This place looks really neat. My bean isn’t old enough to go there yet. If I did take her I can envision her running from hole to hole stealing everyone’s golf balls. I’m not planning a visit for a while with her, although my husband is dying to go- maybe I’ll take him instead.
Picture is from Roman T. from Yelp. Read his review.
The glow in the dark mini golf is by the Putting Edge company.

Underwood Family Farms. Is your child larger than a pumpkin? Probably larger than some but not larger than all. The farm is open all week long and entrance fees vary from $10 on the weekend in October to $3 on the weekdays. In addition, once you are inside you have to purchase tickets to ride, or play pretty much anything. However tickets are not too expensive, and of course, the more you buy the lower the per ticket price goes.
We started our day at Underwood Family Farms by going to the pig races. The pigs are the cute tiny little pink pigs that everyone loves. They are truly adorable, and you can hear them squeel from across the track. The track is only one lap with various obstacles. (You can even see flying pigs towards the end- yes folks pigs do jump).
After the pig races we went to the petting soon where you can see donkeys, peacocks, ducks, and bears. Okay i liked about the bears. There are no bears on the farm. The petting zoo was pretty cool, it wasn’t crowded at all and you could really see a bunch of different animals. One of the coolest things to see are the billy goats. The farm erected a series of high standing platforms and connected the platforms with planks for the goats to climb and walk on. Its great to see everyones surprise when they look up and there is a goat walking around above them.
The goats were a blast but we had to continue to the other attractions. We did the traditional inflatable bouncy room with the kids, and then did the corn maze. Of course the corn maze is a great attraction here and it looked like just about everyone went there at one point or another. The one thing i noticed about the corn maze was that it was a great idea, but when it comes to execution you find yourself thinking,”why did i come in here” once you were in there. It took us about 15 minutes to find out way out. Thankfully the farm was nice enough to place the exit very close to the objective of the maze.
Underwood Family Farms is a fun place to take your kid. They get to see a lot of things that you just don’t think of in Los Angeles. Check them out at Underwood Family Farms.
