Brought my grandson here. Had not been here in several years. Now i remember why. Disappointed that this is a cashless place. They will take cash but can’t make change. Although they can make change when you buy a wrist band. This is so stupid. Thankfully I brought my card but had not intended to use it. So annoying and inconvenient for me and my plan. Don’t recall seeing it mentioned online either. I also didn’t want to pay $20 to go sit. my grandson is old enough to go on his own. I found out much later that Senior citizens are only $10. There seems to be a lack of training these kids as the attendant did not offer the sr citizens discount. Maybe I should be flattered. It’s a pretty place but the only real food seemed to be inside the activity center. As many people that come here I feel that there isn’t much here for someone who doesn’t hang out in the activity area. The pumpkin bars are a box mix and so is their chocolate cake. it was dry and disappointing. I can go to a free pumpkin farm and get better dounuts. Don’t plan to come back.

I took my 3rd grade class on a field trip to Rader's Farm this past week and was very disappointed in their customer service. Through the website, I scheduled the trip for 11 students. I ordered 11 students' admission, 11 pumpkins, and a case of water. The total cost came to $153. When I went there to pick up the wristbands and pay for the field trip, the lady told me that she was too busy and couldn't help me. She told me to come back. I asked her when would be a good time for me to come back. She couldn't tell me. She was very frustrated and overwhelmed, but then finally agreed to help me. Then, she continued to tell me that I was short money and that they had a minimum amount of $189. She said that Amy -who I believe is the owner - would have to help me. She said that she would just take the money and write up something so that it would reflect the amount of $153. She calculated 11 pumpkins at $3 each and 12 student admission at $10 each which totaled $153. I told her that I had 11 students' admission, 11 pumpkins and 1 case of water (which they charge $10) totaling $153. Therefore, the total was correct, but what she was charging me for was wrong. She said Amy would take care of it. Also, she couldn't give me the wristbands because she didn't have them. On the day of the field trip, Amy was there and said that I paid for exactly what the receipt had said. So, I told her that I only had 11 kids and was supposed to have a case of water for the kids, but she said no that I didn't pay for it, and that she was already waiving the extra $30. She also said that I could pay an extra $10 for the water if I wanted it. I was frustrated, but I didn't want to argue with her because I had kids and their parents with me, so I told her that I would pay another $10 for the water, but they ignored that and wouldn't take the money. Then they told me to move over and put the wristbands on the kids, then make my way to the back of the field. So, we never received the water, and I was treated poorly. In my opinion, if there is a minimum payment, then the website should flag it and send a message before the scheduling is complete. I also want to add that I received a confirmation email a couple of days before the field trip and it didn't say anything about owing extra money nor a minimum amount. This is very disappointing! I can't believe that they wouldn't give us a case of water for the students. I only have 11. They seemed to only care about the money and not the kids!! Needless to say, I will never go back to Rader's Farm for any reason! They have completely lost my business!

We spent about 4 hours here on a Sunday, it was busy but not overly crowded. LOVE their barn shop, so many cute things! Great snacks here too! Lots of activities included in admission, apple cannons is extra but was $20 for 55 apples which took about 10-15 mins and was a fun experience with our 8 year old. A few nice photo opportunities around the place too. Will definitely visit again!

Adorable family friendly environment with lots of photo opportunities for you and your family and friends. Do not miss their sunflower season! $10 a person and you can purchase a $25 bucket and pick your own sunflowers to take home.

2 yr olds and under are always free but all ages above are regularly $8. This year and last, Wednesday’s have been half price admission. I’ve heard that weekends are overwhelmingly busy, so I avoid them. But they do have one of the best outdoor kid play areas in Central Illinois! Our kids love the giant corn bins, Barrel train, and water pump duck races. Pro tip: buy your kids the pumpkin apple cider cup once and bring it back for cheaper refils
