Best Pumpkin Patches & Corn Mazes near Denver 2026

Why we recommend: Sept 23–Oct 31. $13.50–$50 (dynamic; kids 3 & under free). The biggest overall fall-festival experience near Denver: 30 acres of pumpkin patch with 70+ varieties, 25-acre corn maze, wagon rides, pedal karts, farm animals, private firepits, escape rooms. Buy online before a peak October weekend — popular dates sell out.

Why we recommend: Corn maze Sept 18–Oct 31; Pumpkin Festival weekend Oct 10–12 ($20 adults, $12 kids). The 8-acre corn maze honors Colorado's 150th anniversary this year with state symbols cut into the stalks — climb the bridge for the bird's-eye view. The October festival weekend adds a 10-acre patch, magic shows, wagon rides, and carnival games.

Why we recommend: Sept 20–Oct 31. FREE admission (activities vary). Twenty-four years running and still the best-value fall day in the metro: 20-acre corn maze, pumpkin field, petting zoo, duck races, pony rides, mini market, corn launcher. Closest quality option to downtown.

Why we recommend: Early Oct–mid-Nov. Named Colorado's best pumpkin patch and most creative corn maze in past years: two mazes (full-size + kids' mini), tractor rides, petting zoo, unlimited barrel cart rides. Worth the drive east.

Why we recommend: Opens Sept 19. The go-big farm: huge corn maze, pumpkin train, go-kart track, a house made entirely of pumpkins, and a pumpkin cannon. Fun Pass pricing (~$33.95 full price) — one admission covers most of the day.

Why we recommend: Sept 26–Nov 2. $15/person. The smaller-crowds pick: U-pick pumpkins on a historic Boulder County farm, plus a year-round farm stand with local meat, eggs, honey, and roasted chiles. Come for pumpkins, leave with groceries.

Why we recommend: A charming family-run farm with pumpkins, wagon rides, and a corn maze — low-key and local, the anti-megafarm. Good with small kids who'd be overwhelmed at Anderson.
