PALO ALTO, CA — Going to a pumpkin field to pick the best pumpkin isn’t just about finding the perfect Halloween jack-o-lantern. It’s an opportunity to head out with the family in a treasured fall practice full of exciting activities.

Picking your own pumpkin is a good way to benefit the local farmers who grow them. Many pumpkin patches offer complementary activities like hayrides, corn mazes and games for young kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin patch is pretty safe; mask and social distancing guidelines and hours of operation may change. Before you go, it’s best to call ahead to the field or check its website.
