Pumpkin Patches, Hay Rides, Mazes and More.

“There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin.” Linus – It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

The spirit of Halloween is alive in my neighborhood, and so begins our family’s quest for the great pumpkin, and all the fun that goes along with it (fun being the operative word here). So, we must pass by the overflowing bins of pumpkins at the local grocery stores, and head out to the pumpkin patch.

But which patch to go to? Here are four of our local favorites:

Bi-Zi Farms: Pumpkin Patch open to the public every Friday (2-5:30 pm), Saturday and Sunday (10 am-5:30 pm) through Halloween.  They offer Hay Rides, Cornfield Maze, Straw Bale Maze, Hay Bale Pyramid, Petting Zoo, Pumpkin Patch, Live Music on Saturday and Sunday, and the famous Pumpkin Launch. The Cornfield Maze is also open Friday and Saturday nights till 9:30 pm. Visit Bi-Zi Farms for more information, including an aerial view of their cornfield maze. (9504 NE 119th St, Vancouver; 360-574-9119)

Joe’s Place Farms: Pumpkin Patch open every day in October; Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, Sunday 10 am to 5 pm. Hay Rides, Corn Maze, Pumpkin Patch, Face Painting and more.
