There is something so special about pumpkin patches in the fall. Sure, we could get some when we’re on our weekly Giant run, and we certainly do that in those moments when you’re panicking and need to get a last-minute pumpkin to carve before Halloween… but for fall fun? There’s nothing better than heading out to a pumpkin patch and finding your very own gourds.
Thankfully, there are tons of options in South Central PA, with pumpkin patches that can offer you and your family a whole day of fall fun.
