Though the weather in Orlando doesn’t always scream “fall,” there are plenty of quintessential cooler weather activities that will put you in the mood for the season: drinking cider, baking treats, and watching spooky movies. But, perhaps, the top must-do on the fall bucket list? Heading out to a pumpkin patch.
Let’s frolic through the field to find the greatest gourds at the best pumpkin patches in Central Florida.
There’s plenty more in store than just pumpkin picking when you visit Southern Hill Farms. They’ve created a one-stop-shop for all the fun fall activities from chowing down on mouth-watering apple cider donuts to zig-zagging your way through a 5-acre corn and, of course, picking out that perfect pumpkin to bring home for carving. Online purchase for admission is required prior to entry, and the Fall Festival officially kicks off on later this month on September 23.
