There are plenty of autumn fun to be had at these local pumpkin patches in Dallas Fort Worth. Take a hayride, find your way through a corn maze, take advantage of all the photo opps and grab a pumpkin to carve at home.

Fall is finally here! Of course the temps are still soaring in the high 90’s, but I am dreaming of flannels, bonfires, delicious lattes and all things pumpkin spice.  

Fall is such a wonderful season and I am looking forward to the weekends filled with fun family activities in DFW.
