Best Newark Area Pumpkin Patches

NEWARK, CA — Heading out to a pumpkin patch to pick the best pumpkin isn’t just about finding the perfect Halloween jack-o-lantern. It’s a chance to head out with the family in a cherished fall tradition full of fun activities.

Picking your own pumpkin is a good way to benefit the local farms who grow them. Many pumpkin patches offer free activities like hayrides, corn mazes and games for young children.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin field is relatively safe; mask and social distancing guidelines and hours of operation may change. Before you go, it’s best to call ahead to the field or check its website.
