What you’ll find

A real patch, not a parking-lot pop-up

Every October the lot fills with pumpkins in all sizes and colors, grown for us in Half Moon Bay and laid out on hay bales along a walkway strung with lights and wooden cutout characters.

  • Pumpkins of every size & color Grown in Half Moon Bay โ€” from tiny to trophy-sized, plus white, green and warty ones.
  • Gourds & specialty pumpkins Decorative gourds and heirloom varieties for the porch and the table.
  • The jumpies Inflatable bounce houses โ€” the reason half of Marin’s kids drag their parents here.
  • Photo spots Hay bales, wagons, string lights and the hand-painted Ian’s sign โ€” bring the costume.
  • Parties & field trips Private birthdays and school groups hosted right at the patch. Details โ†’
  • Friendly, hard-working staff They’ll help you pick โ€” and carry the big one to your car.
Bounce houses

Jumpies & season passes

Kids bounce with a day pass, or grab the full-season pass and come back every day in October โ€” parents tell us it’s the best deal in Marin, and we don’t gouge on it. Day passes and the season pass are available at the gate, or call (415) 302-1142 for current pricing.

Local tip: coming before noon? Bring a towel and a change of clothes โ€” the jumpies can still be dewy in the morning.
