This page provides a detailed list of The Panhandle of Florida'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!
We have loads of related resources here, too.

A visitor writes on October 17, 2010: "Yes it was open, but it isn't worth telling anyone! It was really pathetic. They did have pony rides which was OK but the hayride was hot and dusty through a briar patch, and they had about 3 pallets of pumpkins. The horses were cool.. That's about it. Thumbs down... They are moving the stables the first of November. We did have a great lunch and ice cream over in Destin so that made it worth it ;) !! "
