Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes in Tampa Bay

It’s finally fall, y’all! We are sharing our TOP PICKS of must-experience pumpkin patches and corn mazes in Tampa Bay to get you into the spirit of the season.

Keep in mind, in some cases, you may need to buy an advanced ticket online (and buying a pumpkin patch pumpkin is often extra). Since a pumpkin patch is an open-air event, it’s a great option for families looking for a safe way to celebrate the season.

There are two sections to explore on this page:
