Pick Pumpkins For Just 50 Cents A Pound This Fall At The Marana Pumpkin Patch In Arizona

Nothing screams fall quite like visiting a pumpkin patch, and there's one in Arizona where you can enjoy all sorts of festivities without breaking the bank. Just outside of Tucson, the Marana Pumpkin Patch only charges 50 cents per pound for its pumpkins, so every member of the family can bring home their own perfect pick. There's also a corn maze, miniature train rides, and several other attractions that promise to keep the fun going from open until close.

If you're in search of some good old-fashioned family fun this fall, look no further than the Marana Pumpkin Patch & Farm Festival.

This month-long event runs from October 2 until the 31, with all sorts of festivities for all ages.

Good luck finding your way out of the corn maze - it's said to be among the toughest in all of Arizona.

The impossibly tall stalks grab at your clothes, encroaching on the path and making it difficult to see the way forward.

More than a dozen attractions, ranging from miniature trains to a petting zoo, promise to keep the whole family entertained all day long.

Almost everything is included in the price of admission, which means you can spend more on pumpkins!

Speaking of pumpkins, the real star of the festival is the sprawling pumpkin patch, which boasts a whopping 50 acres of pumpkins in every color, shape, and size imaginable.

Take a wagon ride out into the patch, then pick your perfect pumpkins for just 50 cents per pound. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better deal anywhere else in the state!

Other activities not included with ticket purchase are the zipline, pumpkin and apple cannon, and pony rides.

The fees for each are nominal, however, so you can enjoy a day of nonstop autumn thrills without breaking the bank.

Don't forget to take advantage of all the festive photo ops!

Whether you pose as a farmer or a pumpkin, there's no better way to commemorate your visit.
