Hi, {{first__name | reader}},

Fall may be the best (and most underrated) season in the Pacific Northwest. Cooler temps, vibrant colors, and the return of pumpkin everything! Every October, Portlanders begin their seasonal quest for the perfect pumpkin. The metro region boasts dozens of farms ready to welcome visitors, making your challenge less about finding options and more about selecting which experience suits your family best.

Use this guide to find your new favorite pumpkin patch.

Hours and prices were last checked Oct. 7, 2026. Farms change plans quickly (and weather closes fields), so check the farm's website or social media before you drive out.

This island farm has welcomed October visitors since 1967, with the current generation continuing agricultural practices dating back more than 100 years. Visitors can explore 25 acres of U-pick pumpkins (accessible by foot or a $2 wagon ride), get lost in the 8-acre corn maize, and visit the historic 1929 barn housing farm animals.

This certified organic operation transforms each fall with one of the region's earliest corn mazes, opening late August across seven acres. The 2026 design is themed "5 Kind Acts." Starting Sept. 26, free hayrides ferry visitors to the pumpkin fields, while Friday and Saturday nights bring a haunted maze ($35-$45). Heads up: there's no haunted maze on Halloween this year. The last haunt is Friday, Oct. 30, with a costume contest.

This farm manages crowds by requiring timed-entry tickets on Fall Harvest weekends, when hayrides, the corn maze, the pumpkin field, farm animals, and play areas are all bundled into admission. Tuesdays through Fridays are free to enter with a lighter lineup, including U-pick pumpkins and a $5 corn maze.

After two and a half decades of operation, this 65-acre property cultivates dozens of gourd varieties from heritage seeds. The signature attraction launches pumpkins hundreds of feet via cannon toward valley targets. Local artisans constructed the whimsical hobbit house playground by hand.

Just 3 miles from Portland International Airport, this family farm is an easy option for time-pressed families, with weekday evening hours that fit after school. The corn maze has 6-foot-wide paths, pumpkins are priced by size from $2 to $50, and yes, they have goats.

The distinctive rose-colored locomotive has become this farm's signature, delighting thousands of young riders over the past decade-plus. A scaled-down corn maze caters specifically to the preschool crowd. The on-site kitchen produces fresh doughnuts and cider slushies daily.

This turn-of-the-century, 115-acre farm keeps things simple: one admission covers petting the farm animals, a tractor ride, and a nature trail that crosses Dolan Creek. Warm up by the campfire with Doug's doughnuts and cider, then browse the mercantile for fall decor.

Educational corn mazes have been this farm's specialty for decades, and 2026 marks its 27th Fall Festival. This year's 4-acre maze sends visitors on a quest to rescue a stolen golden pumpkin, with a Dark Maze for flashlight fans. The apple slingshot range offers targets at varying distances, while the hilltop hayride route showcases Mount Hood on clear days. Grown-ups can book a 21+ evening on Oct. 17 ($55).

The farm and pumpkin patch are free to wander, with farm animals, a hay pyramid, tube slides, and photo spots. You pay only for the new 10-acre corn maze, which offers two interactive adventures (a kids' maze is included). On Friday and Saturday nights, bring a flashlight for the night maze.

More than 80 animals live on this Wilsonville farm, and on weekends the llamas roam the pumpkin patch. Weekend visitors can lead a llama through an obstacle course and catch the Oregon Bird Man (Saturdays) or magician John W. Stevens (weekends through Oct. 24). Weekday admission includes the Bounce Park and corn maze.

This Aurora farm's bakery turns out apple cider doughnuts by the hundreds on busy weekends. Its Harvest Festival packs in a corn maze, wagon rides, farm animals, inflatables, and a well-stocked country market.

Farming here traces back to the 1800s, making this one of the region's longest-running farms. October weekends bring pumpkins on the vine, a corn maze, hayrides, kids' activities, food trucks, and fresh cider doughnuts, plus hard cider for the grown-ups.

Made famous by TLC's long-running series "Little People, Big World," this 100-acre Helvetia property packs in play structures, games, animals, photo spots, and wagon tours past some of the farm's most recognizable sights. New this year: the "Zombie Time!" train is back by popular demand, and a mobile golf simulator offers haunted courses.

Operating since the late 1980s on land settled in the 1890s, this Beaverton farm grows 52 varieties of pumpkins alongside a 10-acre corn maze. Weekends bring live music and beer from Barn Door Brewing, and the apple cider doughnuts and pies make it easy to stay for snack time.

A Willamette Valley institution spanning two centuries of family farming across 200 acres, this seventh-generation operation continues agricultural traditions established in 1886. Twelve pumpkin varieties grow alongside unique attractions, including a 150-foot mega slide and an inflatable bounce pillow. The Cowboy Café serves house-made pumpkin doughnuts using a generations-old recipe.

Since opening in 2009, this Cornelius farm has maintained free admission as a community service gesture. Three acres of corn maze await exploration with fresh designs each season, while the petting area houses miniature goats available for $1 feeding sessions. Specialty varieties include white "ghost" pumpkins and textured "knucklehead" gourds.

The Wachlin family transformed their fourth-generation dairy operation into a pumpkin destination in 2008. The 1910 red barn provides a historic backdrop, while accessible pathways accommodate wagons and wheelchairs throughout the fields. The farm deliberately limits attractions to preserve an authentic agricultural experience suitable for young children. It’s pet friendly. 

Since 1989, this Hillsboro farm has distinguished itself by cultivating grass pathways between pumpkin rows — an unusual practice preventing muddy conditions. Their signature pumpkin pie milkshakes blend actual pie filling with soft-serve ice cream. Children enjoy climbing the restored 1960s fire truck in the play area. 

This Sherwood destination goes big: bounce areas, slides, zip lines, a barrel train with cars painted by local kids, a corn maze, farm animals, and a farm store stocked with more than 50 bulk candy varieties.

For more than 50 years, this family-owned farm on the Sunset Highway has been a beloved destination for fall family fun. With no entrance fee and no reservations required, it's an easy, welcoming choice for a classic pumpkin patch on the outer edge of Portland's western suburbs. This year, 15 acres of sunflower fields add walking trails to the mix.

Happy hunting, and may your jack-o'-lanterns be legendary.
