There is nothing that screams fall family fun day more than heading out to the pumpkin patch on a local farm. There are some great local patches not too far from the town of Prosper.
Located at 3701 South Custer Rd. in McKinney Texas. The land that Storybook ranch is on was established in 1887 as a working cattle ranch. In its beginning, it encompassed over 600 acres, with time the ranch has become smaller. It was originally a place of Native Americans and settlers. The original owner of the property named the town in the area Dry Bones.
Today, the land that was once Dry Bones is compromised of 15 authentic buildings original to the 1840s through the 1860s. These buildings were brought in from various different locations around Texas and the United States. It is a great place to hold an event with a western theme. Every year the Storybook Ranch hosts a pumpkin patch. They have not yet released information on this year's patch but it is soon to come. Check out their website for the latest information.
This year from October 1-31 you can come out to Main Street in Frisco Texas to pick out the perfect pumpkin. The pumpkin patch is open from 9 AM to 7 PM on weekends and from 1 to 7 PM on weekdays. On Sundays, all other activities do not open until 11:30 AM. What is great about this unique pumpkin patch experience is that there is no entry fee to the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins do come at a cost and there are some costs for other extra activities like the food trucks.
Additional activities include hay rides, face painting, bounce houses, and a pumpkin play area. For safety reasons it is asked that no pets accompany your family to the pumpkin patch. However, there are some photo op areas on the edge near the building where you can take family photos with your furry members if they remain on a leash.
Just off of State Highway 289 is Preston Trail Farms in Gunter Texas. Preston Trail Farms affectionately names its fall festivities the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. This patch has been running since 1997 and has become an annual destination for thousands of people around north Texas and even Oklahoma.
A fun thing about this pumpkin patch is it is open for a longer season than many other farms around the Dallas and Fort Worth area. This year the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm will be open from September 17 to November 23 from 8 AM to 8 PM every day.
At the patch, you can enjoy hay rides, a 6-foot hay maze, a petting farm, and of course all the amenities open year-round including the feed and hardware store, the café, and the gift shop. This farm is open year-round for visitors to enjoy different seasonal activities or just come out and visit the animals and the gift shops.
