A Note About Arizona Pumpkin Patch Locations
Arizona Pumpkin Patch currently operates 12 seasonal lots in Chandler, Chandler Heights, Gilbert, Glendale, Queen Creek, Marana, Tucson and Sierra Vista.
These are different from the big farm festivals — and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. Admission is FREE, leashed dogs are welcome and you only pay for the pumpkins and supplies you take home. There aren’t corn mazes, carnival rides or haunted houses. They’re easy spots to let the kids choose a pumpkin, grab a few fall pictures and head home.
Before You Go
Pumpkins are crops, weather happens and fall schedules can change. Always check the pumpkin patch’s website before making the drive, especially if you’re traveling outside your area. Some farms require admission even if you’re primarily visiting for pumpkins, while others let you shop the pumpkin area without buying festival admission.
