Fall is here! If the crisp air is calling your name, there’s no better way to enjoy the season than exploring a local pumpkin patch. Boulder County has several fantastic options. Whether you want to stay close to home or you’re planning a road trip, these destinations are worth checking out.
Munson Farms
Munson Farms is conveniently located here in town at 75th and Valmont. This family-owned and operated farm has been growing locally produced fruits and vegetables since 1976, focusing on sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches, and pumpkins. The pumpkin patch opens on September 20th, 2025, so mark your calendars and get ready to enjoy the fall season!
Rock Creek Farm
Rock Creek Farm is just a short drive from Boulder (less than half an hour). This venue is perfect for those seeking a complete experience. There’s plenty to enjoy, including you-pick pumpkins, corn and hay bale mazes, photo opportunities, and kids’ activities. The farm will open for the season on September 27th, 2025. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for updates before opening day.
Anderson Farms
A bit outside of Boulder, but well worth the trip, Anderson Farms in Erie markets itself as Colorado’s largest fall family entertainment destination. They have a large selection of pumpkins, squash, and gourds, wagon rides to the patch, kids’ activities, and a big corn maze. This place tends to be busier, especially on weekends, but it offers a festive atmosphere rather than just a patch. They also host Terror in the Corn, which is a genuinely scary experience (not for young kids!).
Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch
Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch is located near Longmont. There’s plenty to do here: pick pumpkins, buy produce from the farm stand, and enjoy the seasonal fall festival with many activities. Their hours are daily in October (for the main festival, with some limitations and special hours). It’s a great choice if you want to avoid the biggest crowds but still enjoy fall charm and fun features.
As you plan your autumn adventures, these pumpkin patches around Boulder County provide the perfect way to celebrate the season—whether you’re picking the perfect jack-o’-lantern, getting lost in a corn maze, or just enjoying the fresh air. Wherever your fall traditions take you, I hope you cherish every moment. Happy fall!
