Best Georgetown-Area Pumpkin Patches 2020

GEORGETOWN, D.C. — Along with crisp air and turning leaves, a fall tradition for many families is a visit to a local pumpkin patch. And while the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has caused some of the region's pumpkin patches to modify how they operate, quite a few will be open this fall. We have hours, attractions and activities as the pumpkin-picking season ramps up.

In many cases, coronavirus precautions have merely changed — not shut down — area pumpkin patches and their entertainment options. Below is a list of some of our favorite pumpkin patches near Georgetown, D.C. If we missed your favorite pumpkin patch, be sure to share it with readers in the comments section.
