Looking for a local pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayride, gourds and other
Halloween activities in West Florida? Scroll down this page and you will see the
all of those in West Florida, sorted by county. 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. Most 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.

Keep in mind, many farms, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and Haunted Houses are trying to cope with rapidly changing state COVID requirements: ALWAYS
see their own website, Facebook page or call them before you go.
NOTE: Many of the farms are dropping their websites and switching to Facebook pages - but they don't tell
anyone, including search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo or us, or redirect their website, thus breaking all links to them. If a link is broken
please click the "click here to report a broken link or blank page" so we can find the replacement link! Thanks!
After Halloween, find a Christmas tree at a
local
Christmas tree farm (and enjoy a bonfire, smore, hot chocolate and

A visitor writes on October 29, 2011: "Hello. We've
been taking our children to Sweetfields Farm for 3 years in a row.
We all love it. There's a ton of fun activities and, each year, they
seem to get better than the last such as a HUGE cornstalk maze, live
storytellers and a big tree house. We despise the "side of the road
pumpkin patch" - that's no way to fully experience the fun of a farm
AND picking out a pumpkin. Speaking of which, a large pumpkin at
Sweetfields Farm is on average $10 ... not $40 like some of these
faux pumpkin stands.!"

party for your children - horses and ponies are available for
groups. The group can ride on the trails or stay in our large arena.
Also, ride through the neighboring park on a traditional hay ride.
Hay Ride and Pony Ride Party: We will pick your party up at Medard
Park with a hay wagon and bring you back to Turkey Creek Stables. At
the stables, you have four ponies (or a combination of horses and
ponies) for everyone to ride in the arena for an hour. The children
(of all ages) take turns riding the ponies (assisted by their
parents) for an hour. We will provide someone to walk the
ponies/horses for an additional $5.00 each (2007). Call us to
reserve your pony today! When the hour is over, we take you back to
Medard Park on the hay wagon. The cost is only $80 (2007). For older
children, we offer our regular hourly horse rentals so that they may
ride on the trails. If you have ten or more riders, there is no
charge for the hayride. If you have less than ten riders, there will
be a charge of $15 (2007) for the hayride. We now have a party room
available for your party. Pony Rides at Your Party: We will also
bring a pony, or horse, to your home for parties. We have a
three-hour minimum requirement and handlers are available for an
additional charge. The cost is based on where the pony is to be
delivered.
