Circle S Farms

Not what it used to be. For what you pay I was very disappointed. The fun barn has a couple of slides and that’s about it. We went on the hay ride and you could see workers throwing and chucking pumpkins in the field for you to pick. They were all small and most were fair/​poor quality. See my video I shot. We will not be back.

0 Stars!!40 minutes in line to get in is completely unacceptable. The admission processes is way too slow. Then when you get in line to start the process of getting you out to the pumpkin patch it is just as long of a wait. I would rather have walked out to the patch and carried my pumpkin back than have stood in line for all the time they make you wait. It is 8.50 per person and anyone over 2 is a person and the pumpkin also will cost you on top of that. The part of the field they took us to had a lot of small or deformed pumpkins, we had to walk really far away to find a good one and by good I mean serviceable not great. The process took so long we didn’t do any other attractions on the property, 2 hours car to car. I wouldn’t waste my time here if I was asked by someone and I won’t go back again.

Don’t waste your time and money. This place is nothing but waiting in lines — a huge line to get in, a line for the hayride out to the picked over pumpkin patch, a line to buy some doughnuts. We were there for 3 hours and 2.5 hours of that was waiting in lines. $ 8.50/person is highway robbery. Zero organization from the ticket counter to the bakery.
ETA the «petting zoo» is one semi-​friendly goat. The other goats wanted nothing to do with anyone. There were a few bunnies in a cage that you couldn’t really pet either and a couple of raggedy chickens.

Every year this place seems to careless than the year previous. I understand our visit was towards the end of the season but clearly the patch was picked through and they just dropped pumpkins in the patch. The people working here were rude. The place was run down, broken chairs left out, the photo holes where broken and other stuff. We talked with another couple and they felt the same way. Not worth money and our family tradition of coming the last 4 years has ended.

This place rocks for kids. There is so much to do – mini maze, HUGE «fun barn» that is stacked with hay to climb up, jump down, and slide down slides, a tractor to climb on, and, of course, the hayride that takes the kids out to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin. There are also goats, rabbits and chickens and was I happy to notice how well-​loved and taken care of they seemed. One of the gentlemen working there saw us looking at the bunnies and told us all about their personalities.
We could have stayed all day – and will definitely be back.

This was a fun fall outing for my nephew’s first pumpkin picking experience. My brother, sister-​in-​law, nephew and I drove down from Columbus to meet up with his grandparents. It’s a short drive from the exit off 71 on beautifully colored foliage heavy winding roads. Parking is free when you arrive and there are strategically placed port-​o-​potties all around the lot and farm.
It was a lovely experience, but some marketing and signage, and even just communication from the staff would have made a good experience even better.
Here’s the deal: $ 8/​person and kids under 2 years old are free to enter. If you would like to pick a pumpkin out in the field, it’s an additional $ 4 per pumpkin. None of this was really explained to us, nor the orange bracelet to enter or the yellow «Admit One» ticket for the hayride. Grandma didn’t realize the yellow tickets were to get on the hayride, so she pitched them as soon as we walked through the corn stack gates.
There are several photo ops on entrance including oversized pumpkins, painted wooden «face-​in-​hole» displays, and a non-​working orange tractor. The petting zoo only consisted of 3 or 4 goats that you had to touch through the fence. But they were really cute with their subtraction sign pupils. Older kids could romp on hay bales stacked in pyramids in the «Fun Barn.»
Despite not having our tickets, the farmer allowed us as stowaways on the hayride. He was really nice about letting us on. Another key communication opportunity for the farm could be a whistle or horn when the hayride begins (unexpected whiplash surprise!) and some «Do not sit here!» signs on areas in the carts where he verbally requested you didn’t occupy while the ride was in motion. The ride out to the field was picturesque and was a good amount of time to take in nature, not too long or too short. The orange coupon you received when pre-​paying had the number of pumpkins coming to you circled on it. The tractor stopped between two very densely populated patches and everyone had about 10 minutes to find their perfect pumpkin (s) and surrender their coupons. We all piled back on the cart and the tractor had drop-​offs at the parking lots, so you could put your loot in the car and continue fun on the farm.
For those who have been to the farm before and know the ropes, this is an awesome and reasonably price family tradition and memory maker. For those who it is their first time and are confused from lack of information, it might be a turn-​off for a return visit back.

Holy bee problem! There were bees everywhere, no joke. That being said, this is a fun fall jaunt. There are tons of kids activities, including a corn maze, hay ride, animals, and pumpkins! For $ 8 you get access to everything, plus a free donut & apple juice. Make it $ 12 if you want to take a pumpkin home. Not a bad deal.

We had a ball.

We had to wait in line for about 20 mins just to get into the place. $ 8 gets you inside and then another $ 4 for a pumpkin. For the $ 8 you get to walk thru a corn maze about waist high of dead corn. Same goes with the sun flower maze. «Petting Zoo» is a couple goats sitting in the middle of a circular ring no where near the edge for petting. For $ 8 it should include a pumpkin. I’m not going back.

I had a great time, but I thought $ 8 was a little much for a «hay ride» that took us in a circle to choose a pumpkin and back. The pumpkins are $ 3, in addition to the admission/​hay ride fee. It was fun to pick them off of the vine, but they only take you to a designated area and it seemed like the pickin’s were slim. If we go again, we will be sure to bring fewer adults, because we were left bored.
I’m not sure if they just didn’t tell us, but we did not get a doughnut or cider. The pumpkin doughnuts lacked a pumpkin flavor, but were fresh and decent. This is something we paid for, separately. It is definitely more for the kids, but my nephew wasn’t too impressed with the petting zoo (there were only a few animals, that I saw). We also didn’t do the corn maze and he didn’t really like the barn with hay and slides.

I’ve been going to Circle S for almost four years now.
For 8 bucks you get the following:
a Hay Ride
a Pumpkin of your choice from the patch
a Doughnut
a Cider
access to the sunflower maze and the corn maze
a barn full of hay for the kiddies to go play in (big kids are welcome too)
You get all this for the price of a normal pumpkin you’d pick up at supermarket, so what are you waiting for? GO! GO NOW!
This is one of my most anticipated trips every fall. The store they have in the back had some jams that has been fought over in my house before and some wonderful mixes for spinach dip and other delicious foods.
I’ve gone for work outings, team buildings, out of town visitors, or just for myself. Cause mama deserves a little treat now and then.
It is a really wonderful experience.

Awesome fall family fun! I’ve been during the summer for pick-​your-​own Strawberries and in the Fall for fun days. As a photographer, I’ve even taken clients here. A ton of fun family things from hay rides to pick-​your-​own to playing in a huge hay barn and more. Parking is super easy.

Now through October 31, Circle S is having their Fall Fun Days. It is so fun and a fantastic place to take kids! Parking is easy and from start to finish there amazingly creative things to do and see. Admission is $ 8 each and you can buy pumpkins still on the vine in the pumpkin patch for $ 3 each! What a bargain! (I was at Kroger the other day and almost bought one for $ 10– glad I waited!).
The corn maze is a bit ‘eh’ though I don’t have many other corn mazes to compare it to but the hay barn was so cool! This place is obviously geared more towards kids than adults but I had so much fun watching the 2 little ones that i took. Be prepared… it took an act of Congress to get them out of there and when I did they had played so hard they fell asleep in the car. But after the corn maze, sunflower maze (my favorite), hayride, petting zoo, the pumpkin picking the scarecrow cave and the fun barn, I would have too had I not been driving!
If you go, YOU MUST try the doughnuts (you get free cider and a Circle S doughnut). I don’t think I have ever had a better and I am Krispy Kreme’s biggest fan! I am starting to drool just thinking about it actually.
Seriously, this place is the coolest!
