Such a great place to visit! The hayride was an absolute blast, and you get a pumpkin during the trip!!!! The corn maze was fun and challenging for the kiddos. The apple fritters are to die for. I mean, so so yummy!!!

Fun, friendly inexpensive family activities. Would have preferred both tractors used for the hayrides to have hay not just one. Defeated the purpose of being on a "hayride" Overall, we had a good time.

Nice animals. Really outdated. No hayride, no apple picking, no pumpkin picking. There were no apple pies. Front staff was not inviting. Really unfortunate won’t be back.

Probably due to Covid protocols, but I remember this place having much more to do for the kids. You could look at the animals, but no feeding or even getting close. Also, their stock was almost non-existent. They had maybe a dozen pumpkins, and not much else. The ice cream was good. We also picked up some farm fresh eggs. So not a total waste, but a few years ago we went here and they had a bounce house, tractors for the kids to climb on, and other activities for the kids to do.

It looked beautiful but the times are confusing. The website and a local ad say that it is open 12-6 on Fridays in October. We arrived at 4:30 on Friday, October 2nd and no one was there. We called and they just have an automated phone. Hopefully we get a call back to find out the actual times they are open because we'd love to check it out!

Update: We went on a Saturday and it was open! The setting is beautiful! The fritters were a little too greasy for me. My son loved getting on all of the tractors and going on the hayride! There was no petting zoo but there were some chicks to hold.

Best apple fritters I have ever had!! Like eating a sugar cinnamon cloud. Delicious! Great place for kids. Look at the goats and emu. Hold baby chicks and get a pumpkin. Hay rides and kiddy corn maze. We went for the corn maze but were a bit disappointed at its size. Short stalks and one path. Great for little little kids though.

Horrible! Booked a birthday party here in August for October and apparently they were never planning on opening for the Fall season yet their website states Fall dates and you were able to reserve a party spot. They even accepted and took a payment! After multiple emails and phone calls I finally got through to them via email and they sent me one email back stating I should have received a call about our party and how they were not opening this Fall. Luckily I contacted them because I had questions or I never would have known and would have showed up with our daughter for her birthday party. They never apologized or even took responsibility for their poor business practice. Will NEVER go here or recommend them to anyone. Now, I’m a month out stuck trying to find a birthday location for our daughter.

Went to Riverview Farms on Saturday Oct 10th and family was super excited to go for the 1st time. Will never go again. "Corn maze"? It was a weed maze that wasn't even 3 feet high. Literally weeds, not corn. Have pictures if interested. Was told there was a petting zoo and ice cream. Ice cream was not open and the "petting zoo" is down the street at cider mill and was told if you purchased the family pack you got the petting zoo. Nope. Throw in the fact that the staff (especially the girls in the store) were completely horrible at customer service, and this is a place I'm not interested in returning to.
