Now that crisp autumn weather has (finally!) arrived in Charlotte, it’s time to visit a pick-you-own pumpkin patch to kick off the fall season. Whether you choose one large pumpkin to adorn your front porch or a dozen mini pumpkins, creating memories with your family at a pumpkin patch is fun for the whole family. Many pumpkin patches also feature hayrides, animal petting barns, and delicious fall-themed treats. Below are our recommendations of pumpkin patches to consider visiting this fall. At some of these locations, hours and pricing can change depending on the weather and the day of the week, so be sure to check online before planning your trip.
