This page provides a detailed list of Southern California's pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!!   Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands.  All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from.  To really make it fun for  your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride.  There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the  more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don't always report changes to me!

    Tips from past year's visitors:  Pick your own pumpkins from their HUGE pumpkin patch. Bring a wagon if you have one because carrying the pumpkins from the patch to your car can be heavy! Students from the College of Agriculture plant and care for the crop until it’s ready for harvest in October. Most pumpkins are priced at $4 each (these are 2008 prices - they may have changed), and visitors often bring gloves, shears and perhaps a wagon for their chance to pick a great pumpkin. Pumpkins range from softball to basketball size (some even larger). Pumpkin Festival admission and parking is free.  The popular Insect Fair, featuring educational displays and demonstrations, will run Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm.  It is located in the Bronco Student Center.  Insect Fair admission in 2008 was $4 for adults, $3 for children under 12, and children 2 and under are free
