Downsized its Farm. Hardly NO Pumpkins! Wagons are falling apart. Kids were crying because the pumpkins that were there were smashed. Not a good experience.
Will NOT return.

I've gone here since I was very little, and didn't get to go for the last few years except this one. I just went there today and was very disappointed. The staff is no longer enjoying their job. We paid 10 dollars to get in which is completely ridiculous… and that included a hayride, corn maze, hay barn, a "petting zoo" that consisted of 4 goats, two chickens, and rabbits that we didn't even see bc they were in a locked hutch. So we couldn't pet anything. The hayride was also ridiculous, we got on and then went out to the patch where it was like looking for a pumpkin in a overgrown prairie. The field was very over picked and we were told to stay in one area that literally had nothing. Then to top things off the man driving the tractor hurried us to get back on and told us to hurry up and find a pumpkin. Not joking you. We got back on with our tiny half green pumpkins that were 4 dollars extra! So if you want a hayride and a pumpkin it's $14!!! We never heard a thank you or have a nice day when we got off of the hayride that was cut shorter than the other tractors. Very unsatisfied with this farm now. The only reason I gave two stars is bc the doughnuts were pretty good and the people in the cafe were nice. That is it, don't come here and waste money… I hate to see the farm going down the drain like this because I know how great this place used to be.

Great place to go for families. Go early on Saturday and have pumpkin donuts and coffee. Great pumpkins, corn maze and other events

Nice local farm. Very friendly staff. Picked up some fresh tomatoes, green beans, red potatoes, and corn. They also had fresh donuts and baked breads; zucchini, pumpkin, and banana nut. Plenty of jams, preserves, and canned veggies as well.

Not sure how I feel about this place. What I do know is that the entrance fee is high considering how small and limited this place is on activities. My sister and I used to come here as a kid and we wanted to bring my niece and nephew out and it was just sad. We didn't stay longer than an hour because of the weather, I don't want to be too harsh on this place because we didn't really spend a lot of time there but also there wasn't anything there that made us want to stay. We left feeling underwhelmed.

We have been here twice this year… didn't have the greatest experience the 1st time but my daughters school was going to we decided to give it another try. BIG MISTAKE. The older lady at the booth to pay was THE RUDEST both times, also so slow and has no clue what going on. The place is run down and gross.

I can never really decide how I feel about Circle S, but my kids love the giant hay barn so we come back pretty much every year. I feel like the prices are pretty high in comparison to other pumpkin farms, but there is a lot to do here. Hay ride, corn maze, sunflower maze, and a little hay bale "maze" for little kids. There's a petting zoo but that's an overly generous term for a few goats in a pen, a rabbit, and some chickens. Maybe if you're lucky the goats will stand close enough to the fence for you to pet them. The sunflowers are kinda sad this year, but in past years they've been so pretty. Is it worth $10 entrance plus $4 if you want to pick a pumpkin? Sure, if you let your kids run wild for a few hours I can absolutely see the worth in that.
They have specialty pumpkins by their store, there's a lot to pick from and they're very pretty but I'm pretty sure I've seen similar types much cheaper elsewhere. The store is cute, it's small and basic. Lots of jams and mixes, apple cider and stuff. The donuts are really good here, it's probably my favorite part and makes the ~40 minute drive from Worthington worth it. The apple cider glazed and maple glazed are my favorites. Apple cider is good too, but I wish you got a bigger cup for what you pay. They also serve hot food, like hot dogs and stuff. I didn't get a close look at that menu but it did smell pretty good.

Drove 45 minutes to get to this farm with my little tiny beautiful dog and they were so rude they would not let us pick s pumpkin. who ever heard of a farm that would not allow a dog are you kidding do you not waste your time there are so many other farms that are really nice I found out because I've called them since I got here and I can't come in and I think you can do a lot better somewhere else

Went this morning to buy 8 bales of dry straw for feral cat bedding. The farm was crawling with young children. Decorations, donuts, coffee, all sorts of fun things for the kids. Despite being really busy with the seasonal attraction, 3 people of Circle S helped me to get my straw. All 3 were super pleasant and helpful and the market is charming and spotless.

This place is pretty terrible, a few years ago it was actually enjoyable but it has gone downhill since then. They advertise you pick strawberries, however you can never pick them and when you do they're about the size of a dime and they have the audacity to charge you $4.75 for a quart. The berries that they have already picked for you are spoiled. Don't waste your time, there are better places to go, I won't come back again.

We drove 40 miles to do the corn maze. It was a waste of time & money. All they did was mow down the corn in a snake pattern back and forth back to the front. There were corn stalks and cobs of corn all over the walkway. You had to keep looking down so you didn't brake an ankle. Needless to say we were VERY disappointed. We have been to several corn mazes and this ranks the lowest by far.

I haven't been here in years… last time we went, my bro-in-law was stung by a bee (horrible).
They don't give out free donuts and apple juice anymore… the decorations are minimal and its a lil boring for the older kids. Parking is ample and you get to pick your own pumpkin which is nice.

Well its Fall so its pumkin patch time and schools make it mandatory to plan this trip. So I journeyed with my son to this magical place and with excitement i can't wait. The crisp cool air the bees buzzing, the smell of leaves. Fall was dancing all around this place and I loved it. The location has some cheesy posters kids can take picture with. The major attractions are the hay maze hay barn and the tractor ride. I love watching kids slide down the hay barn at warp speed into a bundle of hay. Then theres the bumpy tractor ride. The tractor pushes you back and forth and the sound of the mud squishes under the tires. I love the huge pumpkin patch. Pumpkins ad far as the dye can see. So many variety of pumpkins as well. I loved this place BUT NOT THE MEAN LADY IN THE STORE. She was the worst. I thought she was in a witch costume but NO she is just mean. In fact some people left without buying food because of her! And that is why no 5 stars. Smh but could have got them if it was for her!

There are several things sub-par about this farm as a "fall attraction" (including the higher than standard prices, less than impressive activities and general ill-maintenance) but I'd like to save the bulk of my review for one particularly unpleasant interaction with a staff member.
After waiting a significant amount of time in line for the "hayride" to get to the pumpkin patch, which you can literally see from the line a couple hundred yards away, we chose our small, separately priced $4 pumpkins and began the wait for another wagon to come and pick us up to deposit us in the parking lot. Three year olds are not famous for their patience and mine is no exception, so I considered it no small blessing when my boyfriend found a lone, dead corn stalk with some tiny malformed ears of corn on the bottom for her to peel and play with. She was so excited and wanted to take the pathetic things home (she collects acorns, nuts and seeds like your average toddler) so she carried them with her onto the wagon.
When the gentleman (and I use this term loosely) who drives the tractor came over to close up the gate, he stutteringly told my THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER that she couldn't take the corn and promptly threw it on the ground under the wagon. Fortunately, my daughter did not throw a screaming fit, but rather went into what appeared to be a coma-like state of disappointment. I don't see any reason why this man would need to take these gnarled baby corn cobs from a child…do they sell them in the gift shop? Were these malformed cobs some kind of propriety breed? I and the patrons who witnessed the interaction were appalled at this man's behavior, and as a result, I will not be returning to Circle S Farms, or recommending it to any of my friends looking for a family-friendly pumpkin patch.
I gave it a generous two stars only because my daughter is easily impressed by large amounts of straw.

We had a wonderful time at Circle S Farm! We went with a group during the week and made a reservation so it was only $7 which includes everything plus a donut, Apple juice, and a pumpkin from the field. The kids loved the haybarn and scarecrow cave and petting the goats and bunnies. This is a great place to go with little one 1-5 years old.

Advertises "Apple cider and donuts"…serves donuts with expired little cartons of apple juice. I notified the staff that all of the apple juices were expired, and she didn't seem to care. Some of the other staff members were more friendly, but I was very disappointed by that interaction. The fun barn is just two slides, the rest is straw. Petting zoo consisted of a few goats and a rabbit. My kids did have fun, but there are other places with way more to offer. I would not go back.

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.

Disappointed! The lines are absolutely ridiculous. They move so slow, they need to be more efficient. We waited around 2 hours in line for everything we did. That's absurd!

Overpriced. Long lines. Donut and cider included. They gave us a cup of apple juice and the donuts had no flavor. The pumpkins in the pumpkin patch were small or smashed. This place is a ripoff. I went there a few years ago and it was great. I don't know what happened.

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.

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.

Unfortunate. We've been coming here for many, many years but this could be the last. Prepare to spend more than half of your day waiting in lines. After an extended wait for the hayride to the pumpkins, we waited again for a ride back. Eventually we gave up and walked back carrying our pumpkins. The tractor still hadn't made it back around by the time we were to the car. Were it not for nostalgia I'm confident I'd choose a different option next time.

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.

Worst place I've ever been to. The place is run down broken, bees will immediately swarm you once you get there the pictures online are fake and not what the place really looks like.
I always take my cousins to the pumpkin patch every year and we try different ones. When we got there we went for the petting zoo yeah right you can't touching of the animals or feed them.
Once we realized that we weren't going to have any fun here I immediately started looking for other pumpkin patches around the area. We then went to the entrance and ask politely for a refund saying that it wasn't their fault we just didn't find what we thought was here and would please like our money back we were only there for less than 20 minutes and we did none of the activities just looked around and did not want to be there! We met the owner and again explain that we just didn't want to be there it didn't have what we are looking for and we would like our money back she then proceeded to tell me that she does not give out refunds that if she does it for us she will have to do it for all which clearly tells me that people ask all the time. Then she continued to say that she has 80-year-old people come here and have a ton of fun while in my group I have myself and 2 13-year-olds and an 8-year-old and we were not having fun she also said that if I were to go to Kings Island I wouldn't ask for a refund so why do I get to ask for one here! First of all they are two completely different places and if something was going wrong at Kings Island and I did not want to be there I would would ask for a refund and they would give it to me. So she did not give us a refund and continue trying to keep us they're saying that the pumpkins were big today and I promise you if you stay you'll have fun. No so we decided to leave and went to Leeds Farm which is an amazing place I've never seen a pumpkin patch field was so much to do the petting zoo was amazing we fed the goats saw baby pigs two donkeys we had the time of our lives and so much fun I wish we had gone there first so we could've spent the entire day they're doing everything over and over again. I would pick Leeds farm every time over Circle S Farms!

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.
