Which pumpkin patch is best?

We have been asked by our readers for recommendations on the best pumpkin patch in the Phoenix area. First, which one is closest to you? We recommend checking out that location, for the sake of convenience. (We always go to MacDonald’s Ranch in Scottsdale for this reason!) Make it a weekend family event, or meet up with friends for a playdate.

But, also consider the ages of your children. Do you have little ones under 5? Vertuccio Farms or Mother Nature’s Farms might suit your family better. Or, if you live in the West Valley, try Tolmachoff Farms. Schnepf Farms is also fun, and has alot to keep older children and teens occupied, definitely worth the drive.

Are you trying to save money? MacDonald’s Ranch almost always has a Groupon for 2-4 people, with up to a 40% discount on admission. Be sure to check each venue’s website for possible coupons or discounts as well! (And remember, most places are free for ages 2 and under.)
