An 80-foot straw slide is the standout attraction at this Monument-area pumpkin patch with maze, hayrides, petting zoo, and limited Monday-Tuesday hours (9am-1pm) versus extended Wednesday-Sunday hours (9am-5pm); no website or phone is publicly listed.
Colorado Pumpkin Patch is located in Monument, roughly equidistant between Denver and Colorado Springs, and it is built around one distinctive feature: an 80-foot straw slide. That is not a kiddie playground slide; that is a real descent of loose straw on a steep slope, designed for older children and adults who want a genuinely exhilarating experience.
The research materials specifically call this out, which means it is likely the reason to visit. Straw slides are less common than mazes, hayrides, and petting zoos, which makes this a differentiator. If your group includes teenagers or adults, this is worth the drive. If your visit is mostly younger children, ask about the height and intensity before committing — this is not a gentle toboggan.
Wear closed-toe shoes. You are sliding down 80 feet of loose straw; shoes stay on and ankles need support.
Monday and Tuesday are 9am-1pm only — a four-hour window, not a full day. Wednesday through Sunday are 9am-5pm (full standard day). This unusual schedule suggests Monday-Tuesday are either lighter-traffic days or the farm does not run full operation those days. For families with Monday or Tuesday morning availability and limited time, those restricted hours work perfectly. For a typical weekend family outing, Wednesday-Sunday is your window.
This is the biggest operational challenge. Colorado Pumpkin Patch does not appear to have a website or a publicly listed phone number. To find out:
You will need to do a web search for the farm’s phone number (try searching “Colorado Pumpkin Patch Monument CO phone”) or look up local business listings. A quick call before driving saves frustration.
Halfway between Denver and Colorado Springs, this is a reasonable drive for either metro area (roughly 45 minutes each). If you are already traveling the I-25 corridor between the cities, stopping here makes sense. If you are driving from Denver or Springs specifically for a pumpkin patch, verify that the 80-foot slide and the specific date/hour are worth your drive time.
Monument sits at about 7,200 feet, higher than most of the Denver Metro. That means cooler temperatures and an earlier fall season. By late September, the weather is genuinely crisp, and by mid-October you are at risk of frost or even light snow. Bring layers and a jacket, especially for an early-morning visit or a late-in-the-season trip. The straw slide itself will be uncomfortable on a cold morning and potentially damp if there has been rain or dew.
Without a website or prominent phone number, budget 10-15 minutes before your trip to locate the farm’s contact info and confirm the 2026 schedule, hours, and pricing. This is not a drive-and-see operation; you need to know the hours and the plan in advance.
Research materials list hours as Monday-Tuesday 9am-1pm (limited) and Wednesday-Sunday 9am-5pm. Exact 2026 dates are not confirmed, but expect typical Front Range pumpkin season September through October. The limited Monday-Tuesday window means those days are for families with morning-only availability; Wednesday through Sunday gives you a full day option. Without a phone number or website, contacting the farm will require a web search or local inquiry.
Two to four hours, depending on which activities your group does. The 80-foot straw slide is the draw; mazes, hayrides, and the petting zoo extend the visit.
The limited Monday-Tuesday hours (9am-1pm only) likely means very light or no crowds, making those days ideal for families seeking to avoid peak-weekend traffic. Wednesday-Sunday crowds will follow typical weekend/weekday patterns.
Not documented. Expect on-site farm parking.
Not documented. The 80-foot straw slide and maze are active attractions that may not suit all mobility levels. Without a phone to call, contact the farm through a web search or local Directory Assistance to discuss accessibility needs before driving.
You need a confirmed 2026 schedule or phone contact before driving; no website or phone number is publicly listed. Also skip it if your group is very young (toddlers and preschoolers) — the straw slide is built for older kids and adults.
Monument is roughly halfway between Denver (45 minutes south) and Colorado Springs (45 minutes north). A larger regional fall outing could pair this patch with scenery on the Monument Valley Park loop in Colorado Springs or Monument Valley Park near Denver, though the patch itself is the primary draw.
Described in research materials as a major attraction. It is a slope of straw, not a playground slide — expect a real vertical descent that is exhilarating for older kids and adults, but potentially too intense for small children or anyone uncomfortable with heights.
Yes, but with a catch: Monday-Tuesday hours are 9am-1pm only, a four-hour window. This is a quick-stop option, not a full-day visit. Wednesday-Sunday is 9am-5pm (or close to it), giving you a full eight-hour window.
Not published online. The researched pattern is September through October, but exact dates require direct contact with the farm.
