Updated for 2017

Here’s your Great Big South Sound Pumpkin Patch List! I’ve got pumpkin patches and corn mazes in Kent, Auburn, Orting, Puyallup, Tacoma, Olympia, Port Orchard, and more!  The most important thing to remember? WEAR BOOTS!

PS While we strive for accuracy in all our round ups, we encourage you to use the provided links to confirm pricing and hours before heading out! 

 

Carpinito Brothers, Kent 

Carpinito’s has expanded their pumpkin patch to include a Farm Fun Yard, hayrides, produce stand, and concessions, as well as a maze (Just one this year). This is a great patch to hit up if you don’t want to drive too far out into the country. The patch is a fairly low key experience, and the maze isn’t scary, but it’s plenty big enough to get good and lost in (at least I did) Update-There have been some pricing changes here, and the play area is now 5.00 for 2+, including adults. The maze pricing has also gone up to 10.00 for adults and 7.00 for kids, for what sounds like just the hay maze. Thanks to readers for commenting with that correction.

Open: September 29-Halloween, Patch is open 9AM-6PM and the Farm Fun Yard is open from 9AM-6PM

Mosby Farm, Auburn

Mosby boasts that their farm is simple, family fun! They have an old-fashioned pumpkin patch featuring their locally grown gourds, and a fancy corn maze with a different theme every year. On the weekends, you can hitch a tractor pulled hay ride. Check their site for coupons and pricing.
Open: September 30-October 30, 10AM-Dusk

Pfaff’s Tree Farm, Auburn (Not updated for 2017 yet)

Note from SFM: The info below is from 2016 so it may be similar for 2017, it will be updated when the new info is released.

Pfaff’s if a Christmas tree farm, but this time of year, they also have pumpkins you can cut right off the vine! Corn stalks and other pumpkins available for sale. This is a nice choice if  you want a simple, “authentic,” patch experience without all the extras.  9-6 weekends and 12-6 weekdays

Thomasson Family Farm, Enumclaw

Thomasson is a super friendly, family owned farm. There is a Kids’ Korral area, pumpkin sling shot, corn pit, corn maze, and hay rides! This place is tons of fun for families with younger children-although I see laser tag, which should appeal to bigger kids! They have offered reduced admission via Groupon in the past-it’s worth checking. Otherwise, rates range from $5.00-20.00, depending on what you want to do, you can check out the packages on their website here. I believe the patch alone is free. Pumpkins are sold by a size chart. Parking is free. You’re asked to leave pets at home here.
Open: October 1-October 31, 9:30AM-5:30PM

Picha Farms, Puyallup

Nothing scary at this pumpkin patch that is great for littles! Activities include a pumpkin slingshot, a 7 acre corn maze, and a hayride  There is also a variety of items for sale, including lattes, apple cider, and kettle corn! This is a friendly, family run farm.
Open: October 1-October 31, Weekdays 3PM-6PM and Weekends 10AM-6PM (October 14th 10AM-6PM)

Spooner Farms, Puyallup

This is a favorite of SFM Facebook readers who love the farm animals and think it’s a good choice for younger children. Activities include the pumpkin patch, pumpkin sling shot, farm animals, face painting, candy store, corn maze and face painting. The maze and slingshot have different hours than the pumpkin patch and varied pricing so check out the flyer they’ve created here. Be sure to check the website too for the weekend only events and the tour page.
Open: September 30-October 30, Patch Open 9AM-6PM

Maris Farms, Buckley

If you missed the Puyallup Fair this year, you can always get a great fair like experience at Maris Farms. There is a huge kids’ area, including corn pit, playground, face painting, and more. Not to be missed are the live pig races! The bigger kids love the jumping pillow, monster truck ride, pumpkin slingshot and pedal carts. There’s a traditional corn maze and Haunted Woods. And, you can even pick a pumpkin here! This is a good choice for your hard-to-impress tweens and teens. If you have younger kids, go on a weekday. The weekday admission is quite a bit lower than the weekends, but some food vendors and actives are unavailable. You can check the prices here.
Open: September 30-October 31, Weekdays 1-6PM and Weekends 9:30AM-6PM

Filbert Acres 

Note from SFM: We’re working on checking whether they’ll have pumpkins this year. They do have locally  grown and fed pigs for sale and a CSA share.

Located on Pioneer between Puyallup and Tacoma, this is a small, family run farm with organic practices. Pumpkins that were grown on the vine right here!

Conservatory at Wright Park, Tacoma 

Are you looking for a nice, warm, indoor setting to get some pictures of your kids with pumpkins and fanciful mums?  You can pose your little one in front of the specially designed pumpkin arrangement without having to wait for strangers to walk out of the background or trying to coax a smile out of the freezing baby. Keep in mind pumpkins are not for sale, so you’ll have to hit up Freddy’s on your way home. There is a suggested donation of $3 for admission.
Open: October 17-November 1

Wild Hare Organic Farm, Tacoma (Not updated for 2017 yet)

Note from SFM: The info below is from 2016 so it may be similar for 2017, it will be updated when the new info is released.

Formerly Terry’s Berries, this organic farm sells organic pumpkins, squash, apples, vegetables, and local foods.

Scholz Farm, Orting Valley

An especially good choice for young children. There’s a tot sized corn maze, games for the preschool set, and animals to see. There is no extra charge for activities, and everything but your pumpkin and any other goodies you buy is free.  My family loves this patch, but it is very simple compared to others. Be sure to check out their Facebook page for updates.

Open: April 13-October 31, Daily 9AM-6PM

 Lattin’s Country Cider Mill and Farm, Olympia

No admission for just pumpkin picking or to visit the Farm Market. No pets at this one.

Patterson’s Farm Market, Gig Harbor (Not updated for 2017 yet)

Note from SFM: The info below is from 2016 so it may be similar for 2017, it will be updated when the new info is released.

Pattersons sort of creates their own patch. You won’t get a, “From the vine,” experience, and it isn’t huge, but it’s free fun, and there are tons of cute photo ops. It’s a nice choice if you just want a pumpkin and a pic.

Creek House Farm, Port Orchard

This small, family farm has an emphasis on sustainable practices. They raise organic, heirloom pumpkins. In the Fall, the farm is open for u-pick pumpkins, visiting the farm animals, autumn crafts, hay rides, and a pumpkin play area. Note: They will announce any changes or closure for the season on both their website and their Facebook here.
Open: Starting Friday September 29 Until the Pumpkins Sell Out; Fridays Noon-6PM, Saturdays 10AM-6PM, Sundays Noon-6PM

Farther Afield….If you’re up for a country drive, there are a whole bunch of patches in Carnation, and while this is just out of our, “Territory,” it’s a nice mini road trip on a fall day. You can find options in that area on PugetSoundFresh

And, there you have it! Now, it’s time to get your gourd on!  Be sure to share you pictures of your pumpkin adventures with us on our Sounds Fun Mom Facebook page. We’d also love to add to our list if there is one you’d really recommend!
