Gilly's Pumpkin Patch 2026

Gilly's Pumpkin Patch returns to Castle Rock for its 2026 season, open Fridays and Saturdays only across four weekends: September 25-26, October 2-3, October 9-10, and October 16-17, from 9am to dark. The family-run patch sits on one of Castle Rock's original homesteads, built in 1889, with cottonwoods turning gold overhead. Walk the patch and pick your favorite specialty pumpkins, let the kids play with family activities, and enjoy fall treats. Admission is $5 per person or $20 per family; children 3 and under are free. Stop for family photos or schedule a private photo session at the patch.

We went on opening Saturday, September 26. Sheep, bunnies, ducks and chickens, Marie's Maze, Corinne's Corn Pit, pumpkin checkers, toy-axe throwing, a giant slide and fresh sourdough at the Gilly's store.
