Pumpkinville in Mitchellville
Has anyone been there? Is it worth the drive?
Thanks!
Re: Pumpkinville in Mitchellville
It's nice because it's free but I wouldn't take my nieces and nephews there. It was kind of run down and looked like a big garage sale- a big yard full of used, dirty outdoor kids toys.
If you're looking for free- the Wills Family Orchard is a great option.

If you're looking for alot of activities for little ones then the one at Cetner Grove is a great option.
Ditto...Pumpkinville isn't all that nice. I wasn't impressed! I think spending the money at Howell's or Center Grove is worth it. We may have to check out the Wills one too!
Huh, I thought that you went out there the same day that we did....
Ditto to the fact that it was run down but we had a GREAT time in the Corn Maze. We took M into the big one, not the kiddie one and she had a blast running around. We did a Sunday afternoon several weeks back and there were only 4-5 other cars there, it was great! The pumpkin prices, like pp mentioned were cheap.
We did also do Howell's on a Sunday and it. was. packed. too busy for us. We also didn't like that fact that the tractor rides dumped you off in the pumpkin patch and you had to walk forever to find one that wasn't rotten, smashed, etc. We ended up just getting a couple out of the wagons cuz I had $ left from the groupon. I did shoot the corn gun and was a pretty awesome shot, if I do say so myself. lol. We'd pry not go back to Howell's and would go back to Mitchellville.
