4. Pumpkin Nights at Pioneer Farms
Ok, so this isn’t technically a pumpkin patch because there aren’t pumpkins for sale. However, it IS a fun, family-friendly event completely focused on pumpkins. There is a half-mile walking trail illuminated with over 7,500 pumpkins (real & artificial), with themed lands such as the Forbidden City, Pirate’s Cove, and more.
Have you ever seen a giant pumpkin transformed into a sea turtle right before your eyes? Talk about some serious pumpkin carving inspiration! Don’t miss the pumpkin carvers working their magic.
There is also a fire show, food trucks, plenty of great photo ops, and face painting on the main lawn.
The highlight of Pumpkin Nights is the walking trail that takes you on a journey through magical lands like pumpkin villages for gnomes and The Great Hall at Hogwarts.
The lands are created using over 5,000 jack-o-lanterns (both real and artificial). Kids of all ages will enjoy this trail – there is nothing scary to worry about. The village is open September 18 – October 31, 2025 from 6pm to 11pm nightly.
Tickets must be purchased online for a timed entry, but you are able to stay as long as you like. We recommend showing up before dark to enjoy the food and pumpkin carving and then heading out on the trail once it is dark.
