According to Yelp, Nevada has the second-best pumpkin patch in the United States. Here’s the downside: It’s in Sparks 🙃 So how do the options stack up in Southern Nevada? We’ve got picks.
🧑🌾 Gilcrease Orchard
Gilcrease Orchard harvests seasonal produce year-round, but fall is the busiest time of year for the 60-acre operation in the Northwest Valley. The general public is invited to pick pumpkins off the vine and apples from trees. You can snip fresh sunflowers too. It gets so busy, a ticketing reservation system is in place. (Use it to avoid getting turned away at the gates.) No visit is complete without an order of farm-fresh apple cider, which is also used to make doughnuts smothered in cinnamon sugar and cream cheese frosting.
🐄 The Las Vegas Farm
Located just down the street from Gilcrease Orchard, The Las Vegas Farm does incredible work as an animal sanctuary, opening the doors for tours and a market on weekends. The annual Farm Fall Harvest Festival is in full swing with a variety of pumpkins, including some you might not see elsewhere. Shop for pumpkins, jams, pies, eggs harvested on-site, and more — and challenge yourself with the “amazing maize maze.”
🎡 Vegas Pumpkin Patch
The Vegas Pumpkin Patch, located in Henderson at the Cowabunga Bay waterpark, is more like a Midwest carnival than a traditional pumpkin patch. You and the kids will cover a lot of ground, from a ferris wheel and other rides to all the caramel apples and funnel cake you can handle. Choose a pumpkin from among dozens of varieties and decorate it on the spot before heading home.
👻 Halloween Town
Halloween Town leans heavily into seasonal spooky-themed carnival fun with four valleywide locations: Centennial Hills, Silverado Ranch, the Southwest (on Rainbow), and Summerlin between Boca Park and Tivoli Village. These are the best pumpkin patches for young kids with a variety of games, rides, and treats to keep ‘em occupied for hours.
🌽 Moapa Valley Corn Maze
The Moapa Valley Corn Maze is on a working farm, just 60 miles outside Las Vegas amongst the colorful scenery of Logandale. About 10,000 pumpkins a year are grown on site with attractions that mix autumn-themed fun with Halloween scares. Daytime corn mazes and activities are more family friendly, while things get a little wild after dark — so don’t panic if you see somebody running around with a chainsaw. Through it all, make sure to hop on board a hay ride, experience zombie paintball, and take a few shots with the corn cannon.
🍂 UnCommons
UnCommons has a new weekend fall festival this year — the UnCommon Harvest, where guests are welcome to buy, paint, and even bowl pumpkins 🎳 There’s also live music and Halloween movies on select nights (which require a separate RSVP to secure a space).
🐴 McKee Ranch
The McKee Ranch Foundation covers nearly three acres near the Silverton casinos, welcoming guests daily to check out the pumpkin selection and feed the animals who live on site. Kids and teens will be especially fond of the pony rides, train, corn maze, snacks, and face painting.
