Old Time Christmas Tree Farm

Looks like a great place, but super crowded. If you arrive early enough you it may be perfect for your youngins– rides, carnival food, and corn! We were actually discouraged by how long the line was to pay for the tree. We turned around to load up and go somewhere else. If we were more patient and our toddler was older we probably would have stuck it out. We will try this next year in addition to dewberry for pumpkin patches and update my review then.

I wish I could rate as NO stars! Not worth the money! Advertised as «Giant» slide is a small inflatable that anyone can rent. Advertised that tickets are used for face painting, not true you have to pat for separate blue tickets. This may be acceptable for two and under but sucks for kids older. Staff is rude and I should have gone to dewberry

My 2 year old and I had a really nice time today at the pumpkin patch, I am not sure if I was supposed to pay for her or not, but I paid for her ticket and my own $ 10.00 total, I went and picked up a little pumpkin for her and a pie pumpkin and I paid for two tickets for the train, $ 4.00 total. When we went to sit on the train the guy that took our ticket asked me how old she was and he said 2 and under are free. The lady at the counter seen my daughter, I asked her about the tickets beforehand, and she said I had to pay for her. So the lady that was sitting with us, I gave her my other ticket and went to do my errands. All in all we had a really good time, I enjoyed the country life for a hour, and enjoyed the fresh air. Can’t wait for the Christmas trees to be ready so we can take pictures.

Pumpkin Patch Review.
We went today with our 16 month old and some friends that have babies the same age. We had a great time. It was cute had a lot of places to take pictures and free wagons to haul the pumpkins. $ 5 to get in is cheaper than most places around but you do have to pay extra for rides, but with toddlers who can’t do any of the jump houses we were fine with just a hayride around the property. My favorite part was how it didn’t feel overly crowded and we could let the toddlers roam around without stressing.
Perfect for photo ops and young children.

I’ve been to many pumpkin patches in my day. Mostly in Michigan. I have never had to pay an entry fee! $ 3 a head here. Then they gouge you for $ 2 per ticket if you want to ride anything… tractor ride, hay ride, blow up bouncy house and slide. The pumpkins are store bought (bulk) and shipped in unlike other places that grow them onsite.
In my opinion, just a place that is looking to pull money from your pocket once you get in the door. I wasn’t impressed… but perhaps I was spoiled by some awesome patches in the north that were fun and free! You only paid for pumpkins and apple cider…

We went out for our first visit to this tree farm and really had a good time. It was a lot more fun than just stopping at one of the cut Christmas tree vendors we drove past along the way.
We were able to park close to the entrance and they explained how everything worked as soon as we walked in. We grabbed a saw and a tree measuring stick an went walking into the tree farm. They do offer rides on a tractor to bring you out into the farm but it stayed pretty busy so we just walked. We enjoyed picking our tree and then cutting it down while taking plenty of pictures.
Fun place to bring kids and create memories. We will probably make this a family tradition instead of buying a tree at the grocery store like we have done in the past.
We will be back!

This place is all about making good family memories. Is it a little pricey? Yes. Could you get the same pumpkin at HEB for cheaper? Yes. But you’re missing all the pictures and excitement for the kids. We go every year to meet with family for pictures and this year was our baby first pumpkin patch visit and we can’t wait till he gets a little older and can enjoy all the fun. But right now we just take the pictures for him to look at when he is older
They have huge piles of pumpkins to pick out your fav and take photos. Bounce house. hay ride around the Christmas tree farm.

My family recently moved into the area and wanted to go on our annual tradition of going to a pumpkin patch to select a pumpkin to carve for Halloween.
Got to Old Time Christmas tree farm and saw «$ 3 /​per person (ages 2 and up) to get in.» It would have meant $ 9 for my family to go in and buy a (presumably) overpriced pumpkin — from what I could see, they were all arranged in a huge pile. They had moonwalks and slides for kids, but as my child is too young to enjoy that sort of thing, really didn’t see the value. Not sure if you could just buy a pumpkin and rather than pay to go into the place but I wasn’t going to bother, just didn’t look special enough to me to waste my time… I might as well have just gone to H-​E-​B.

Overall great place! We went today just by some websites recommendations. Our daughter is 6 and loved picking out her own tree and watching her dad cut it down. When you get there is tucked back off of the main road and its a huge farm. No entrance fee and a very helpful staff once you get there to explain things. We got on the hayride and headed out to the farm to pick our tree. We spent probably 45 mins out there looking around for our perfect tree. By the way you don’t have to worry about bring anything; they have the saws, twine, measuring sticks, and the help to get it on your car. After you pick your tree they shake it out and net it up. Then they hold it in the front while you do what else you want. They have a train ride, santa pictures, and bounce houses. I’m sure they have other stuff but that’s the main stuff in the front. I did love my snow cone, can never go wrong with a snow cone. Lots of area with farm animals, some you can pet, a couple parks for kids to play, and picture opportunities. Concessions were ok, they had good prices.
One more of my favorite parts was that she also could see santa, get a picture, and all under $ 10 and no line. At the malls I’ve spent $ 30-​$ 40 dollars and waited for over 2 hours. Great opportunity to do both.
Ok now for the negative, which was the bounce house and the other little side games. They nickel and dime you to death. Are you serious $ 2 to go on ONE bounce house 3 times, when no one is even around. The people working this area were actually counting and paying attention. What child goes on a bounce house 3 times and is told to get off when there is like 2 other kids on any of the 4 choices of bounce houses. Oh and they don’t want your child to switch between the 4, are you kidding, I have to pay $ 2 for each bounce house for her to go 3 times. Considering everyone coming in is spending $ 60-​$ 150 dollars, I think this is a bit stupid.
Overall though we had a great experience, santa was great, we even got a picture with Santa and Mrs.Clause. Great family day, good prices on the trees and a lot to do. We will be back, I just hope they can start giving a little to respect the paying customers and show some hospitality.

Very nice place. PLENTY of well maintained trees to choose from at decent prices. Even some precuts (which I’m not sure why you would want a precut tree, since the point of going to a tree farm is to cut your own…) Nice hayride experience to and from your tree cutting. Carnival-​type food stands are OK but nothing spectacular. Truly nice kids attractions: blow up bouncy-​house, slide, and obstacle course — $ 10 per child allows each child to experience each one three times. Nice train ride attraction that is about 8 – 10 minutes long, taking you around the entire farm. All-​in-​all, worth the drive from Houston to get a nice tree and have about two hours of quality family holiday time.

Pricey Trees, not so bright «tree helpers» and then they charge you $ 2.00 a ticket for your kid to jump in a bounce house for 3 minutes. 3 minutes!!! Or you can choose from a slide where you pay $ 2.00 to let your kid slide 3 times. WTH? They are looking for any and every way to make a buck and it is very annoying. You would think that after paying $ 150.00 for a tree they would let your kid jump in the bounce house or slide down the slide.
Then when you are leaving they accost you for a receipt to make sure you paid for your pricey tree. Seriously. This place has no loyalty of mine and certainly will get no referrals or recommendations. They should rework their customer service a little and maybe try and a little different approach than just charging people for everything.

I don’t think I’ll be back. We came when it was scorching hot, super crowded = long lines for the train ride, face painting, and the hay ride was slow, boring, and the heat didn’t help. There really isn’t much to do either. It was an experience, a one time experience. On the plus side, people that were leaving gave us their extra tickets… we didn’t even get to use all the tickets, so we also gave them to other people coming in.

we’ve bought a christmas tree here for 10 years and enjoy the tradition. pricey trees, but i don’t mind since it’s a neat experience and my money is going into a company in my area. however, i went there one year to pick a pumpkin, paid to get in, and left 3 minutes later without a pumpkin. i didn’t feel that was worth it.

Seems excessive to charge 3 bucks to get in plus 2 bucks for every ticket. The only thing that was free was looking or taking pictures. I’m surprised it didn’t cost to bring in a camera. Pumpkins looked nice but were all jumbo size that cost 12 bucks. I would save your money and head to HEB to buy a pumpkin.

This place was fantastic! The price was right and the kids had a great time. You probably don’t need to buy as many tickets as you think. They let the kids go in the bouncers three times per ticket, and they go in for rescues so momma doesn’t have to have her booty stuck in the bouncer trying to get a stray child out. Want to check out for Christmas. Oh, side note. Take you allergy medicine if you have outdoor allergies. I’ll be draining for the next week I’m sure.

Christmas trees for the holidays and pumpkins for Halloween/​Thanksgiving. This was the first time at this patch, it was a lot of fun. Lots of families and things to do for the kids! Hay rides, train rides, rubber duck races, bouncy house with a slide, BBQ and snow cones! Every thing was one ticket so I thought it was a good deal since this things can be very expensive! It was very affordable. Lots of fun! We are thinking we will be back for Christmas!

Christmas trees and pumpkins await you here at this historic farm turned into a Christmas tree orchard.
For Halloween, they have a pumpkin patch, but it’s $ 3 to get in, then you must pay for anything else — hay ride, train, pumpkins, etc. Seems a little excessive to charge an entrance fee.
During Christmas, you can cut your own tree, ride a hay ride, etc. The prices are comparable to other places to get trees, but at least here, you know the unsold ones won’t be turned into mulch.
They’ve got lots of space for group outings and have a large pavillion near a playground.
