There are quite a few aspects of fall people love - cooler temperatures, beautiful gold and orange colors taking over the foliage, and pumpkin spiced-flavored everything, to name a few. The biggest, however, seem to be pumpkin patches and corn mazes.

Throughout Northern Nevada, there are numerous popular farms that open their properties to the general public every fall season. They each offer several activities aside from pumpkin picking, including corn mazes, tracker rides, haunts and more.

In this post, I’m going to list six of the best pumpkin patches in Northern Nevada. In each listing, I’ll discuss their locations, operating dates/hours, prices, activities offered, parking situation, and other pertinent information. Let’s get into it!

1) Renner Farm - Smith Valley

A stack of pumpkins at a pumpkin patch farm in Northern Nevada.

Location: 2493 NV-208, Smith Valley, NV

Price: None listed

Operating: Tuesday - Sunday beginning September 27, 2025

Parking Available: Yes

Renner Farm in Smith Valley, which is just a short drive from Yerington or Gardnerville, respectively, is open year round and typically features a variety of fresh produce, honey and farm-raised eggs. In the fall, however, this family-operated farm opens its pumpkin patch and themed corn maze to the public.

The corn maze has a different theme every year and usually has some kind of challenge or mystery involved. They don’t list prices on their website but I have been there more than a few times and it’s typically just a few bucks per person. Corn maze hours are as follows:

  • Tuesday - Thursday: 12-5pm

  • Friday - Saturday: 12-9pm

  • Sunday: 12-7pm

Aside from the corn maze and pumpkin patch, Renner Farm also offers hay rides, baked goods for sale, an annual harvest party and in the past, they’ve offered an evening haunt version of the corn maze. No word on if that’s happening this year, though. Afterwards, be sure to stop and hike through nearby Wilson Canyon.

 

2) Corley Ranch - Gardnerville

A pile of multi-colored pumpkins on a Nevada farm.

Location: 859 US Highway 395 North, Gardnerville, NV

Price: $8 - $12 per person

Operating: Daily beginning September 27, 2025

Parking Available: Yes

The annual harvest festival at Corley Ranch officially begins on September 27 and runs daily between 10am and 5pm throughout the month of October, before concluding on October 31. General admission is $8 on weekdays and $12 on weekends.

Included with your admission is the corn maze, farm animal petting zoo, 9-hole mini golf, straw maze, pig races, hay slide and hay wagon ride. It does NOT include the giant sling shot ($1), train rides ($2), and pumpkins (costs vary by size).

Corley Ranch is one of the stand-out pumpkin patches in Northern Nevada as they offer several unique activities that most don’t. They also offer a variety of food vendors on the weekends, negating the need to leave early.

 

3) Lattin Farms - Fallon

Pumpkins laying in a grassy field on a farm.

Location: 1955 McLean Road, Fallon, NV

Price: $15.23 per person (combo ticket)

Operating: September 27 and select dates throughout October 2025

Parking Available: Yes

Lattin Farms’ festival harvest has been held in Fallon annually for years. They’re specifically known for their frustratingly challenging corn maze, where you could spend hours (maybe that’s just me) trying to find your way out.

Other than the corn maze (which is worth the visit all its own), Lattin Farms offers a huge selection of pumpkins, cow train rides, hayrides, and a craft fair. Unlike the other Northern Nevada pumpkin patches on this list, their fall festival is only on select dates in 2025. They are:

  • 9/27

  • 10/4

  • 10/11

  • 10/18

  • 10/24

  • 10/25

The majority of the activities are offered between 10am and 6pm, with the corn maze remaining open until 8pm. The craft fair features a variety of vendors offering unique and hand-crafted goods and food. You can pre-purchase combo tickets at their website.

 

4) Ferrari Farms - Reno

Location: 4701 Mill Street, Reno, NV

Price: Varies by activity

Operating: Daily beginning September 27, 2025

Parking Available: Yes

Nestled along the Truckee River, Ferrari Farms is a Reno landmark and are known for their pumpkin patch, sunflower fields, corn maze and seasonal events. Their pumpkin patch runs daily from September 27 to October 31, 10am-8pm (Sun - Thurs) and 10am-10pm (Fri and Sat).

Ferrari Farm doesn’t charge an admission fee. Rather, you simply pay per activity you choose. Prices are as follows:

  • Corn Stalks: $10

  • Hayride: $6 or $25 for up to five people

  • Corn Maze: $10

  • Corn Walk: $6

Additionally, food vendors are featured at the farm on select dates (you can view those and other events here). This includes Grindz, a popular coffee vendor which serves handcrafted, seasonal drinks. They’ll be present at Ferrari Farm every weekend throughout the season.

 

5) Andelin Family Farm - Sparks

Pumpkins resting next to a wagon and several hay bails on a farm.

Location: 8100 Pyramid Highway, Sparks, NV

Price: $13 - $18 per person (base price)

Operating: Wednesday - Saturday, beginning September 24, 2025

Andelin Farm is the mecca of Northern Nevada pumpkin patches, with over 30 attractions included with your general admission ticket. When you include their premium experiences, there’s literally something for everyone here.

Base price tickets are priced between $13 and $18, dependent on day, and include access to the pumpkin patches (yes, plural), wagon rides, bumpy buggies ride, mini zip line, slide mountain, digging sand pit, petting farm, straw bale maze, duck race, and more.

For an additional charge, you can also take part in their nighttime activities, which include Zombie Paintball and Corn Creepers, their haunted corn field, touted as Nevada’s largest haunted attraction with over a half-mile of scares!

Zombie Paintball starts at $15 and tops out at $27, dependent on day. Corn Creepers also starts at $15, but tops out at $32. Tickets for both (as well as general admission) can be purchased ahead of time online.

Price: $8 - $26, per person

Operating: On select dates throughout October 2025

Parking Available: Yes

Every year, the Virginia and Truckee line offers visitors train rides to a pumpkin patch in Virginia City, which is considered one of the most haunted cities in all of Nevada. Don’t worry, there won’t be any frightening spirits on this family-friendly outing.

Tours begin at the historic 1870 Train Depot. You can purchase tickets on site but to not risk the disappointment of them being sold out, it’s best to purchase them online (which you can do here). Tours depart at 11:20am, 1:20pm, and 3pm on the following dates:

  • 10/11

  • 10/12

  • 10/18

  • 10/19

  • 10/24 (5pm only)

  • 10/25

  • 10/26

This is a great activity in Virginia City that kids and adults alike will enjoy. While you’re in Virginia City, be sure to complete your visit by taking tours of Mackay Mansion and the historic Chollar Mine!

One day I threw on a backpack, grabbed a camera, hit the trail, and never looked back. After all, great things never come from comfort zones.
