If it’s your family’s first time visiting KC Pumpkin Patch, or you’re hoping to make this year’s trip even better than the last, this guide will help you plan an easy, fun fall day from start to finish.

WHERE TO FIND US AND WHEN TO GO

KC Pumpkin Patch is located at 13875 S. Gardner Rd. in Olathe, KS.

The Fall Festival runs on weekends throughout October. Since hours and dates can shift slightly each season, it’s always a good idea to check the latest schedule at kcpumpkinpatch.com before you head out.

What Your Ticket Includes

One admission ticket gives you access to 60+ farm activities including favorites like the Mega Slide, rock climbing wall, Adventure Castle, Ninja Course, Tiny Town, duck races, barnyard ball, giant bubbles, roller slide, spider web, tire pyramid, trike track, and more!

Every paid admission includes pumpkin picking.

Pro-Tip: Let each child pick their own pumpkin so everyone gets that “perfect find” moment. Bringing a wagon helps, but you’ll also see plenty of pumpkins being carried back by little arms that underestimated just how big they chose.

A Simple Game Plan by Age

Every age group tends to find its own rhythm here, which is part of what makes the day so easy.

Little ones (under 5) usually spend most of their time in Tiny Town, on the trike track, at the duck races, or playing around the tractor area.

Elementary-age kids tend to head straight for the Mega Slide and Ninja Course and happily stay there for a while.

Tweens and older kids usually enjoy the rock climbing wall, low ropes course, and barnyard ball to keep things fun and active throughout the day.

What to Know Before You Come

October weather can change quickly, so layers are your best friend. Early in the season, sunscreen is still a good idea too.

Strollers are welcome throughout the farm, which makes getting around easier for families with little ones. Outside food and drinks aren’t allowed, but there are plenty of food and beverage options available on-site.

Tickets + Best Time to Visit

Buying tickets online to save over gate pricing.

Late mornings and early afternoons tend to be the busiest, while earlier hours feel a bit more relaxed and easy to explore; arriving mid-morning gives you the best experience before peak crowds arrive.
