Whether you're in Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Oak Park, Malibu, Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, or any nearby community in Los Angeles or Ventura County, you're just a short drive away from these fantastic pumpkin patches. And if you're up for a full day of family fun, our local farms provide an immersive experience. Imagine your kids feeding animals, riding ponies and trains, and exploring a corn maze - it's a giant playground for all ages!
When my boys were little we loved to visit the Farm. Your kids can feed the animals, ride the ponies and the train, climb on the hay tower and farm equipment, it's just one big playground. Just don't lose your child in the corn maze like I did . . . lol. There is just so many family fun things to do. Before you leave, you can even pick up some veggies for dinner at some locations.
👉 Macaroni KID Pumpkin Picking Tips: We can have some funky weather in October it can be freezing cold and blazing hot and often in the same day and let's not forget our sometimes rainy weather. If you want to avoid the heat head out early. Mornings and weekdays are not only less busy, but for sites that charge fees week days typically cost less. Keep your pumpkins inside the house till we get closer to Halloween, you don't want to risk them rotting in the heat or rain if any comes our way and this also keeps them away from gnawing critters. If we do experience wet weather keep in mind that some locations may close and if they don't, be prepared for lots of muddy feet.
