Citrouilleville is described as a lively, family friendly autumn destination with a huge pumpkin selection, creative decorations, themed sections for photos, and lots of kid friendly activities like train rides, inflatables, and harvest demonstrations. It is generally praised for being well organized and easy to buy tickets in advance, making a fall day outdoors enjoyable for families, and dogs are welcome. The overall sentiment is positive, with many finding it Instagram worthy and a pleasant tradition to return to each year. However, crowds are repeatedly mentioned as a downside, even with timed tickets, along with long lines and some feeling it is overpriced or overly commercial, with activities beyond the main attractions being limited. Still, the consensus is that a visit is worthwhile for a memorable, fun family outing, especially for photo moments and fall atmosphere, provided planning and patience are part of the plan.
It's a very nice place, don't get me wrong. But it's WAY over crowded & overpriced for what it really is. Besides the inflatables & a few little activities there just isn't much to do. It gets boring. There's line ups wherever you go. What's the point of having tickets with time if you can stay the whole day. It's just not organized enough.
It's a beautiful place, & not just for the kids. The whole family will have a good time. Make sure you wear comfy shoes cause you'll be walking. There's tons of stuff to do, we couldn't do it all in one trip!
Super fun place during Halloween. Forgot to put this review when we were there. There is a lot of parking so no worry, but do try to buy the tickets in advanced otherwise you'll need to wait in line. The cart is $10 fee plus you need to give your driver license (they will return it back to you once you return the cart). But it is super worth it especially if you have a dog (THEYRE PET FRIENDLY TOO). You can pick up any pumpkin on the ground & bring it home. There is food, entertainment & drinks for all ages & there is a small market at the exit.
Super belle endroits à voir avec les enfants. Nous avons été le premier & dernier Samedi. Plusieurs activités à faire (labyrinthes, pièce de théâtre, les animaux, les jeux gonflables, peinture, jeux pour gagner des toutous). Food trucks, piscine à maïs, des citrouilles partout, super beau paysage pour plusieurs photo. J'ai été avec mes enfants de 2 & 6 ans. Seule chose que je trouvais moins bien est qu'il devrait y avoir au moins un petit jeux gonflables réservé au plus jeunes (3 ans & moins) & je sais pas si il en avait un mais, serai bien avoir un coin pour allaitement / changement de couche.

Citrouilleville is the perfect place for Autumn fun. We went the first weekend of October. The grounds were covered in pumpkins that you could pick up & take with you to purchase on your way out, as well as different buildings covered in real pumpkins! There were actors walking around interacting with guests, lots of delicious snack options, a giant box filled with dried corn (way better than a sandbox!), & a real corn maze. A lot of the employees are actually student volunteers, which is why they're only open on weekends during their season (the month of October, basically). You can really tell the people there enjoy working at Citrouilleville. It's also super affordable. I am definitely going back next year! The one downside was the petting zoo, which is why it's a four star & not five star experience. It's one thing to look at or feed animals through a fence, but to allow children to enter the cage area & then chase the birds.. that really bothered me. No employee supervision, either. There's no reason to cause animals that much stress. Keep the humans separate from them, it's pretty simple. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Citrouilleville est l'endroit idéal pour s'amuser en automne. Nous y sommes allés le premier week-end d'octobre. Le terrain était couvert de citrouilles que vous pouviez ramasser & emporter avec vous pour les acheter en sortant, ainsi que différents bâtiments recouverts de vraies citrouilles! Il y avait des acteurs qui se promenaient pour interagir avec les gens, de nombreuses options de collations délicieuses, une boîte géante remplie de maïs séché (bien mieux qu'un bac à sable !) & un vrai labyrinthe de maïs. Beaucoup de leurs employés sont des étudiants bénévoles, c'est pourquoi ils ne sont ouverts que les fin de semaines pendant leur saison (le mois d'octobre). Ils ont l'air de vraiment aimer travailler à Citrouilleville. C'est aussi très abordable. J'y retournerai certainement l'année prochaine ! Le seul problème était le zoo pour enfants, c'est pourquoi c'est une expérience quatre étoiles & non cinq étoiles. C'est une chose de regarder ou de nourrir les animaux à travers une clôture, mais de permettre aux enfants d'entrer dans la zone des cages & de chasser les oiseaux... ça m'a vraiment dérangé. Pas de surveillance des employés non plus. Il n'y a aucune raison de causer autant de stress aux animaux. Gardez les humains séparés d'eux, c'est assez simple.
Great place to bring the kids & family oriented activity... & affordable too. Various Inflatables for them to enjoy, mini train ride, huge trampolinefor the kids to jump on together, great place overall for adults to enjoy as well as it's child friendly & many activities to keep them entertained & busy. Will be going back again next year for sure.
