Frequently asked

What kinds of fall festivals and pumpkin patches for kids are on in NYC?

NYC Parks and GreenThumb harvest fairs, farm pumpkin patches and library fall-crafts drop-ins make up most of the calendar, alongside a handful of studio harvest-themed classes.

Are these events free or ticketed?

Park and garden harvest fairs are free; farm pumpkin patches are usually ticketed by the carload or per child. Free listings are flagged on every card.

Do I need to book ahead?

Library and park events are drop-in; farm pumpkin patches fill up on fall weekends, so reserve a time slot ahead rather than showing up unannounced.
