Happy Sunday! I still can’t get over the fact that is summer almost a thing of the past and that fall is here (it doesn’t feel that way with this weather), that is until this weekend. My family had the opportunity to visit the Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch this weekend and we had such a great time.
We are big fans of the Irvine Park Railroad and love their seasonal events! I have to say that the pumpkin patch is my absolute favorite event. Every single member of my family had fun this weekend. Admission to the pumpkin patch is free (you do however have to pay an admission fee to enter the park $3-$5, although we didn’t pay a fee because we arrived around 4pm). One of my favorite things about this pumpkin patch are the very reasonable price for pumpkins and activities. You can find a pumpkin to fit your budget, from $3 for a smaller pumpkin to $22 for a super duper large one.
It’s also the perfect place to take Halloween pictures and also spend quality time as a family. We stayed until closing and had such a good time. We went on a hay ride, walked through a giant hay maze, toured a haunted house, the kiddos took part in the John Deere tractor races and finally no visit is complete to Irvine Park without a train ride. We had so much fun and I promise that you will too. The best part is that admission to the pumpkin patch is free as well as touring the Haunted House, Hay Maze and dozens of cute picture stands. The patch also features carnival games, face painting and so much more!
The Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch runs from September 19th to November 1st. It’s open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm on weekdays and 10am to 6pm on weekends. Pack a picnic and head down soon before the crowds arrive. I recommend heading there early in the day or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds.
Irvine Park Railroad has graciously offered a 15 pack of tickets for one lucky family to enjoy at the pumpkin patch. It’s a $60 value and sure to make your visit to the patch extra special. To enter all you have to do is leave a comment under this post. You have until next Saturday night to enter. Good luck and head to Irvine Park Railroad for a fantastic time.
Almost forgot, I extended the Zula Patrol giveaway until next Friday. You still have time to enter if you have not already done so!

How fun! I love things like that and I love your blog.
I too LOVE all of the events that Irvine Park puts on. We have gone every year! And have taken a picture of my son in front of the pumpkin growth chart. Its amazing to see the change. I also see there are a few new things this year. Can't wait to go!

We had so much fun on the Christmas train…I know this will be a blast! Thank you for another great tip.
We love the Irvine Regional Park–the acres and acres of open space and big old trees, the zoo, and of course the train rides. We've never made it out to the pumpkin patch–I didn't know it was free. I'd love to win those train tickets, but I think we'll try to hit the pumpkin patch no matter what. Thanks as always for all the great info about SoCal family activities and events!
We would love to go. We have three litle girls that would have so much fun! We're definetly going to take them!

Love your blog. Always looking for fun day trips for the family. This one looks like a winner. Thanks! –San Gabriel, CA
Our son, Aaron, loves the train ride there and the park is a family favorite. We'll definitely have to stop by and visit the pumpkin patch, especially since it is free. Thanks for sharing this great idea.
I can't wait to go! First I have to find costumes for my kids…
what more could anyone ask for, autum, trains and pumpkins. sounds like a good place to take the family.
My family loves Irvine Park. It has been awhile since we have visited, but the train is great, and my kids love to search for turtles while on the train.
Just left a post but I am not sure how to be contacted
Monica @ casasandbergmd@att.net. We would love free tickets in today's economy, anything can help create great family memories.
