5. Tom's Farms – Temescal Valley, CA

Tom's Farms is a little different from the traditional pumpkin farms on this list, but I included it because it's so close to Corona and makes an easy fall family stop.

The Farmers Market currently has pumpkins, and Tom's Farms also has restaurants, shopping and family attractions. Its current site features its train, carousel and other family entertainment. Tom's Farms Amusement Park

Best for: Corona-area families who want an easy local outing where you can grab pumpkins, get something to eat and spend some time with the kids.

I wouldn't consider this the same type of full pumpkin-farm experience as Live Oak Canyon or Peltzer. Think of it more as an easy fall stop close to Corona.

6. Wickerd Farm – Menifee, CA

If the giant carnival atmosphere isn't really your thing, Wickerd Farm offers something quieter.

11. Little Rascals Pumpkin Patch at Dos Lagos – Corona, CA

And we're ending right back here in Corona.

Which Pumpkin Patch Is Closest to Corona, CA?

If staying close to home is your priority, start with The Pumpkin Factory in Corona or Little Rascals at Dos Lagos.

Tom's Farms in Temescal Valley is also very close, while Seasonal Adventures in Eastvale gives you another nearby option with more kid-focused rides and attractions.

For a bigger destination experience, you'll need to drive a little farther to places such as Live Oak Canyon, Peltzer or Pumpkins in the Pines.

A Few Tips Before You Head Out

October weekends can get busy, especially as Halloween gets closer. If your schedule allows, weekday visits can mean smaller crowds and, at some locations, lower admission.

I also recommend checking the location's official website the day you're planning to go. Hours, weather closures, attraction availability and pricing can change during the season.

And don't assume general admission includes everything. Several of these pumpkin patches charge separately for rides, games, pony rides, petting zoos or other attractions.

Most importantly, choose the patch that fits your family. A toddler probably doesn't need a giant all-day fall festival to have fun, while older kids may want a corn maze, rides and more to do.
