Vertuccio Farms

My friend and I visited this farm after all the social media hype about petting calves during their winter event. So of course we paid a visit, even devoured the day to eating vegan just to not be hypocrites for the day. Ain't gonna go attempt to heal my soul by petting calves if I indulged in eating animals. *shrugs* Anywho, turns out, petting sessions with the calves is an additional fee. I guess I should have not been surprised. The experience was fun, charming, and definitely family friendly, great for kids, adults alike. The rest of the event was almost exclusively geared towards the kiddos. Since my party consisted of myself and another adult, obviously we didn't find much delight in the other stuff. Overall, I would not say it was worth it for me to drive there from central phoenix. But hey, calves.

I'm tired!Went along with my two grandsons to burn off some energy and we did a lot of that. Pretty good family fun for the young and the getting up-there like myself. All the rides and slides were open, many choices for the kiddos to climb up, on and through. Corn maze was fun as well as the free petting zoo. Food choices were limited for the picky folks but no one should have been crying. After 4 hours of such fun this Grandpa needed nap. Five minutes into the ride home those kids fell asleep. Last words...sweet.

This was an even to raise money for Love Pup. It was free with a donation. It was very organized. Everyone was really friendly. It was a lot of fun to see all the families and dogs. The grounds were clean and a lot of space was provided for the dogs and people.

Fun putting with the family and kiddos! Love the fact that the price at the door gets you to experience all the fun and activities on the inside, it's not additional charges to go down a slide or walk a maze LOVE THAT! So it doesn't cost you an arm and leg to have fun w the family, like other farms and there is plenty to keep you active. Lots of good food and deserts to choose from and bev stations, we had the tri tip tots and pulled pork sliders they were delicious and got lemonades which were also great, and came in a reusable cup love that. Staff was all very friendly and welcoming, farm was clean, my only complaint would be it's hard to breathe if ur dust or allergy sensitive.. the dust that kicks up from the train ride and everything, I'd say it's pretty hard to breathe next to the train and maze idk if there's a way can calm the dust but that's my only complaint. Otherwise love this little farm and hope it continues as is w the friendly staff great food and drinks plenty fun activities and BEST PRICES!!

Alrighty hang tighty, this will be a long review for the "pumpkin patch"/ Fall Festival....*$15 entrance per adult and kids of all ages but kids 2 years and under are free. If you bring in a non perishable food item for the food bank per person, you get $2 off so $13! * Military Active/Retired and First Responders (Fire, Police, Border Patrol, Paramedics) $3 off any day with ID* Seniors $2 off with ID any day.Pumpkins and food not included, gotta pay for those separately. But they allow you to bring in your own food and drinks so I was happy about that. There is a huge free parking lot. It's all dirt so don't get a car wash beforehand. Lols...We went on a Friday around 3:30 and it was not busy. The crowds and long lines started to form around 6:30. I didn't eat any food except for the dole whip ($6 and it was good) so can't say much about it....So if you are looking for a field of pumpkins to frolick around in..... this is not your place. They do have pumpkins but just in an area at the exit. There was still an adequate amount for a photo opp with the kids, which was all I wanted....Vertuccio's is more like this huge outdoor area of activities. My kids are 9, 6 and 4 and had a blast. We were there for 4 hours! Some of the activities included - 5 acre Corn MazePetting ZooSuper Mega tube SlideCarnival GamesBarrel Train RideGiant Tube rollGiant Jump PadSmall PlaygroundMini GolfAnd my fave, these lil cow cars that you're whipped around in by a tractor. There is also a pony ride for $5. My 4 year old could go on everything except the mega tube slide bc there was a height requirement and she didn't meet it. But honestly it wasn't like the high school looking kid manning that ride was measuring kids so she could have snuck in but she would have had a hard time pulling the tubes up the hill anyways...I didn't come across any issues. Any staff we interacted with was nice. No racist profiling. Someone said they didn't like how the corn field was too big and hard to find the exit but we thought it was fun! Someone mentioned not the place for date night, which made me laugh. C'mon this is more for families. My hubs and I wouldn't choose to go here for date night. Lols They could do some better crowd control with the petting zoo when it gets busy though. I walked by and it was crammed full of people. Poor animals! If you have smaller kids like around ages 1-3, I think Mother Nature might be better bc there are more activities there for the tiny tots:)Oh and I heard to avoid the weekends bc that's when it's packed...

Such a fun place to go. I have gone twice this year, one on a Friday and the other on a Saturday. It gets very busy the later into the evening you get, so I would recommend going earlier and purchasing tickets online. They have a lot of activities to do with young children. They even had a camel you can feed! Overall, it was a really nice time. The only recommendation I have is to bring in funnel cake. Other than that, this place is great.

There are a few farms in the area that have events for Halloween/Christmas, with Vertuccio being the closest to us so that is the one that we go to a lot.The setup is basically the same every year - slides, jump pads, teeter-totters, animals, wagon/ATV ride, maze, petting zoo, etc. The kids have fun every time we go but after a while as an adult it gets a little old.The lines are really hit-and-miss. One year we went and the ATV ride thing was like a 5min wait. Another year it was a monster line for like an hour. I dont remember what time of year we went (i.e. did we go 4 weekends before the holiday or the weekend prior?) but I am sure that matters.If you can buy tickets in advance and on sale, then this is the way to go. I would not pay door prices.

I moved to AZ three years ago and this will be our third time coming to Vertuccio! It's only $15 per person which is cheaper than most of the other Halloween activity farm areas. This year I noticed that they added more than the previous years! We went on a Thursday at 330pm and it was pretty packed. My son had an absolute blast as usual. I love that this place has activities for young and older kids. They have plenty of drink and food booths as well. Don't forget to grab some kettle corn too because it's bomb! We will probably be coming back in a few days to experience it at night at well since they have tons of lights.

It's become a tradition for us to visit farms near by during the fall and this place was on our radar for some time. Finally made it to the farm on the day after the rains. Luckily they were open but we were prepared for some mud. We went on a Sunday and it was crowded, had got the tickets online and that helped us lots of kids activities and it's definitely fun for them. Petting zoo, corn maze, pumpkin patch (couldn't visit due to wet conditions) games and much more. There were food trucks with hotdog, churros, nachos, fries, drinks. Everything was good and fun with fall vibe. We also got to take some free pumpkins home. Definitely a good place to spend your day.

Came to support LOVE PUP/ LOVE UP event and got to meet with one of the hosts of JohnJay and Rich Show. I enjoy this farm because is near my house, kids friendly and convenient. Looking forward to the Christmas event.
