Family Farm Fun at Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch
Located on a 30-acre farm off of Stony Point Road in Sonoma County, the Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch is definitely a must-visit attraction for families this fall. While its address is in Santa Rosa, it's actually located in the rural area just outside Rohnert Park, making it an easy trip from Marin.
Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch is popular, and for good reason — there are a ton of fun activities here for the whole family. Of course, don't forget to head out into their giant 10-acre pumpkin patch to look for that perfect pumpkin, too.
We visited the Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch this weekend and had a great time. We were really impressed with their enormous pumpkin patch, which has wide variety of different pumpkins and colorful gourds growing in it. Many of the pumpkins were still attached to the vine, so come prepared with a pocketknife or clippers!
Santa Rosa pumpkin patch offers a wide variety of attractions for families. A $5 general admission wristband gets you access to much of the fun, including pedal trikes, corn pits, swings, the hay pyramid, and of course the pumpkin patch. A $15 wristband gets you all that plus access to jumpy pillows, inflatables, and the petting farm. For $25, you can add on admission to the corn maze, a tractor-drawn hay ride or cow train ride, and three shots on the pumpkin blasters.
Attractions are also available a la carte, and outside vendors are on hand on weekends with additional activities like pony rides and face painting. Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch is home to Sonoma County's largest corn maze, with short and long routes. Admission to the corn maze costs $4; children under 5 are admitted free. After 6 pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it becomes the Night Maze and admission goes up to $7 for all ages. Learn more about all the attractions here.
Like most pumpkin patches, food — including hot dogs, chili, and nachos — and drinks are available for purchase. You can also get kettle corn, cotton candy, caramel apples, and other sweet treats.
Their huge pumpkin patch has a really wide variety of pumpkins to choose from, ranging from classic orange jack-lantern types to specialty pumpkins, squash, and gourds. There are plenty of carts to use to haul your future jack-o-lanterns back to the checkstand and then to your car. Prices range from $5 to $20 and up for classic orange pumpkins, depending on size. Specialty pumpkins start at $8, gourds are $3 and up each.
With more than enough activities and attractions to keep everyone occupied and an easy-to-get-to location, the Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch is a popular choice for fall family fun. For more information, call (707) 331-6653 or visit www.santarosapumpkinpatch.com.
