There's just no place that comes close to rivaling Goebberts!

Love it !

A fall / Halloween tradition! Plenty to see for the kids (and a few things for the adults as well). Love the smashing pumpkin dragon and the apple cider donuts can’t be beat. Don’t miss the candy cannon, it’s wild.

I absolutely love coming to this pumpkin farm! Since moving away, I hadn’t been back for years, and I’m so impressed by how much it has grown while still keeping the same classic charm I remember from my childhood. I’m thrilled that I’ll be moving back to the area soon so I can visit every year again. I was a little bummed to learn that pumpkins can’t be placed on the ground anymore because some visitors don’t respect them — but I completely understand why. I’m so happy to see the pumpkin-eating dinosaur still around and working! I was also a little disappointed that the roasted corn was finished for the season and that the pork is no longer on the menu (it was absolutely delicious). The hayride felt a little different this year without the spider dropping on riders or the trip through the barn, but I still loved all the skeletons and other fun decorations along the way. Overall, it’s still one of my favorite fall traditions, and I’m so glad this farm continues to grow while keeping its heart and charm alive. I can’t wait to come back next year!

Goebbert's Farm is a great place to bring your kids or go on a fun day date! My girlfriend and I just went there for a Fall date and we had a blast! Feeding a Giraffe by hand is so cool! Highly recommend!

Great pumpkin patch. Great fun.
