Austin pumpkin patches

What to expect in Austin

3 of the 24 Texas patches we track are in Austin, spread across Bastrop County, Williamson County. 3 of them run a corn or crop maze, and 3 have farm animals your kids can get close to. 1 have their 2026 dates confirmed on the farm's own site.

Texas splits two ways, and it is worth knowing which half you are visiting. Most metro-area patches truck their pumpkins in and arrange them; what you are paying for is the festival, the backdrop and the activities, not a field someone harvested. West Texas is the exception — Floydada has called itself the Pumpkin Capital of the USA for good reason. Either way, heat is the planning problem rather than cold: go at opening or in the evening, which is why so many Texas farms run their mazes after dark.
