Seattle Pumpkin Patches with Pony Rides

Pumpkins and ponies might be the most magical combination in a kid’s whole year. If you are hunting for a Seattle pumpkin patch with pony rides, this guide will help you find a patch your family will want to come back to every fall.

What makes a great family pumpkin patch

The photo-worthy patches all have a few things in common: real pumpkins on the vine, so kids get the thrill of finding and picking their own; pony rides and animals to turn a quick stop into an afternoon; space to roam without huge crowds; food and warm drinks for when little legs get tired; and easy parking with a short walk from the car to the patch. Fall weekends fill up fast, so going earlier in October, and earlier in the day, usually means a calmer, sunnier visit.

When to go

Around Seattle, pumpkin season peaks through October. The first two weekends tend to have the best selection and the nicest weather, so if pony rides are on your must-do list, do not wait until the week before Halloween.

Pumpkins, ponies, and lunch on a family farm

At Seattle Farm, our Pumpkins and Ponies event is exactly this kind of day. On the first and second Saturdays of October, families come to our 100-year-old farm in South Seattle to pick pumpkins, ride our homebred ponies, and enjoy lunch together, all just five minutes off I-5.

Because we are a working family farm and not a giant commercial lot, the day feels personal. Kids meet the ponies, wander the patch, and get that big-farm experience close to the city. It has become a fall tradition for a lot of Seattle families, and we would love for yours to be one of them.

Check dates and grab tickets at seattlefarmllc.com before they sell out. Pony rides are always the first thing to go.
