Best Pumpkin Patches Near Orlando (2026 Family Guide)
Updated August 2026 · 5 min read
Fall in Florida does not look like a postcard from up north, but we absolutely have pumpkin patches, and some of them are a whole day of family fun. A few are church-and-community patches perfect for a quick photo op, and others are full farm festivals with corn mazes, hayrides, and petting zoos. Here are the real ones near Orlando I would plan a fall day around in 2026. Always double-check hours before you go, since farm dates shift with the season.
Amber Brooke Farms (Eustis)
One of the biggest fall experiences in the area, with 25-plus attractions like a petting zoo, gemstone mining, a bubble barn, face painting, a corn maze, and live music. The Fall Festival runs weekends from about September 19 through November 22, 2026. This is the one to pick when you want the full farm day, not just a pumpkin.
Great Scott Farms (Mount Dora)
A classic Central Florida farm fall festival with a 7-acre corn maze, a jumping pillow, a 60-foot super slide, a castle playground, tractor tours, and the pumpkin patch. Typically open Saturdays and Sundays from about September 26 through November 15, 2026. Great for active kids who want to run.
St. Luke's UMC Pumpkin Patch (Orlando)
The easy, in-town classic. A church pumpkin patch with free admission and pumpkins from about a dollar up to around thirty, usually open mid to late October. This is my go-to for a quick, low-key photo-op patch close to home without a big drive or entry fee.
Harvest Fields Corn Maze & Hayride (DeLand)
A little northeast of Orlando, with a corn maze and hayride experience typically running weekends in October. A fun, slightly cooler-vibe fall outing if you want the hay-bale-and-maze feel.
