Pumpkin Patches & Fall Festivals near me in Orlando, FLOrlando, FL

Which pumpkin patch fits your family

Pick based on how much time you have. Club Lake Fall Festival is a half-day outing with a corn maze, hayrides and farm-style games, so it suits families who want a full fall experience. Painted Oaks Academy is best for animal lovers, with pony rides, a petting zoo and hayrides, plus a bigger festival on weekends. St. Luke's is a quick stop when you mainly want to choose pumpkins and take a few photos. It is set up behind Building C by the back soccer fields on the church campus, and pumpkins range from minis to big carving sizes.

When they are open

These patches run for a few weeks each fall. Club Lake is open Friday through Sunday from late September through the start of November, Painted Oaks opens daily through October, and St. Luke's runs through the second half of October. Dates and hours change each year, so check each official page for this year's schedule before you drive out. Weekday visits are calmer, especially at Painted Oaks, while weekends bring the extra festival activities. Club Lake's activity area closes an hour before the rest of the grounds, so arrive early if the maze is the main goal.

What to bring

Even in October, Central Florida afternoons can be hot, so bring water, sunscreen and hats. Closed-toe shoes help in corn mazes, hay and around animals. A wagon makes it easier to haul pumpkins and tired toddlers back to the car. Bring hand wipes for after the petting zoo and pony rides. If you plan to take photos, morning and late afternoon light is softer, and crowds are usually lighter early in the day. Pack a bag for gourds and minis so they do not roll around the car.
