💡 Know Before You Go
🎃 Dress in layers — October mornings start chilly and warm up by afternoon; mud-friendly shoes help after rain.
🎃 Budget for extras — admission often covers the patch, but bounce pillows, corn cannons, and treats are usually add-ons.
🎃 Check the weather — patches are all outdoors; most stay open in light rain but close for storms.
🎃 Go on a weekday morning — weekends get crowded; weekday visits mean shorter lines and better light for photos.
🎃 Bring a wagon or wheelbarrow — pumpkins get heavy fast, and little legs get tired on the walk back.
