ASBURY PARK, NJ — The Asbury Park area is filled with fun family traditions in the fall: cool nights around a bonfire, the first sip of hot apple cider, and the annual trip to nearby pumpkin patches to find the best pumpkin.

Early October can be a great time to pick up pumpkins before the October rush. Plus, many pumpkin patches offer complimentary hayrides, corn mazes, and games for kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin farm is moderately safe, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before you go, it's best to call ahead to the field or check its website for guidelines and hours of operation.
