New York City Pumpkin Patch Guide 2021

NEW YORK CITY — Halloween season is officially here, New York.

Few places are better to scare fall memories and jack-o-lanterns than a pumpkin patch. Farm fields are in short supply in the city, but — never fear — they're not too far away

Picking your own pumpkin is a good way to support the local farms who grow them. Many pumpkin patches offer low-cost activities like hayrides, corn mazes and games for young kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin patch is pretty 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.
