Los mejores campos de calabazas en Florida, Georgia y Alabama.
On assignment this fall in the Southeast? You’ve got a front-row seat to some of the best pumpkin patches around, and a free weekend is the perfect excuse to explore your new city like a local. Here’s where to go in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
Florida
Southern Hill Farms (Clermont) — Central Florida’s go-to for a full fall festival, not just a patch. Carnival rides, a corn maze, a petting zoo, u-pick flowers, and live music on weekends.
The Berry Farm (Miami) — A five-acre corn maze, hayrides, a farmers market, and an ice cream parlor to cool off in the South Florida heat. Open through mid-November, with u-pick fruit and sunflowers too.
Pumpkin Patch Express (Parrish) — Part of the Florida Railroad Museum, this one’s less patch and more experience: hop a real train, pick your pumpkin along the way, and enjoy hayrides and crafts at the station.
Georgia
Southern Belle Farms (McDonough) — One of the metro Atlanta area’s biggest, with a two-acre pumpkin patch, a four-acre corn maze, and more than 20 attractions, including pig races and pedal carts.
Uncle Shuck’s Pumpkin Patch (Dawsonville) — A North Georgia favorite with a corn maze, jumping pillow, tire mountain, and even gem mining if you want to make a full day of it.
Burt’s Farm (Dawsonville) — A Georgia institution known for pumpkins in every size (some enormous), plus sunflower fields, hayrides, and homemade treats from the farm store.
Alabama
Tate Farms (Meridianville) — Over 80 acres of pumpkin fields near Huntsville, with hayrides, barnyard animals, and corn cribs (giant tubs of corn you can dive into, kids love this one).
Hidden Rivers (Hartselle) — A corn maze, jump pad, and zip line make this one worth the drive if you want more than just pumpkins.
Choctafaula Pumpkin Patch (Auburn) — The most unexpected patch on this list, with exotic safari animals, wagon rides, and even a mechanical bull alongside the petting zoo.
A quick tip before you go: hours and dates vary by farm and some require reservations, so call ahead or check their site before you make the drive. And if you find a new favorite, tell us about it, we’d love to add it to next year’s list.
