Fall farm season has officially arrived across Toronto and the GTA. Pumpkin patches are opening, corn mazes are ready to get lost in and wagon rides are heading back into the fields.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin or just want an excuse to spend an afternoon outside, these are some of the best pumpkin patches near Toronto to visit in 2026.
Before you go: Several farms use ticketed admission, timed entry or advance online booking. Popular weekend dates can also sell out. Check the farm’s website before leaving, especially if you’re visiting on a weekend or around Thanksgiving. Downey’s, for example, requires tickets to be purchased online in advance. Other farms recommend reservations or offer cheaper pricing when you book ahead.
