What parents say
"We’ve visited Underwood Family Farms twice now, and each time has been an amazing experience for both kids and adults. The $14 ticket price per person is well worth it, and children over 2 years old require a ticket too. There’s so much to explore! Feeding the farm animals like goats and chickens is such a fun activity, and the kids absolutely loved the tractor rides and play zones. For adults, the scenery is stunning, providing a peaceful and relaxing backdrop to the day’s activities. One visit was during strawberry season, and the strawberry picking experience was unforgettable. The berrie"

"We visited Underwood Family Farms for their Christmas on the Farm event for the first time, and it certainly won’t be our last! Our two-year-old had an absolute blast. There were so many animals to see and fun, farm-themed activities for kids to enjoy. We were even treated to a stunning solar halo that gave our day a magical start. Highlights included the holiday train, electric tractors, baby goat experience, and sleigh rides. There’s such a variety of activities for little ones to choose from. Highly recommend this festive family outing!"

"Great pumpkin patch place. They do have playground for kids so they can have some fun when they still have energy until the end of the day. There are some foods and drinks vendors to choose from but no alcoholic drinks in the area. Prices are quite reasonable compared to live oak canton near the San Bernardino area. Some of the rides take more than 1 hour to get on. Tickets are about $1 for each token. For $80, you get 88 tokens or so....forgot the exact tickets. They do have free shows / events / rides that came with tickets. The only thing we don't like is that they closed early at 6 pm. Tic"
