It wouldn't feel like Fall without a trip to the pumpkin patch. There are so many fantastic ones through the Bay Area and I wanted to share them with you. I've created this guide featuring 30+ family friendly pumpkin patches across all of the Bay Area, so you can find the one that's right for your family.
Find a pumpkin patch near you:
This list contains a wide range of pumpkin patches- from the expensive ones with many attractions and rides, to the more traditional farms with fewer attractions but free admission. I hope you find the list helpful. Have fun on your pumpkin patch adventures this season!
