9 Pumpkin patches in central Arkansas. Family travel guide to visiting your favorite farms with hayrides, corn mazes and more!
Fall in central Arkansas is a little different from where I grew up in New England. It has taken some time to get use to the 85 degree weather in October, but even though the days are hot it’s still a family tradition to visit a pumpkin patch every year.
Some years have looked different than others but most things have stayed the same. We need hayrides, corn mazes, good food, and pumpkins.
Follow us on…
Be sure to check your favorite Arkansas pumpkin patches’ website for the most recent updates, pricing and hours.
