There are so many pumpkin patches in Colorado that it’s hard to figure out which one to go to. Here you’ll find a guide on some great pumpkin patches with their activities and prices so you can plan exactly where you’d like to visit for your fall festival this year.

Fall brings about all the best things in life: great temperatures, pleasant scents, and of course, pumpkin patches. Some great family memories can be made by visiting these fall festivals every year, so I’ve put together a quick guide of the best pumpkin patches in Colorado!

Note: These patches are all based from North of Denver to Colorado Springs area. I’m sure the mountains, eastern plains, and western slope all have great ones, too. Here are some of the best Colorado Pumpkin Patches!

Best Pumpkin Patches in Denver and North

Miller Farms

Miller Farms is located north of Denver and on the eastern side of I-25 in Platteville.

Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch

9059 Ute Highway/CO-66, Longmont

Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch is a great place to pick pumpkins and has plenty of fall entertainment all month long.

On Saturdays and Sundays:

The great thing is admission is FREE. After you’re inside, you can pay for exactly what you want (and not for what you don’t!) Purchase tickets for $1 each. Each attraction is between 1-10 tickets and may include a train ride, petting zoo, pony ride, slides, pumpkin painting, corn maze, and more.

On Weekdays:

If you visit on a weekday, you may get a little more bang for your buck. Weekday visitors purchase a wristband ($15.00 kids, $5 adult) which gets them unlimited select activities. These include a few choices of mazes, an obstacle course, visiting the animals, and visiting the pumpkin patch (visit to the pumpkin patch is free, costs $ to purchase a pumpkin).

Maize in the City

10451 McKay Road, Thornton

Maize in the City is another great pumpkin patch in Colorado. Like the patch above, admission is free and the visitor only pays for each activity they enjoy.

The schedule is a little random. It’s open weekends in October and also some weekdays here and there, so make sure to check the schedule before your visit.

Maize in the City has a large corn maze (over 20 acres!), a mini maze for younger kids, hay bale maze, playground, pumpkin patch, corn kernel box (my kids favorite when they were toddlers!), train, pony ride, bounce pads, and much more!

Admission is free.

Many of the basic activities are free (corn kernel box, playground, Jenga, photo ops…) and others have a cost (like the maze or barrel train).

Rock Creek Farm

2005 South 112th Street, Broomfield

Rock Creek Farm is the perfect pumpkin patch if you’re looking for something a little more simple.

It doesn’t have 100 activities like many patches these days. But it does have over 6 miles of corn field mazes. Pick from one of the 3 corn mazes or try out the hay bale maze for younger ones.

When you’ve navigated your way out of the maze, check out the large pumpkin patch and pick the perfect pumpkin. You can also stop by and visit the animals on the farm.

2024 pricing:

General admission on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon is $10 and includes the corn maze.

Pumpkin Patches South of Denver

Flat Acres Farm– CLOSED

11321 Dransfeldt Rd, Parker

Flat Acres Farm has actually ended their pumpkin patch. I’m including this in case anyone typically makes the trek down to what was an awesome place in fall.

A couple years ago, there was a fire (arson) at the patch. They finished out the season, but they are not re-opening. To clarify, the website says they are not reopening because of the amount of time and effort to “facilitate these life changing events.” (So the reason they are closed may or may not have anything to do with the fire last year.)

Lone Creek Farms

Lone Creek Farms

3879 N State highway 83, Franktown

Lone Creek Farms has quickly climbed up the ladder of best pumpkin patches in Colorado.

Each year, more and more work goes in to adding to this great fall festival.

Gilly’s Pumpkin Patch

Gilly’s is not huge or overrun. It’s the best pumpkin patch for kids and toddlers in the Denver area thanks to its charm and small size.

It IS a cute, family-run local pumpkin patch. You can enjoy a corn pit, little bikes, wagons, and a few other activities.

It’s also a great place to take fall family pictures in front of great set-ups like an old red truck.

The best part? It is completey FREE admission to Gilly’s. You’ll only need to get your money out if you buy a pumpkin!

This is the perfect pumpkin patch for toddlers who don’t need the big or scary stuff, but just want a cute little place to toddle around and enjoy a few fun activities.
