An award-winning Sonoma County patch with 45+ pumpkin varieties, an 8-acre corn maze with multiple route options, and extended weekend hours, but 2026 dates have not been confirmed.
Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch is regarded as one of Sonoma County’s premier patches, with an award-winning reputation built on a combination of strong pumpkin selection and an 8-acre corn maze. The 45-plus varieties available mean real choice in pumpkins — whether you are looking for classic orange carving pumpkins, decorative gourds, or unusual specialty varieties, the size of the selection matters for serious pickers.
The 8-acre corn maze is substantial, with both short and long route options built in so that families with varying ages and patience levels can participate without everyone tackling the same challenge. That design choice keeps the experience accessible while still offering a real maze for people who want one.
The published hours are Mon-Thu 11am-7pm, Fri 11am-9pm, Sat 9am-9pm, and Sun 9am-8pm. The Saturday opening at 9am and close at 9pm gives the longest day of the week and explains why weekends are likely to be busiest. Friday extends to 9pm, while weekday closes are earlier in the evening.
However, the farm has not published confirmed opening and closing dates for the 2026 season as of late August. You will need to call (707) 331-6653 to confirm when the farm opens and closes this year — typically that is mid-to-late September through early November at Bay Area farms, but the exact dates matter for planning.
Forty-five varieties is a genuinely large selection, and it is one of the distinguishing features of a visit here. If you are serious about finding a specific type of pumpkin or exploring unusual varieties, the inventory justifies the trip. If you are just grabbing whatever is available, a smaller patch might be more convenient.
Sonoma County Octobers are typically warm, especially inland in the Santa Rosa area. Afternoons in mid-October can reach the high 70s or low 80s, so shade and water are practical concerns. The 8-acre maze offers some relief from direct sun, but bring water and consider timing your visit to avoid the hottest part of the afternoon if that is a concern.
Weekday morning visits may offer quieter access if your schedule allows, though the later 11am opening means you lose the early-morning cool. Weekend mornings, starting at 9am on Saturday and Sunday, capture the coolest hours of the day and the least crowds at opening time.
Hours are Mon-Thu 11am-7pm, Fri 11am-9pm, Sat 9am-9pm, Sun 9am-8pm, but the farm has not published opening and closing dates for 2026 as of late August. Call (707) 331-6653 to confirm when the farm opens and closes this season.
Three to four hours if you tackle the full corn maze and spend time picking. The 8-acre maze with multiple routes means you can adjust your time investment based on which path you choose.
Saturday opening at 9am with a 9pm close creates a 12-hour weekend day, likely to attract significant crowds. Weekday mornings (Mon-Fri opening at 11am) may offer quieter access if your schedule allows.
