About
Connor's Visit (2026): "There's just so much you can do there. It's crazy." We went on Sunday, September 27, the first weekend, and it wasn't too crowded. We caught the pig races (a bell, two heats and a lot of bad dad jokes), watched kids and, embarrassingly, parents rush the Candy Cannon, and hung out with the goats, piglets, ducks and the rest of the barnyard.

📍 Local Insights
🍬 Candy Cannon: The best few seconds of the day. Candy showers down and the kids (and a few very intense parents) rush it. It's quick, so be there when it fires.
🐖 Pig races: Heats for the potbellies, the other pigs and then everybody, with a handler ringing a bell behind them. Check the live shows schedule so you don't miss it.
🎟️ Season pass math: $55.95 vs. $27.95 a visit. Going more than twice before November 1? Get the pass.

"Lone Creek Farms enjoys high praise for its extensive range of family-friendly activities, clean facilities, and exceptionally friendly staff. Visitors appreciate the value with many fun attractions included in admission and a focus on creating a memorable fall experience. A few note parking congestion and occasional staff brusqueness at certain activities, but overall it is regarded as a top pumpkin patch in Colorado."
