Lake View Farms

We purchased a groupon and went through the corn maze today, which came with two popcorns and two drinks, super fun! After we decided to get a couple pumpkins. The tickets to get pumpkins are 4 $ each and come with $ 1 off pumpkin coupons. The tickets get you a ride on the train there, which is a real train! And also a ride on the boat back across the lake! Very unique for us, every year we’ve always gone to Bella organic at sauvies island but stopped going after last year when the staff weren’t as friendly. Definitely will be coming back to lake view next year!

Good place for Pumpkin Patch. The farm features two transportation to pumpkin patch: train ride & boat ride across small lake with pirates and a shark. The train ride has 2 tunnels decorated with pumpkin theme. For kids, this place also has a hay maze, corn maze, pony rides, and barrel rides. The corn maze is, or feels, massive! The pumpkins are great with several varieties to choose from. The grounds are clean and the staff is also great.

This is one of the best Pumpkin Patch place for family outing. It us reasonably priced and there are lots of fun activities for the kiddos. This is our second time here and we’ll be back for sure.

Purchased a Groupon for $ 16 which included admission for four to the corn maze and a popcorn and drink. We wanted to do the boat ride to the pumpkin patch so it was an additional $ 4/​person. Arrived at the pumpkin patch and paid an additional $ 6/​person for pony rides. We actually had been told by the gal selling tickets that that was where the corn maze was but turned out it was back on the other end of the farm so we jumped on the train to get back to our original spot. Finally found the corn maze and entered it with our 4 and 6 year old– this is not your typical goofy corn maze– we actually spent the next 40 minutes trying to find our way out. It is huge! Covered in dust with whiny exhausted children we eventually went off the path bushwhacking into the corn when we finally figured out we had to be close to the exit and pushed our way out of the maze.
Would I return? Probably not. It was a 45 minute drive and wasn’t that different from every other pumpkin farm. The one in Wilsonville remains our personal favorite.

One word. Clean. And I can totally respect an outdoor event that is kept tidy.
We came for the CORN MAZE activity found on GROUPON.
More creativity effort could have been put towards the CORN MAZE in its entirety, but for a mom and pop operation, its nice. Great for kids as they seemed to have enjoyed the place. Nice plus that they had their own concession stand with the standard outdoor snacks.
Would I do it again? Probably not and would venture for more «actioned» halloween activity.

We have been going to Lake View for over 10 years. It is simply the best! The farm features a train to the pumpkin patch, a boat ride across a small lake with pirates and a shark, a gift store, hay maze, pony rides, barrel rides and the best Kettle corn! The kids have a blast, the pumpkins are great with several varieties to choose from. The grounds are clean and the staff is great.

I’m sure this place is great if you have kids, I do not, but opted to join my family in law for my infant nephews first trip to a pumpkin patch. It was packed. There were tons of bees. There were lines. So many people. The place we usually go has great food. This farm was selling grocery store doughnuts and other packaged foods. I did grab a few unique pumpkins. Overall it was fine, but I will not go again.

We had a great time getting our pumpkins here! I love the two different modes of transport to the pumpkin patch and the views we got from the pumpkin patch were amazing. it was a clear enough day we could see Mt Hood! Of course there were lines everywhere but I can understand why, this is a great pumpkin patch!

Lake View is one of our family’s most favorite locations to visit in the fall.
Pumpkins are always ample in selection. They have pumpkins already detached from the vine in a field and they also have a bunch still sitting in the vines back a little further if you really what a more authentic pumpkin patch experience.
For the kids, this place is very entertaining. There is a boat ride to the patch complete with a sea monster and shark that pop out of the water to give the kids a little thrill. There is also a train ride to the patch. On the weekends there are pony rides (that are priced way too high in my opinion!) Kettle corn sales, and a tractor «caterpillar» ride.
This place also has a hay maze and corn maze. The corn maze is, or feels, massive! It’s quite a trek getting through it. Bring your boots, a snack and some water if you plan on going in there.
There is also a cute little store with fall decorations and fun little trinkets. They also sell hay bales, corn stalks and wheat bundles.
While the staff is usually CRAZY busy, they have always been very nice. This is a great place to visit with children!

I love this place ! I will be a thousand years old and still love coming here every year for the whole pumpkin experience. I’m just not sure it will ever get old with the train and the boat and the maze… All that with prompt service even with the masses pouring thru it. Always very organized and friendly.

This is a great pumpkin patch. You start out by riding a small train out to the pumpkin patch, get your pumpkin and then ride back to the start on a panton boat.
I went there today with a group of adults that have development disabilites. Both the train and the boat are accessible. We paid $ 5 for adults, and we also got a $ 1 off any pumpkin.
They charge for the pumpkins by looking at the size, not by weight. By changing by size, you have an idea of what a pumpkin will cost you when you go out to the fields. Today they had pumpkins still growing in the fields or you could pick one out of a bunch on the ground. They had very small all the way up to really large pumpkins today that were trucked in.
There were pony rides offered for a price out by the pumpkin patch. You can bring a picnic or by food there.

PUMPKIN PATCH REVIEW
After 29 years in the area and having frequented just about every pumpkin patch in town, Lake View Farms is easily #1.
Why?
First of all, it has all the standard fare of PPs. Patch, petting zoo, other Fall harvests for sale, and a silly painted plywood tableau that you can put your head through and take a picture.
The above is the minimum requirements for PP legitimacy.
Ask yourself, «What’s the worst part of going to the PP?»
Answer: the long hike or lackluster hayride.
Lake View’s answer? A twofold solution.
Train Ride!
AND
Boat Ride!
Freaking amazing. You get to chose which way you want to travel to and from, Train out Boat back, Boat out Train back, or if you have an aversion to Water or Rail, you could double up… never tried it, but I’m sure if you brought a doctors note, they would accommodate.
Both rides offer kitch surprises, I won’t ruin the epic events of the boat ride, but it’s awesome. The train ride has a two tunnels that are decorated with different themes, nothing mind blowing but fun enough.
In summation, Lake View does everything right, has all the must-​haves, and really takes it to the next level on travel to and from the actual patch.
