It’s fall, y’all! And with that comes all of the fall-themed things: pumpkin spice lattes, scented candles, cooler weather (a bit), and best of all, pumpkin patches and fall photoshoots. Here I’ll share exactly where to find the best pumpkin patches in Dallas and the DFW area!
I should mention that while a few of these are Dallas pumpkin patches, most pumpkin patches are in DFW and the greater Dallas area. They’ll require some driving, but it’s worth it!
Since I’m local to Dallas, the beginning of this list features the best pumpkin patches near Dallas – these are spots that I’ve deemed “the best of the best” due to their photo-worthy natures! That means lots of pumpkins, good photo ops, and a fun environment.
After that, you’ll find other pumpkin patches in DFW – a full list of all the other pumpkin patches in the DFW area. They are organized from north to south (from Denison all the way to Alvarado).
This post has been updated with hours, pricing, and dates for the 2025 season!
(And if you need some inspiration for cute fall photoshoot ideas, check out this post!)
You can find a map of these DFW pumpkin patches at the end of this post.
(Also, I should note: I say pumpkin patch because that’s the closest term to what you’ll find, but these pumpkins aren’t growing out of the ground, farm-style. They’re already picked and placed in perfect photo locations.)
Let’s get to it!
1. Hall’s Pumpkin Farm (The Best Pumpkin Patch in DFW!)
2025 dates: October 3rd – November 2nd
Halls Pumpkin Farm is my favorite because it has it all! In short, it has:
- A pumpkin patch area where pumpkins are positioned for photo ops
- The best corn maze in Dallas (to me, at least!)
- Hayrides
- A petting zoo area that is great for kids and families
It’s located in Grapevine so it’s a bit of a drive from Dallas, but I think it’s definitely worth the drive! You can read my full review on what to expect at Halls Pumpkin Farm here!
I talk about admission, the best times to visit, and more in that blog post!
2. The Dallas Arboretum (The Best Pumpkin Patch in Dallas!)
2025 dates: September 20th – November 2nd
The Dallas Arboretum has what most would consider the best pumpkin patch in Dallas. (Directly in the city, at least!).
With over 100,000 pumpkins, squash, and gourds, you know this place is special!
The Dallas Arboretum has a themed pumpkin village every year. This year’s is “¡Mundo México!”! My favorite was the 2022 theme, “A Fall Fairy Tale,” though I also loved when they did A Wizard of Oz a few years ago!
Trust me, this spot is worth it! It’s one of Dallas’s best attractions year-round. You have to get online tickets in advance to reserve your time, which you can do here.
PS. I’m wearing this dress from Amazon in the above photos!
Tip: if you and your photographer/significant other/friend plan to visit the Dallas Arboretum at least twice this year (like for the Dallas Arboretum Christmas Market!), it’s actually cheaper to get an individual membership which allows you to also bring a guest!
With the membership, you can also sign up for “member morning walks” which allow you to arrive before the garden opens at 9 (though professional photography isn’t allowed until 9). Arriving early at least gives you time to find photo spots and take videos, though. And you’ll be ready before crowds show up!
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday from 9am–5pm
Price:
- Monday-Thursday: $21.95 for adults and 17.95 for ages 2-12
- Friday-Sunday: $25.95 for adults and $21.95 for ages 2-12

3. St. James Episcopal Pumpkin Patch
2025 dates: from October 4th – October 31st
This church makes for the coolest backdrop to your pumpkin photos! Definitely is one of the coolest pumpkin patches in Dallas.
The pumpkin scene here is simple and classic- great for photo ops. With rows of pumpkins scattered across their lawn and the church steeple in the background, it makes for very neat photos!
You can buy pumpkins using a credit card!
Hours:
- Sunday 11:30am – 7:00pm
- Monday-Thursday 1:00pm – 7:00pm

4. The Dallas Farmer’s Market
2025 dates: September 13th – October 31st
This isn’t your classic pumpkin patch, but it’s hard to create a pumpkin patch in Dallas when you’re in the middle of the city.
The Dallas Farmer’s Market does the best it can, and the results are awesome. They’ve got rows of pumpkins lining the center of the market and the perfect photo op at the entrance!
You’ll find pumpkins galore, with a bunch of different pumpkin varieties. And as a farmers market, you can buy all sorts of pumpkins here!
Tip: Their pumpkin display stays up during the week when there are no vendors (or people!) around in The Shed. That means if you can swing a weekday visit, you’ll basically have the whole place to yourself!
Yup- basically a pumpkin patch in Dallas all to yourself!

5. Ruibals Plants of Texas
2025 dates: September 10th – October 31st
Right next to the Dallas Farmers Market is another great pumpkin patch in Dallas! Ruibals is a large garden shop just a block away and they have pumpkins all over their large sidewalk area.
With cute photo spots like a red truck and a little shed in the middle of the pumpkins, Ruibals is another great pumpkin patch in Dallas. You’ll also get a neat city vibe to your pumpkin photos here since you can see the Dallas skyline!

Hi Jasmine, we’d love to have you come and visit our new pumpkin patch. Cobbins Family Pumpkin Patch in Sanger, TX.
That’s great to know that y’all are open! I’m adding you to this post. Hopefully we’ll be able to come visit this season!
Hi Jasmine!
Wanted to see if we could be considered to be listed as part of your extinguished list of Pumpkin Patches in the DFW area!
We have been contracted with the City of Irving to provide a pumpkin patch at one of their city parks every weekend in October.
This is very unique in the fact that Fritz Park actually has a fully operational petting farm in their park! We have managed it the past two summers and this is the first year we have introduced a Pumpkin Patch!
I myself have been in the children’s animal entertainment business for 18 years, and have worked events all over the state of Texas, so this is second nature to my company.
Our admission combo package includes pony ride, petting zoo feed cup along with a Magic Pumpkin Seed for the child to plant and grow their own baby pumpkin!
We opened this past weekend and the support we received from not only the community, but surrounding areas, was overwhelming. I encourage you to check out our link and also our FB page.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you!
That sounds like such a fun weekend activity, especially for kids! I’m adding you to my list now, thanks for letting me know!
