Make Fall Fun in a Subaru Ascent near Albuquerque, NM

Fall is finally here, and with the season comes pumpkin patches and all the other outdoor fun we loved as kids. Bringing your own children to a pumpkin patch isn't just about discovering the perfect one to carve into a jack-o-lantern. It's an excellent opportunity to head out with your family for a beloved tradition that's packed with many exciting activities. And when you own a Subaru Ascent near Albuquerque, NM, it's easier than ever to pack everyone up and make a day of it!

Pumpkin picking has become more popular than ever, especially with the ongoing confines of the COVID pandemic upon all of us. Thanks to the wide-open spaces and fresh fall air, most pumpkin patches will be open for your enjoyment.

Where to Go

Round up the kids, grab the hand sanitizer and jackets, and load everyone and everything into the family car. The three-row Subaru Ascent makes loading and unloading people and things a breeze and gets everyone there in comfort and style.  

Make an entire day of it at McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty, where you'll enjoy pedal karts, hayrides, a huge slide for the kiddos, finding your way out of a giant corn maze, and a whole lot more. Learn a little history while having fun in the western "town" and miner's shack, then mine for gemstones. Play with the critters in the petting zoo, watch the duck races, and stomp your feet in time to the music of the hillbilly band. Don't forget to find that special pumpkin before you're worn out from all the fun you'll have!

After a year's hiatus, the Galloping Goat Pumpkin Patch, located in Rio Rancho's Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho as part of the Galloping Grace Youth Ranch, is back and will be open every day in October from 9:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening. When you travel in your Subaru Ascent near Albuquerque, NM, you can bring the whole crew for family-friendly events like their roping arena, corn pit, pumpkin bowling, putt-putt golf, mud-pie kitchen, and more! And, you'll have lots of room in the cargo area for all the pumpkins your group picks, and the fall décor from the country store. Proceeds from this pumpkin patch support the galloping Grace Youth Ranch, where kids can learn all about ranch life and responsibilities and learn to ride horses, as well. 

More learning can take place while picking pumpkins and exploring the Maize Maze every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in October at the Rio Grande Community Farm. And on the Saturday before Halloween, the FarmStrong Fun Run and Fall Festival take the reins as a fundraiser for local charities. 

Wagner's Farm in Corrales is essential for an autumn excursion by offering fresh roasted chiles, seasonal fruits and veggies, and a pumpkin patch. There's also a one-acre corn maze, a vineyard, an apple orchard, hayrides, and a petting zoo. Playing games in the hay bale arrangements is sure to be a hit with the kids as well. You'll enjoy the farm into the evening hours with harvest bonfires and night mazes.
