5 Popular Pumpkin Patches-Harvest Festivals-HayRides-Corn Mazes

FALL PARENT RESOURCE GUIDE

By Macaroni KID Gig Harbor - Belfair - Shelton & More October 2, 2024

Wondering where to take your kiddos for the pumpkin patches, corn mazes and more? Since you don't want to miss out on that tradition, Macaroni Kid has compiled a list of local pumpkin-picking places! (Say that three times fast!) Get ready for some great pumpkin pickin'! 

Things to remember when going to a pumpkin patch: 

  • Wear clothes that can get dirty. Boots are also a good idea. 
  • Pick your pumpkin up by the bottom. Too many good pumpkins have met a tragic ending from a stem breaking. Look for a pumpkin that is firm and with the stem intact. 
  • Avoid pumpkins with dark spots or feel soft. 
  • Bring your camera and HAVE FUN.

Here's your guide to local pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hayrides and more!
