School is back in session, which means Halloween and fall are just around the corner, and both of those mean pumpkins! Visiting a local farm makes picking out the perfect pumpkin fun, with plenty of family-friendly fall activities available as well. Here are the 2024 pumpkin patches in Vancouver, Washington, and throughout Clark County.
Tips for visiting local pumpkin patches:
- Early in the season will give you the best selection.
- Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
- Put cardboard or plastic garbage bags in your car to keep it clean.
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking.
- Be ready for the weather: that could mean sunscreen or an umbrella and a raincoat!
- Bring cash, though some accept cards, it’s good to be prepared.
- Bring gloves.
