Pumpkin Patch Tours & Fall Experiences in California
13 guided fall experiences you can book ahead in California.
These are 13 bookable fall experiences in California — guided tours, hayrides, orchard visits and harvest events run by tour operators and sold through Viator. They're scheduled activities with a set start time, not farms you drop in on.
If you'd rather just visit a farm and pick your own, we track 225 pumpkin patches in California with addresses, hours and directions — no booking needed.
Experiences on this page are bookable through Viator, a third-party marketplace. These are affiliate links — if you book through one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We don't run, staff or support any of these tours, and we don't set their prices or availability; that's between you and the operator.

Booking a fall experience in California
October is the busiest month of the year for every one of these, and the weekends before Halloween are the busiest days of that month. Anything with a fixed departure — a guided tour, a scheduled hayride, an after-dark walk — is the kind of thing that sells out first, so booking earlier in the season is the difference between going and not.
Availability, pricing and departure times are set by the operator and change through the season, so check the current details on the booking page before you plan around one. We don't set or track them.
