Please also note that most of our Pumpkins Patches are not located on farms but in urban locations (vacant parking lots) throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

No. There is no admission fee to stroll around the Pumpkin Patch and pick out the perfect pumpkin. You will only be required to purchase a wristband for your children who wish to play or tickets for other activities.

No. Adults are not permitted on the inflatables at any time. The reason for this is that adults are so much larger than small children and if they fall on the child they can badly hurt the child. A small child weighs under sixty pounds and an adult can easily weigh triple that so the difference in the weight of two colliding bodies can badly hurt the young child. It is for the safety of your child that we do not allow adults on the inflatable games.
If your child should get scared or need assistance on any inflatable, one of our Pumpkin Patch hosts will assist them off. Remember the weight difference in an adult versus a child is substantially different and poses a high risk for the child playing.

No. All children must be accompanied by an adult (18 years of age or older) at all times while at the pumpkin patch.

We understand that this does happen and are more than willing to offer a refund for the wristband as long as the matter is brought to the pumpkin patch manager within the first 5-10 minutes of play.

Yes, all Pumpkin Patches accept credit cards including American Express, Discover, Visa and Mastercard.
