🎃 Pumpkin patches & Halloween activities in Miami
Every kid-friendly pumpkin patch, trunk-or-treat, fall festival and Halloween night event we could find across Miami-Dade and Broward, with real dates, real costs, and which ones are free.
Pumpkin patches & fall festivals
Open for several weeks, so they work for any weekend, and they're usually calmer than the one-night events.
Redland
The Berry Farm — Harvest Festival & Pumpkin Patch
📍 The Berry Farm
🕒 September 16 – November 15, 2026
Family-owned farm running its annual Harvest Festival with a pumpkin patch, the city's only 5-acre corn maze, blooming sunflower fields, hayrides and BBQ.
Parent tip: The corn maze is genuinely big — allow a full afternoon. Sunflower fields are the photo spot, so go earlier in the season before they fade.
Redland
Tinez Farms — Fall Festival & Pumpkin Patch
📍 Tinez Farms
🕒 September 18 – November 29, 2026
Annual fall extravaganza with pumpkins to pick, photo ops, a tubing slide, bounce house, cow barrel train and live music, plus the farm's animals.
Parent tip: Runs the longest of any Miami patch — right through late November — so it is the least crowded option if you go after Halloween.
Redland
By Brothers — Pumpkin Patch & Fall Fun
📍 By Brothers
🕒 Opens September 18, 2026 | Pumpkin parade every weekend
Redland farm with pumpkins, tractor rides, a corn pit, animal encounters, inflatable obstacle courses, and a pumpkin parade every weekend.
Parent tip: The weekend pumpkin parade is the thing to time your visit around — ask what time it starts when you arrive.
South Miami

A garden center transformed for fall: antique tractor-pulled hayrides through a scarecrow trail, paint-a-pumpkin craft, frozen apple cider and kettle corn. A new theme each week — Pepper Palooza, Tomato Fest, Tropical Fruit Celebration.
Parent tip: The $20 ticket bundles the hayride, pumpkin painting, cider, kettle corn and a hot dog or sandwich — so it is better value than it first looks. Check which weekly theme is running before you pick a date.

Before you go: a few honest notes
- Free trunk-or-treats run out of candy. The city events are free and popular. Arrive in the first 30 minutes or you'll be walking past empty trunks.
- "Haunted" means different things. Some events have a haunted house or trail that's too much for under-6s, even when the event is billed as family-friendly. Ask at the entrance.
- Costumes in Miami heat. Late-October afternoons still hit the high 80s. Bring water, and think twice about the full-body fleece dinosaur for a 4pm start.
- Dates shift. City events get moved or rained out. We re-check weekly, but tap through to the venue link before you drive out.
