SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Going to a pumpkin patch to pick the biggest pumpkin isn't just about finding the perfect Halloween lantern. It's a chance to get the family out on a treasured fall tradition full of exciting activities.
Many pumpkin patches offer low-cost activities such as hayrides, corn mazes and games for children. Picking your own pumpkin is also a great way to support the local farms that grow it.
Visiting an outdoor pumpkin farm is relatively safe. Mask and social distancing guidelines and hours of operation are subject to change. Before you go, it is best to call ahead to the field or check its website.
