I think if you read this site on a regular basis, you know that I’m a fan of Irvine Park Railroad. One of my favorite times of the year is Halloween and heading to Irvine Park Railroad to pick a pumpkin and participate in the fun activities has now become a tradition for our family. 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.

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 (weekends only), picture stands, great food and The Orange County Zoo. A new activity for this year is panning for gold. We haven’t had an opportunity to head out yet, but hope to do so sometime this month. Yay for Halloween!

The Pumpkin Patch is open daily at 10 AM through Halloween.  Make sure to check out their coupon page before you head out, for a day at the patch. For additional info head here.
