Wichita Region pumpkin patches

5 patches across 3 counties, 1 free to enter. The season opens September 1 at Grass Roots Farms Pumpkin Patch.

What to expect in Wichita Region

5 of the 15 Kansas patches we track are in Wichita Region, spread across Butler County, Sedgwick County, Thomas County. 4 of them run a corn or crop maze, and 2 have farm animals your kids can get close to.

Admission runs from $10 a head at Cox Farm up to $16.95 at Walter's Pumpkin Patch — a real spread, and one worth checking against how long you actually plan to stay. A paid festival only pays for itself if you use it for half a day.

One patch here is free to walk into, which makes it the low-risk option with unpredictable toddlers — you are not out $80 if the visit lasts twenty minutes.
