After seeing their new cookie bucket on social media a couple weeks ago its all I wanted!! Sadly they said they were not making any today. :( Got a donut sundae and that was good too. Also got some drinks from the brew barn, they were good too.

2020-10-09One of the best places around to get your pumpkins, gourds, hay, decorative corn and more! Kids love it for the corn maze, pick your own pumpkins, sweet treats and farm animals. Adults love it for BEER barn. Overall you cant go wrong for fall festivities. Oh, there is a hayride and other stuff to do as well. You could spend quite a bit of time here.

2017-10-03Wicked cheap pumpkin patch to go to! They had lots of $1 pumpkins. Other $3, $5 or $10 pumpkins that were pre-picked. The $10 ones were huge. Then they had a HUGE field of pumpkins you could pick yourself. And ones that you picked that were as big as the $10 pre-picked ones, you could get for $4!! And the smaller ones were between $1 and $3. Then they had a hay maze that was way cool! My 3 yr old son wanted to go in, so I did, and that was only $1 per person. They had a corn maze too that was $3 per person. They had local beer and hard cider (I recommend the cider). They had a bunch of farm animals and you could pay $.25 for some food for them. It was overall clean, the staff workers were nice, attentive and helpful. Ill be going back next year for sure.

2019-10-12This place is amazing! You can pick your own pumpkins or get some already picked. There are food and drinks available, as well as fresh produce and decorations. Prices arent bad either!
