These are the days we wait all year for…

The warmth of the sun against a cool fall breeze. Giggles and laughter carrying across the pumpkin patch. Little hands searching for just the right pumpkin. Rosy cheeks, muddy shoes, warm treats… nowhere else you really need to be.

If you’re like us, these are the moments that make fall feel like fall!

…minus the pumpkin spice (for us, that stuff is gross 😂)

So, where will this fall take you?

We’re sharing 5 pumpkin patches from our 2026 Wisconsin Fall Destinations Guide to add to your October adventures. Swipe through to discover them all.

We got a little behind-the-scenes tour at Pleasure Valley Pumpkins, and I have to say… this is a fun one to add to your fall list. 🎃

Pleasure Valley Pumpkins in Adell is one of the farms featured in our TGVG 2026 Wisconsin Fall Destinations Guide, and when we stopped by to deliver their Fall Destination sign, they generously took some time to show us around and give us a preview of everything they’ve been getting ready for families this fall.

One of the things that surprised me most? They grow more than 54 different varieties of pumpkins on the farm! So while you can absolutely find the classics, there are so many different colors, shapes and varieties to look for. I think half the fun would be wandering through and seeing what you can find.

And new this year: a Mac N Cheese pumpkin. 🎃 I have a feeling that one is going to be a favorite with the kids.

There’s plenty more happening around the farm too, with hay wagon rides, a corn maze, sunflowers, petting zoo, train rides, jumping pad, mini golf, corn cannon, scavenger hunt and more.

We really appreciated getting a peek at the farm before the season got underway, and we’re excited to have Pleasure Valley Pumpkins as one of our 2026 Wisconsin Fall Destinations!
