Fun at the Pumpkin Patch! 10 Fun Local Pumpkin Patches to Take the Kiddos

10/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Snohomish County Pumpkin Patches
We are fortunate in the Pacific Northwest to have a ridiculous number of great local farms so this isn't a contest.  The farms are listed in alphabetical order as there is fun to be had at all of them.  However, there are some of Above and Beyond moments and cool features so I listed those below before getting to the complete list.  

This list includes most of (hopefully all of) the pumpkin patches around Snohomish County.  The titles and pics link to each farms website or Facebook page for more information.    If you have a favorite farm that I missed let me know in the comments here or on Facebook.  

Pumpkin Patch Stand Outs & Fun Features

The Above and Beyond List!
Remlinger Farm - Yes they are in King County but it's way North King County and their Harvest Festival is worth it!  25 rides and attractions, lots of animals and train rides, and fair food!
Craven Farm - They do an after dark corn maze, they have barn yard animals, snacks and espresso, and I'm sorry, I forgot to mention Anna and Elsa Meet and Greets.  You have to call to book so I got you the number (360) 568-2601.
