We LOVE fall here at LAKE COUNTRY FAMILY FUN! Maybe it is the costumes, maybe it is the crisp air, the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors before it becomes frighteningly cold….whatever it is, we just love it! And what’s fall without pumpkin farms and pumpkin patches?
Southeast Wisconsin Pumpkin farms are all over and such a great family adventure. We have compiled our list of over 30 fun pumpkin patches and farms in Lake Country, Waukesha County, and all over Southeast Wisconsin (even one in IL)! We hope you enjoy this guide and have fun making memories with your children. For more fall fun, make sure you check out Lake Country Family Fun’s other FALL GUIDES TO FUN!
