DUBLIN, CALIFORNIA – Pumpkin patches are a huge deal in the Bay Area this time of year! The Bay Area Telegraph has been visiting local pumpkin patches for over a decade, and we shared some of our favorites here.
But we have to hand it to the city of Dublin–they’re holding one of the coolest, most creative pumpkin patches we’ve seen all year.
The City of Dublin’s Floating Pumpkin Patch returns to The Wave on Saturday, October 25, letting kids hop into the indoor pool, swim among a sea of pumpkins, and pick one to take home. Expect swimming, decorating, games, and more.
