True, fall in Miami doesn’t involve the typical changing of leaves, crisp air, wooly sweaters and pumpkin spice galore. But that doesn’t mean we can’t indulge in a little bit of fall fun with traditional activities! And is there anything more autumnal than pumpkins?
The versatile orange fruit is a total staple of fall — they’re in our lattes, pies and cookies — which is why we’ve put together a list of the best pumpkin patches in the city, so you can pick out the perfect Miami gourd!
To celebrate fall, this family-owned farm holds an annual Harvest Festival featuring all kinds of traditional activities and a whimsical pumpkin patch. Come pick your gourd and enjoy the city’s only 5-acre corn maze, mouthwatering BBQ, blooming sunflower fields for your fall photos, hayrides and more!
