Best Boston Area Pumpkin Patches (Picked by Parents)

Amanda Banta said:  Each year loads of pumpkins are hauled into town and the entrance to Wheelwright Park transforms into a pumpkin patch by the Cohasset Appalachia Service Project, which travels to the Central Appalachian Mountains each summer to help low-income families with housing needs. The patch is staffed by the ASP volunteers and their parents as part of the group's fundraising efforts and I try to talk to my boys about why teenagers are working the patch. The pumpkins are arranged in a different pattern each year to create a fun designed that can be viewed from above.

Tracy Snyder Molina said:  This 300 year old farm is a local favorite and features apple picking 7 days a week in season. Each weekend in September and October they have a Fall Festival which includes apple picking, hay rides, farm animals, cider donuts, and one of the best pumpkin patches in the Boston area. They also have a children's amusement area which includes activities such as face painting, spin art, duck races, mini hay maze and a super slide!

Tracy Snyder Molina said:  Pick your own pumpkins and apples along with free hayrides and a kids picnic and play area.

Amanda Banta said:  R&C Farms has a schedule full of fall fun. Pick your own pumpkin, get lost in the corn maze or attend one of the farm's many fall events.

Tracy Snyder Molina said:  If you want to do some apple or pumpkin picking and combine it with a day full of fun activities and attractions perfect for the whole family, then Connors Farm is the destination! Just a sample of the activities available include a 7-acre corn maze, cornhole, zipline, pumpkin chucking, hayrides, baby animals, and pumpkin bowling.

Kristy Pepping said:  Marini Farm is a third-generation family farm offering fresh produce and bakery items, and a variety of specialty foods. During the fall, they create an elaborate corn maze. The educational and interactive 8-acre corn maze takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. For the younger guests, they offer a 1-acre (20 minute) corn maze. Other fall activities include jumping pillow, giant tube slide, rope maze, duck races, and more!

Amanda Banta said:  Dive into the fall spirit with pick-your-own pumpkins and apples at Cider Hill Farm. The farm also offers kid-friendly activities, including visiting and feeding the farm animals.
