When fall arrives, thoughts turn to pumpkin patches. In Miami and South Florida, a visit to a pumpkin patch prepares kids for the main event—Halloween.

Whether you're looking for a low-key pumpkin patch or a full-on pumpkin and harvest festival, we have collected all of this season's must-visit pumpkin patches to get your house ready for fall. From the heart of Miami to the farthest corners of Palm Beach County, South Florida is ready with jack-o'-lanterns, hay mazes, and pumpkin photo-ops for a memorable season.

We recommend that you call or visit websites before heading out, however. Some destinations, especially those in northern Palm Beach County, might still be coping with the impact of Hurricane Milton.  

In the meantime, want more ideas to let loose this season? Check out our awesome Fall Fun Guide for Miami and South Florida Kids, including the best harvest festivals near Miami.
