Oh My Gourd! Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes & More Across Arkansas

Fall has arrived, and with the summer’s scorching temperatures finally loosening their grip on the state, Arkansans are gearing up to dive headfirst into all things autumn. Pumpkins are, of course, one of October’s biggest headliners, whether one is carving up Jack-o-Lanterns, baking pumpkin pies or placing gourds of various shapes and sizes into beautiful harvest-themed decorative arrangements.

With pumpkin-harvesting time comes another great fall tradition, as well: trips to local pumpkin patches for hayrides, corn mazes, seasonal treats and all manner of family fun. Farmers all over the Natural State are welcoming visitors to share in the state’s agricultural beauty while making lifelong memories. From pick-your-own pumpkins to haunted hayrides, from petting zoos to creative cornfield art, from picture-perfect fields of blooming sunflowers and zinnias to music, games and food aplenty, there is something for everyone to enjoy when it comes to fall in Arkansas — not to mention all those photo-ops.
