We’re a small family farm, and your reviews on Google help other Bakersfield families find us. Tell us about your visit, what you loved, and what we can do better. It only takes a minute.
Cherry Acres is family-run, from planting the sunflowers to cutting the corn maze to handing out lettuce for the goats. We built this place so Bakersfield families have somewhere safe, clean and fun to make memories together.
