I can’t believe we are well into September and that means only one thing, fall is around the corner and so is Halloween! Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons and I think hands down Halloween is the funnest holiday. I love creating traditions for our family and heading to Irvine Park Railroad to pick a pumpkin and participate in the fun activities has now become a Halloween tradition for our family.


This year’s Pumpkin Patch activities include: Train rides, hay rides, a haunted house, a hay maze, pony rides, a moon bounce, carnival games, John Deere tractor racers, face painting, panning for gold,picture stands, great food and The Orange County Zoo.

There are plenty of places for photo opportunities and the pumpkin patch has great size pumpkins at a pretty reasonable price. We usually head there twice during the season.

We always have a great time riding the tractors, getting our faces painted, jumping in the bounce house and of course picking pumpkins.

Admission to the pumpkin patch is free as well as touring the Haunted House, Hay Maze and dozens of cute picture stands.

The Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch opens next Saturday, the 17th and runs until Halloween Day. The patch will be open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm on weekdays and 10am to 6pm on weekends.

We love the Irvine Park Railroad. We are so excited to take our kids (3 and 1) to the pumpkin patch this year and experience all the fun attractions.
I really need to have some family time on an outing. I work fulltime and am in school at night. My kids are busy with activities. If I win we will make this a priority.
Already a fan of Irvine Park on FB =) Could really use a family fun pack to take my kiddos. My son is now the perfect age to enjoy it. Hoping I win!
Every Halloween we celebrate my husbands birthday which happens to be on Halloween! I take our 3 kids to our local Pumpkin Patch and we get him pumpkins to carve. I’d like us to go this year so we can all do it TOGETHER
We love Irvine Park Railroad, the park itself is great and the train is so fun for the kids. The pumpkin patch is so great we went last year, so so fun!
Hi….. Thanks for the contest offering. My husband and I plan on taking our 4yo twins this year, along with 2 young moms and kids whose spouses/dads are serving in Afghanistan for our freedom. They feel alone and we thought we could help them out
We have never been to the Irvine Pumpkin Patch but have heard lots of good things about it. Looking at the pictutes from there, I know my kids would have a great time. We love going to new places and what a perfect way to kick off Halloween time with the kiddos!
My son is almost two and loves trains!! We take a drive almost everyday by a nearby railroad track and wait for a train! He repeats “choooo, choooo” over and over. We would love to visit Irvine Park Railroad!!!
We love the Fall season and pumpkins and harvest time. My son will love the tractor hay ride!
Last year I took my 5lb baby boy and his 2 older brothers. This year I can not wait to take my 22lb 1 year old.

We love the fall and what better way to kick it off with a trip to a pumpkin patch. My 6 year old twin boys love to choose the most unusual pumpkin. It will be more fun this year, too, because they have a new baby brother. The train ride, games and hay ride will top off the day!
We have been wanting to go for years! We’ve seen your blog about it the last couple of years and really want to go! Hopefully this year for sure! Thanks for the great info! 😀
I love taking my son to the Irvine Park Railroad. He wasn’t old enough at Halloween last year, so this will be his first time at the pumpkin patch!
Can’t wait to see the joy and happiness on my twin 18 month girl’s faces. All these new textures, colors, and a train ride too!
I haven’t been, but now that I’ve seen these pictures, I’d like to take my family there! Would love to win a prize pack to make it happen! Cheers!
