Visiting a farm in search of the perfect pumpkin is one of the best things about fall (along with pumpkin lattes, of course). Add in corn mazes, farm animals and other family-friendly attractions and you've got the makings of an excellent autumn adventure.

Check out this list below to find a farm near you. Remember to bring cash and a reusable bag for purchases, but in most cases you'll need to leave the pets at home. Some farms charge admission or attraction fees, while others are free to visit. Be sure to call ahead – some are open daily, while others offer scaled-back weekday operations or are open on weekends only.
