What We Thought About Our Visit

It’s Pumpkin Patch season, and since there aren’t many other safe outdoor alternatives for kids right now, we decided we would check out some of the more well-known Pumpkin Patch Farms around Socal.

First up is Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch in Irvine, CA. On weekdays the farm offers tickets for a more socially distanced experience, which they accomplish through specified time slots and smaller capacity. The entire visit takes about 45-60 minutes. It includes a wagon ride tour of the farms, some lightning-fast vegetable picking, and a chance to walk the patch to find your perfect Pumpkin. All for $25 a person. It’s not cheap, but it’s also not a parking lot full of hay. If you go, consider getting the earliest available tickets to avoid crowds.
