Hooray for pumpkins and pumpkin patches! Why? Because fun ways to celebrate fall in Florida mean things are a little different than up north, but we still know how to enjoy the season. There are lots of fun ways to celebrate fall in and around Tampa Bay – such as Haunted (and not haunted) Corn Mazes, Fall Festivals, and much more!
So let’s celebrate the (kinda imaginary) change of season, or at least celebrate all things pumpkin, by visiting a great local area pumpkin patch!
If you scroll down, you’ll find the pumpkin patches categorized by general area/city.
And here’s another really important tip – what good is visiting the most perfect Fall pumpkin patch…unless you can take pics and vids to post on social media. Because, if you don’t share pics, did it really ever happen? So to help, we’ve compiled the perfect Instagram Worthy Pumpkin Patches – and we know the best spots!
