Pumpkin Patches
Everybody can find something to do at pumpkin patches, whether it’s going through a corn maze, finding pumpkins to carve and decorate, or just going for the fall vibes, pumpkin patches have a little something for everyone.
There are various pumpkin patches throughout Colorado, including one of the most well known and popular, Anderson Farms. Anderson Farms is home to Terror in the Corn, a haunted corn maze which is a more scary activity people can partake in if they choose.
