Best Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes & Fall Festivals Near Colorado Springs in 2026 🎃

Fall in Colorado Springs is officially here.

The leaves are changing, mornings are getting chilly, pumpkin spice has taken over approximately 97% of the population — and it’s time to figure out where we’re going to pick pumpkins.

One of the things I love about living in Colorado Springs is that you don’t have to drive hours into the mountains to have a great Colorado fall day.

We’ve got pumpkin patches, hayrides, farm animals, fall festivals, corn mazes and plenty of opportunities to take approximately 47 photos before finding the ONE where everybody is looking at the camera.

So grab a sweatshirt, a hot coffee and maybe a kid or two.

🍂 Why I Love Fall in Colorado Springs

This is the kind of stuff that makes living here so much fun.

Yes, we have Pikes Peak.

Yes, we have Garden of the Gods.

And yes, our scenery is pretty hard to beat.

But it’s also the little local traditions — pumpkin patches, neighborhood festivals, local farms, Saturday events and ridiculous coffin races — that make Colorado Springs feel like home.

And that’s something I always encourage people to think about when they’re considering moving to Colorado Springs.

You’re not just choosing a house.

You’re choosing the community and lifestyle that comes with it.
