Fall in South Dakota is a time of great magic, isn't it? The air is crisp and cool. Sometimes, there's a breeze. The evening temperatures steadily drop from night to night, and before long, winter threatens to move in. It's a wonderful transitional season, and heaven knows we've got plenty of awesome traditions to enjoy upon its arrival each and every year. Take, for example, an absolutely huge pumpkin patch in South Dakota that sums up all the best things about the season in one amazing place: It's the Spearfish Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch, and it's an experience.
For more than a decade now, this awesome family farm in South Dakota has been hosting one of the greatest pumpkin patches in the country, among other things.
It's so much more than just a pumpkin patch - so much we can't list it all in one short article.
You'll find pumpkins, gourds, and squashes available as decoration options.
The farm also offers up decorative corn stalks, too, which are always an interesting addition to your autumn decor options.
The biggest draw is, however, the wonderfully enormous pumpkin patch, which features a seemingly endless field of pumpkins in a wide array of shapes and sizes.
...that, or the positively humongous corn maze. We say both.
Kids will love the pumpkins, the maze, and all the other fun stuff meant just for them.
There's a hay jump, a tire climb, a petting zoo... the list goes on. We suppose you'll just have to bring the family and experience it!
Admission is wonderfully affordable, at just $15 per person (13 and up).
Youths aged four to 12 years get in for just $10. Small ones three years and under are free.
You can pick as many pumpkins as you'd like; just keep in mind that they're sold individually and based on weight.
I, personally, will be looking for the single most exaggeratedly enormous pumpkin on the premises...
...maybe even this one.
