The Best Pumpkin Patches in the San Francisco Bay Area 2026
Updated on October 6, 2026 to reflect all of the current details.
It’s that time of year again and we couldn’t be more excited to go in search of the perfect pumpkins for our Halloween. The pumpkin patches in the Bay Area aren’t just a place to get a pumpkin. You could do that at Trader Joes or Safeway. These pumpkin patches are filled with all kinds of fun things to do for Halloween. I just took my 2 year old to Spina Farms last week and the place is pretty wild. They have train rides, massive inflatables, train rides, hay rides a corn maze and a ton of amazing food stations. And this is just one of the many pumpkin patches all over the Bay Area.
Pumpkin patches have become an amazing addition to Halloween activities for young kids and adults. Between haunted houses, escape rooms, pumpkin patches, picking out a costume, decorating your house, going trick or treating and going to Halloween events, October is a month full of things to do.
And if you excited to go to pumpkin patches, you may be overwhelmed by the number in the area. You could go to a different pumpkin patch almost every single day in October.
Here are our top picks for Bay Area pumpkin patches and some more Fall fun!
