Visiting a pumpkin patch is a great family outing for fall.
You get to pick up nicer orange gourds than you’d find at the supermarket, get started on your Halloween fun, and spend a fall day in a lovely corner of the countryside. The weather may be rainy and damp or sunny and crisp, but the scenery will be gorgeous. And almost all pumpkin patches offer more than just pumpkins. Mud, for starters!
Some pumpkin patches are slow-paced, with plenty of time and space to gaze at the scenery. Others have fairground atmospheres complete with rides, raucous activities, and entry fees.
Some pumpkin patches, particularly the ones close to the city, sell out yearly, so don’t wait too long to get out there.
Tips:
- Don’t bring pets.
- Some places run out of pumpkins as Halloween gets closer, so call ahead.
- Dress for mud.
- Many farms have beautiful pumpkin displays that make perfect backdrops for portraits of your family or kids. Take your pictures BEFORE you go out in the field.
