Birmingham Pumpkin Patch Guide: Where To Enjoy The Rest Of Fall

BIRMINGHAM, AL — The coronavirus has forced us to make some hard changes in our lives but thankfully we can still safely enjoy outdoor activities, like going to the pumpkin patch, in Alabama.

While a visit to the pumpkin patch will surely look different in 2020 owing to the pandemic, you can still enjoy the outdoors at several area pumpkin patches. Many pumpkin patches, like local businesses across the country, have had to adjust their hours, activities and methods of operation.

If you plan on visiting an area pumpkin patch, remember to take all the necessary precautions and double check local health guidelines, hours and rules for nearby pumpkin patches, including whether you need to make a reservation.
