BIRMINGHAM, AL β The coronavirus might have changed our traditional experience of going to the pumpkin patch but itβs still not too late to enjoy this fall activity in Alabama.
A visit to the pumpkin patch in 2020 is different from years prior, owing to the pandemic but you can still enjoy the outdoors at several area pumpkin patches. Like local businesses and venues across the country, pumpkin patches have had to adjust their hours, activities and methods of operation.
So if youβre planning a visit, remember to take the required precautions, check local health guidelines, hours and rules for nearby pumpkin patches. And donβt forget to check if you need to make a reservation.
