Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch

Irvine Park Railroad’s 3rd annual pumpkin patch is fun for the entire family! Children and adults are invited to the pumpkin patch which opens daily at 10:00 am through November 2nd. This place is fun the rest of the year, but around Halloween is my children’s favorite time.

This year’s pumpkin patch activities include: Train rides, hay rides, a haunted house, a hay maze, pony rides, a moon bounce, face painting (weekends only), picture stands, great food and of course, The Orange County Zoo.

Best of all there’s the pumpkin patch located in Locomotive Loop just behind the train station. Thousands of pumpkins, in all shapes and sizes, fill Locomotive Loop.

Admission into the pumpkin patch is free. Prices for all other activities vary. Visit http://www.irvineparkrailroad.com/ for additional information and costs.

Children ages 12 and under can wear their Halloween costume to Irvine Park Railroad on Saturday, October 25th. Every child that wears a costume on that day will receive a free goodie bag filled with Irvine Park Railroad giveaways.

The Irvine Park Railroad pumpkin patch is open daily from September 20th through November 2nd. Hours of operation are as follows:

Weekdays 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Weekends 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
