11. Bates Nut Farm
I am not sure if they are doing anything extra special for Halloween, but if for some reason you have never been to Bate’s Nut Farm during the Halloween season you are doing your family a terrible disservice (I don’t mean to be harsh, but it is true, no other pumpkin patch compares ((no offense to other pumpkin patches)). It is free to park and to play in the pumpkin patch (our city kids could have romped in the pumpkin patch all day). They have a great deal that for $8.50 you get to pick a good sized pumpkin, ride on the tractor hayride, and do the straw maze – not a bad deal at all) Also, check out the prices on their squashes – we always buy a couple butternut & spaghetti squashes – they are such a good deal!
