Every fall season, Southern California residents flock to pumpkin patches to make the most of the season. The well-known Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch, which is located in Yucaipa, stands out amongst the rest due to its size; no other patch in Southern California can compare to what it has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a unique bite to eat, the perfect place for that Instagram-worthy picture, a great place to bring your family, or simply a place to spend your weekend, Live Oak Pumpkin Patch has something for everyone.


Attractions

One of the reasons for why this pumpkin patch is so beloved is due to its well-executed aesthetics. Visitors don’t have to worry about struggling to find a nice background for their family photo or selfies when they’re surrounded by a beautiful atmosphere. It’s also important to mention that this patch has four separate and unique photo opportunities. Visitors have the option to snap a picture with the tractor, rocking horse, teepee, or rocking chair photo ops.


For those who prefer entertainment over nice backdrops for their pictures, Live Oak Canyon also provides live entertainment for their guests who visit during their weekend operating hours.

With seven choices of inflatables to jump in and eighteen classic mechanical carnival rides, visitors can be sure that they won’t be faced with the issue of not finding something to do for the duration of their stay.


There is also an additional ride that is exclusively available during their weekend operating hours. If you wish to ride the “bee train,” be sure to schedule your visit during the weekend.


As for tickets, general admission does include a few activities, but guests should expect to spend anywhere between three to eight tickets for every ride they wish to enter.


Games

For those who would rather win a prize than ride a carousel, there is also a variety of options that are offered. With ten unique games, visitors have the opportunity to bring forth their best efforts to win an array of prizes. All of their games are able to played by those who are three years of age or older, this fair prides itself on truly being able to be inclusive for the whole family. It’s important to note that games are not included in the price of admission, most of their offered games require eight tickets in order to play.


Food

One of the reasons as to why people flock to pumpkin patches is to have the chance to indulge in their favorite seasonal or typical fair foods, and Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch is no exception to this. Guests can expect to have over twenty dining and drinking options with a mix of both classic and unique treats.


The typical kettle corn, lemonade, funnel cake, and more are guaranteed to make an appearance at this year’s event, but there is so much more that is offered. Guests can even try out unique snacks such as freeze-dried treats if they desire something a bit more different than the standard or traditional offerings that these sorts of events offer.


Admission

If one wishes to visit, they should be prepared to only be able to purchase tickets at the front entrance of the pumpkin patch, the pricing of admission tickets also varies by the day and the hour.


Children's tickets start at eight dollars and can go for up to twenty-two dollars while adult tickets range between thirteen dollars and twenty-eight dollars. It’s important to note that children under two are able to enter for free.
