  Not the greatest pictures, but the staff was phenomenal at trying to make everyone have a great time. Will be back for the Halloween event.

  We visit Maples Farm and Garden Center all year-round, for plants of all kinds for our garden projects. The staff is very knowledgeable, often making recommendations we would never have thought of ourselves. We are highly satisfied with the selection and quality of plants we've purchased here. On one occasion, we had an issue with a butterfly bush we purchased. We called them and they told us to bring it back and they would replace it immediately, apologizing for the inconvenience. Maples stands behind what they sell. An annual event for us is to visit Maples in October when they are running their Autumn/Halloween Event. We've been attending this for years, bringing the kids from when they were in a stroller, right up through their teen years. The event is GREAT FUN, with the entire farm all dressed-up in an Autumn and Halloween theme. Hay rides run regularly from the main building up to the "pumpkin patch" on the hill, where you can pick from an ocean of large and small, sweet pumpkins. Along the way, you get a chance to feed carrots to the Scottish Highlander cattle. Behind the main building, the kids can play a variety of games, play in a bounce house, and navigate an AWESOME hay maze. Of course, don't forget to visit the pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, cows, and horse in the lower-level barn -AND- the haunted house in the back barn. All GREAT FUN! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  Gave 3 stars for a particular event, the holiday festival. It was a very nice event overall however the ad for the event is a bit misleading. There were no games, they weren't fully finished decorating so i feel they weren't prepared for the event, it says smores and arts & craft - they do offer however you have to pay for these additional things. Also wasnt told about paying for the crafts until after we finished the crafts, the lady running the area also was misleading when we first walked in to do them. Admission only covers the viewing of lights, kids bouncy inflatables, standing by the fire pits and hay ride up to the movie and viewing of movie.

  Response from the owner

  Good evening. Thank you for your review. We admit this is a new event that we continue to expand on. We are continuing to add displays even now. We hope to keep making it bigger and better in the years to come. The price is for admission, so we are sorry about the confusion. If you would like to contact us at [email protected] we would like to help make things right. Thank you and happy holidays.
