This location is part of Thies Farm and Greenhouses which is with the North Hanley location (the Maryland Heights location is the Thies Farm and Market and is a separate entity). New for 2019 they opened Pumpkinland. It's much smaller than the other 2 locations but costs less at $4 per child vs. $6.75. Included in this is a really cute mini golf area, the straw play area, and a corn maze. They also have a miniature train layout in the greenhouse.
This is not a true pumpkin patch but you can get pumpkins here and have some fall fun.

I think this place is best suited for toddlers, I don't think there's enough here to keep big kids entertained.
