Valley pumpkin patch activites for the entire family

One of the most advantageous aspects of this season is the increased time one gets to spend with their family. With so many local pumpkin patches in the fall season, it is an optimal opportunity to bond with your kids outside of the house in the cool fall weather.

Some of the valley’s pumpkin patches feature kids activities such as the Charming Pony Ranch where your family can enjoy a straw maze, horse-drawn hay rides, wagon rides, bounce houses and a petting zoo.
