When fall arrives in Colorado, farms across the Front Range transform into harvest playgrounds. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides, and seasonal treats draw families for time-honored traditions under crisp blue skies with mountain views.
The farms go beyond just pumpkin picking. Many offer all-day attractions: massive corn mazes with themed designs, pig races, pedal carts, petting zoos, jumping pillows, apple cannons, and harvest-themed games. Some run special evening events with bonfires and haunted attractions for Halloween.
The season runs from late September through October, with peak crowds on October weekends. Weekday visits offer shorter lines and a more relaxed pace. Most farms charge admission that includes attractions, with pumpkins priced separately by size.
