At each of these destinations, you'll find tons of pumpkins ready to be picked, baked into the best pumpkin cookies, carved (or painted!) for Halloween, or displayed proudly on your front porch. But that's just half of the experience at most of our top picks. Included in your pumpkin-filled excursion are autumn treats, intricate corn mazes, and numerous other festive activities in which to partake. There are even a few tug-of-war competitions to be had out there.
Not interested in taking any pumpkins home with you? There are still plenty of reasons to add a pumpkin patch visit to your autumn bucket list this year—and sometimes, the drive alone is worth the trip. You'll also find fun kids' fairs, best Halloween festivals, cider tastings, and other wonderful attractions at these farms and orchards that'll delight your children and you.
