After that, the pumpkin patch itself opens up to all who are interested in perusing 50 acres’ worth of homegrown round squashes to bring home. Depending on the day, pay anywhere from $18 to $21 for entry, which includes fun at the famous corn maze and rides like the Cyclone Swing or the Corn Flyer.
