Hill Country Pumpkins
Hill Country Pumpkins in Austin takes the top spot, rated 5.0 out of 5 from 469 reviews.
9600 US-290, 78736
Hill Country Pumpkins is ranked #1 on this list, located at 9600 US-290, Austin, TX, 78736. It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 469 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near Austin. Its listing doesn't break out specific extra attractions beyond the pumpkin patch itself, so it's worth a quick look at the farm's website or a call ahead if you're hoping for something like a corn maze or hayride on top of the field.
Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for Hill Country Pumpkins yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. Most pumpkin patches share a similar core visit regardless of what's formally listed: a field or lot of pumpkins priced individually or by weight, sometimes reached by a short wagon ride, with an extra attraction like a corn maze or animal area running at many farms in season. What's actually open on a given day depends on the week and the weather, so the listing above is a starting point rather than the full picture.
Hours aren't listed for Hill Country Pumpkins in our data. Most pumpkin patches run daily or weekends-only from mid-September through the first days of November, but the surest way to know is to call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive out. Admission pricing isn't listed for Hill Country Pumpkins either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. Payment methods aren't listed, and a meaningful share of family-run patches are cash-only for field admission and wagon rides even when the farm store takes cards — bringing some cash as backup avoids an awkward trip back to the car at the gate.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for Hill Country Pumpkins can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
Hill Country Pumpkins sits in Scenic Brook Estates County, near Austin, TX, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pumpkin patch to visit for Halloween in Texas?
Based on rating and review volume, Hill Country Pumpkins ranks first among the pumpkin patches we track in Texas, with a 5.0-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its full listing for hours and directions.
When's the best time to visit before Halloween?
The two weekends before Halloween are the most popular — and most crowded — for picking a carving pumpkin, since the field selection is still strong but the pumpkin won't sit around rotting for weeks. A weekday morning in that same window gets you the same selection with a much shorter line.
Do pumpkin patches run out of pumpkins before Halloween?
The best-picked sizes and shapes can thin out in the final week, especially at smaller or heavily-visited farms. If a specific size or look matters for carving, visiting earlier in October is the safer bet than waiting for Halloween week itself.
Can I pick a pumpkin and do other Halloween activities the same trip?
Often, yes — many pumpkin patches also run a corn maze, hayride or haunted attraction on the same property, so it's worth checking the feature tags on each listing above before you go if you want to combine picking a pumpkin with other activities in one visit.
Are these pumpkin patches busy on Halloween weekend?
Generally yes — the final weekend before Halloween is the busiest of the season at most farms. If a quieter visit matters more than picking on the exact weekend, a weekday or the first half of October is usually a calmer option with the same farm.
