🎃 Best Pumpkin Patches to Visit in North Texas This Fall

Fall has officially arrived in North Texas — and you can feel it in the air (and in your coffee ☕). From Flower Mound to Frisco, Denton to Dallas, our area is bursting with cozy, family-friendly fall fun. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect pumpkin, a weekend hayride, or just a great photo spot for your family, there’s something for everyone across the DFW Metroplex.

Here are some of my favorite pumpkin patches and fall farms to visit this season:

🍂 1. Hall’s Pumpkin Farm & Corn Maze – Grapevine, TX

A North Texas classic! Hall’s is one of the most loved fall traditions around DFW. You’ll find a massive corn maze, wagon rides, farm animals, and plenty of pumpkins to pick straight from the patch. The rustic red barn backdrop makes for perfect family photos, especially around golden hour.
📍 Opens October 3, 2025
🕰 Evenings and weekends — cash only, so come prepared!

🌻 2. Mainstay Farm Park – Cleburne, TX

Nicknamed “The Biggest Backyard in Texas,” this family-run farm is packed with fall fun. With over 30 attractions, from giant slides and ziplines to hayrides and pumpkin houses, it’s ideal for families who want to spend the whole day at the farm. Don’t miss the barnyard grill and apple cider donuts — they’re a hit every year!

🧡 3. Blase Family Farm – Rockwall, TX
