Top 5 Sonoma County Family Halloween 2026 Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes. In Sonoma County, Halloween season is firmly rooted in farm country. Petaluma and Santa Rosa have distinctive pumpkin destinations where families can spend hours on corn mazes, animal encounters, tractor rides and fall food rather than rush between temporary pop-up events. Our five choices cover both relaxed younger-child visits and a separate after-dark fright attraction for older teens. All operate as seasonal farm attractions in 2026, with costs and age guidance varying by site.

Editorial review: October 10, 2026. Dates and ticket rules can be revised, and weather may affect outdoor events. This is an editorially selected guide, not a reader-voted list; visit official organizer pages before making travel purchases.

Our 5 family-friendly Halloween and harvest picks

1. Petaluma Pumpkin Patch and Amazing Corn Maze

Location: Petaluma — 450 Stony Point Road. 2026 dates: September 25–October 31, 2026.

A beloved farm-oriented Halloween season outing with homegrown pumpkins, an enormous corn maze, small-animal experiences and rides. The farm confirms its 2026 opening, while the city’s visitor organization notes additional activities during October. Daytime is ideal for little kids; older family members may want to explore the larger maze after dark on scheduled nights.

2. Pronzini Farms Pumpkin Patch

Location: Petaluma — 3795 Adobe Road. 2026 dates: Open daily in October 2026; hours depend on weekday.

This farm excels at variety. Kids can try a hay tower, playgrounds, animal areas, corn pit and tractor-related activities, with weekend live music and food. The operator lists separate admission and paid punch-card attractions; families should check which rides are included to avoid unexpected expenses.

3. Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch

Location: Santa Rosa — 5157 Stony Point Road. 2026 dates: September 26–October 31, 2026; shorter Halloween-day hours.

For bigger activity days, this farm offers an extensive corn maze, jump pillows, hay rides, apple blasters and animals. Its operator lists tiered passes rather than one universal ticket. The farm says it will close at 6 p.m. on October 31, so do not plan an evening arrival on Halloween itself.

4. Mickelson Pumpkin Patch

Location: Petaluma — 5495 Redwood Highway. 2026 dates: Fall 2026 season, including October; confirm daily hours.

A more playful pumpkin-patch outing with a tractor-pulled ride, hay maze, apple cannon and other activity options. Regional fall coverage confirms this 2026 attraction is operating into early November. Prices differ by activity; review the current calendar before taking the family.

5. Pronzini Farms Fright Night — Older Teens

Location: Petaluma — Pronzini haunted village. 2026 dates: Friday and Saturday nights throughout October 2026, 7–10 p.m..

If your family includes older teens, Pronzini offers a guided nighttime haunted tour in addition to its daytime pumpkin attraction. The farm recommends Fright Night for ages 12 and older, lists a separate admission fee and suggests reservations. Younger children should stick with daytime activities.

How to plan your family outing

Petaluma’s farm attractions can be close enough to pair, but each has its own ticket structure. If your family has toddlers, select daylight pumpkin picking and petting zoos rather than nighttime horror tours. A dark corn maze can be disorienting; bring lights and close-toed shoes and check farm access restrictions.

Check hours, accessibility, costume policy, age limits, weather updates and ticket availability. Some stops are daytime harvest venues rather than Halloween-night trick-or-treat events, and some have admission charges or add-on fees.
