Oh My Gourd

Where to Pick Your Perfect Pumpkin in Houston This Fall

From Insta-ready pumpkin houses to hayrides and haunted trails, these Houston patches are gourd-geous picks for your autumn adventures.

By Sofia Gonzalez and Houstonia Staff October 3, 2025

It's fall, which means it's time to enjoy the Houston Pumpkin Festival and other autumnal activities.

HOUSTON’S WEATHER MAY NOT BE THE BEST indication of fall, but that doesn’t stop the city from getting into the seasonal spirit. As the triple-digit days fade (by Texas standards, of course), festive orange and yellow decor and seasonal gourds spill into storefronts, and fields across the region transform into autumn playgrounds. With hayrides and photo-ready backdrops, Houston's calendar is packed with cozy fall activities, and pumpkin patches top the list.

Here are Houston-area pumpkin patches to visit this fall, rain or shine.

Swing by on Saturday, November 1 for the Thrill at the Mill, when families can enjoy half-priced admission, plus pony and train rides, hayrides, concessions, and a lively vendor market.
