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.

Anderson Farms – Best Pumpkin Patch in Colorado

6728 County Road 3-1/4, Erie

Anderson Farms is a big deal in the world of pumpkin patches. Its sheer size is impressive, with the corn maze alone being 25 acres.

Anderson Farms created the first corn maze in Colorado in 1999. What was once just hayrides and a pumpkin patch now offers so much more.

Activities include slides, tractor tires, pumpkin canons, wagon rides, corn maze, pedal carts, jump pads, and more!

Additional activities for purchase include gem mining, henna tattoos, pumpkin painting, mini escape rooms, and more.

2023 pricing:

Tickets start at $17 for weekdays, $28 for weekends. Kids 3 & under are free. Fire pits can be reserved starting at $75 for 4 hours.

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!

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.

2023 pricing:

General admission is free. Pumpkins are $7. Corn Maze was $7-$10 last year, waiting on current pricing to be revealed. Open weekdays only.

Mile High Farms pumpkin patch in Colorado

Mile High Farms

11 Cavanaugh Rd, Bennett

Mile High Farms is open on Saturdays and Sundays during the month of October. It’s located near Denver just to the east.

This place is a great pumpkin patch in Colorado for all ages. Try out one of the two corn mazes, visit the petting zoo, take a hayride, ride in the barrel cart, play at the playground, and have plenty of photo ops in front of the little surrounding buildings.

Admission will also give you access to the pumpkin patch where each person can pick the pumpkin just right! (Pumpkins are an additional cost.)

2023 pricing:

Four Mile Historic Park pumpkin patch

Four Mile Historic Park

715 S Forest St, Denver

Four Mile Historic Park is a great, family-friendly pumpkin patch in Denver. The activities are a little more history-focused (plus some modern fun as well.)

This unique farm offers activities other pumpkin patches don’t. Try your hand at some prairie games from back in the day. Join in an arts and crafts activity. Check out live demonstrations from blacksmiths. Take a tractor ride, pan for gold, and enjoy a face-painting.

An upgraded ticket will also give you access to axe-throwing, a pumpkin to take home, and free parking.

Save a few dollars by purchasing tickets ahead of time online!

2023 Pricing:

Tickets run anywhere from $17-35. The fall festival will take place on October 14th and 15th this year.

Pumpkin Patches South of Denver

Flat Acres Farm

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.

Last year, there was a fire (arson) at the patch. They finished out the season, but this year 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.)

With the pumpkin festival gone, they do still offer an air soft course and local honey for sale.

Gilly’s Pumpkin Patch

Gilly’s is not a huge, over run pumpkin patch.

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 the money out if you buy a pumpkin!

The Patch

Note for the 2023 season, The Patch has a new location in Kiowa (previously located in Elizabeth).

The Patch is a large, increasingly popular pumpkin patch in Colorado located south and east of Denver.

It’s a great, family-friendly pumpkin patch with plenty of activities for everyone.

  1. These are great choices. So many to choose from with very reasonable prices. I have never visited a pumpkin patch or did a corn maze but I would love to. If I am ever in the area I plan to check out at least one of these pumpkin patches.
