Fall is here, and the pumpkin patches are open! Whether you want pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns or pie, you can pick your own at pumpkin patches across San Diego County. Once you find the perfect one, stick around for hayrides, mazes, costume contests and more. Check out some of our favorite places to pick pumpkins and celebrate the season.
Visit the century-old farm's pumpkin patch, hop on a hayride and dress up for a costume contest. On Oct. 10, 17 and 24, stop by for Fall Festival Fridays with live music and food. Fall activities run from September through October.
Strawberry season might be over, but it's a great time to pick your own pumpkins. Explore a corn maze, take a tractor ride and visit the petting zoo for a day of fall fun. If you're feeling brave, come back for the haunted corn maze on Fridays and Saturdays.
