Still on the hunt for the great pumpkin? Gourd news, there are ample patches open for business across the Tampa Bay area.
Here’s the pickin’s:
The Seminole Heights Great Pumpkin Patch, Seminole Heights United Methodist Church
“Tampa’s largest pumpkin patch” hosts Friday movie nights, pumpkin painting, and costume events. Proceeds from the funky neighborhood patch go back into the community, and it closes on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Hyde Park Village Pumpkin Patch, Village Circle
The patch benefits the Humane Society of Tampa Bay + hosts weekly story time with Mother Boo, pet adoption events, and demure family photo ops. Take your pick through Monday, Oct. 28.
Make sure to bring the pup along to Gallagher’s for a photo op.

Gallagher’s Pumpkins & Trees, St. Petersburg
Head to Gallagher’s to find the perfect pumpkin, mum, and a bunch of straw to festoon your porch with autumnal flair + grab seasonal photos. Heads up: The patch may look different this year after sustaining damage in Hurricane Helene.
Raprager Family Farms, Odessa
Located just 25 minutes north of Tampa, Raprager’s serves up old school fall vibes with petting zoos, axe throwing, hay rides, a massive haunted barn, hay chute slide, corn pit, inflatable maze, pumpkin painting, huge market, and more. Buy tickets to the Fall Pumpkin Festival & Haunted Farm online.
DK Farms & Gardens, Largo
Head to the family-friendly spot to find a pumpkin, feast on fall flavors, pet zoo animals, take a tractor ride, mine for gems, play mini golf, and snap a family photo. Or leave the kids at home on select nights, when Fearville offers scares for the most ghoulish time of year.
