When I first moved to Arizona, I lived less than a mile away from this place, so as you can imagine, I've driven by it thousands of times. Seven years later, I finally made my way down the driveway to check it out, and I'm glad I did!\n\nI went to meet some friends at their pumpkin patch. Since it's unseasonably hot lately, and we all have young babies, we decided to meet first thing in the morning (at 9am, when they first open). Smart move... even then it was pretty hot outside! Luckily, MacDonald's Ranch has cold refreshments such as snoballs which we all enjoyed. (Thanks Jake B for treating!)\n\nUnfortunately though, none of us knew that the actual pumpkin patch was a hayride away, and none of us felt comfortable bringing our newborns on the hayride, even with the car seats in tow. So, we did make it to the ranch but left empty handed. I guess I'll have to purchase my pumpkin elsewhere this season. That said, MacDonad's Ranch does offer a ton of other fun activities including a petting zoo, pony rides, music, etc. They host all kinds of events too, such as birthday parties, weddings, and corporate events.\n\nOnce Baby M is a bit older, I will definitely return to MacDonald's Ranch, but I don't think I got my $8 worth (the cost of entry) this time around. Oh well... Happy Halloween all!
