Twin Cities' most-reviewed patch with hayrides and kids play area; no 2026 dates published, but 299 reviews signal strong family appeal and operational consistency.
Lendt’s Pumpkin Patch is the Twin Cities’ most-reviewed pumpkin patch by a large margin: 299 reviews across aggregators. That volume reflects a family-focused operation that has earned strong loyalty through consistent execution. Hayrides and a kids play area are the core attractions alongside straightforward pumpkin picking.
This is not the largest patch. It is the most-visited and most-trusted by local families. People review farms they return to. 299 reviews over many seasons means Lendt’s has built a reputation for reliability, quality, and a family-friendly experience. It is a destination for northeast metro families, not a one-time novelty.
That loyalty also means you should expect crowds, especially on weekends and holidays.
Most u-pick patches offer no activities. Lendt’s added hayrides and a dedicated kids play area, which extends the visit beyond “pick a pumpkin and leave” to a 2–3 hour outing. Hayrides especially appeal to families with younger kids—a tractor-pulled ride through fall landscape is a classic experience.
Whether these are included with general admission or cost extra is not specified. Call 612-393-8404 to confirm pricing structure.
Lendt’s is in Wyoming, Washington County, roughly 20 minutes northeast of downtown Minneapolis. It is accessible for a half-day family outing from much of the metro, but not as close as some metro patches. Pinehaven Farm is also in Wyoming, so families could theoretically choose between the two large operations in the same area.
Weekday visits are dramatically quieter than weekends. The farm’s appeal to families means weekdays still see traffic, but nothing compared to Saturday/Sunday crowds. If your family can manage a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon visit, do it. You gain a vastly better experience for the same cost.
Early September also spreads crowds compared to mid-October peak season. If possible, prioritize early-September weekday visits.
2026 specific dates, hours, and pricing are not confirmed. The farm’s typical operating pattern (likely late September through October, weekend and weekday hours) is standard, but the actual 2026 calendar matters. Call 612-393-8404 a few days before your trip.
Parking capacity, shade, restroom facilities, and weather shelter are not specified. Assume standard farm operations. Bring layers and plan for Minnesota weather variability.
Lendt’s is explicitly built for families with young kids. If you have toddlers or early elementary-age children, this operation has thought through their needs. If you’re looking for a sophisticated adult farm experience or a quick u-pick, the smaller operations may better suit you.
High review count reflects that this farm executes its family mission consistently and well.

Lendt's is in Wyoming, Washington County, same area as Pinehaven Farm (also a major patch). Families could theoretically visit both, though back-to-back visits would be exhausting. More realistic: combine one patch with a nearby park or short hiking trail.
299 reviews (the highest in immediate Twin Cities metro) suggest strong repeat-customer loyalty. Hayrides and a kids play area are the main attractions alongside u-pick pumpkins. It is family-focused and well-established.
Weekends will be busy given the high review volume and popularity. Weekday afternoons are genuinely quieter and offer better value for the experience. If you must visit on a weekend, arrive early (by 10 am) or later (after 4 pm).
