The fall season is upon us. Everything is being pumpkin spiced and it’s getting cooler…relatively speaking, we live in Arizona. Instead of going to the neighborhood grocery store which is dull and lackluster, take out the family to a pumpkin patch.
There are plenty of pumpkin patches in Arizona along with festivals for you to go to this fall season that offer more than taking home a pumpkin.
Schnepf Farms
Located at 24610 S Rittenhouse Rd in Queen Creek, Schnepf Farms is an awesome pumpkin patch festival in Arizona. Not only do they have a huge pumpkin patch to rummage through, they have plenty of shows, events, rides, and things to do while you’re there.
Schnepf Farms is also featuring their newest attraction, Outbreak. Load up on a wagon mounted with paintball guns and unload on hordes of zombies as you travel the grounds. Check out the Groupon here.
