Pumpkin Patches Around West Chester

WEST CHESTER, PA — There aren't many days left in October, but there is still some time to get the best pumpkin out there at local pumpkin patches.

Many West Chester families enjoy an annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Fields often have free activities such as corn mazes, hayrides, and apple cider tastings.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin patch 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.

A Patch editor's favorite is Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs because of its creamery, serving delicious ice cream to visitors after they've toured the farm and picked their pumpkins.
