Haven’t stopped by Heritage Park’s annual Pumpkin Patch yet? You’ve got a week left to visit! It’s the most charming place to spend a fall day at La Verne, and here’s why:
1) Look at all those pumpkins
First and foremost, you gotta have pumpkins at a pumpkin patch, and Heritage Park’s got tons. They range from sizes miniature, small, medium, large and then super large, and they’re up for sale. You can get a good-sized gourd for as low as $3.
Â
2) It’s affordable
Ok, as college students, who doesn’t love affordable things? For $2, you can ride around the park in a tractor, and you can feed the animals at the petting zoo for another small fee. There’s also no entry fee, so you can just peruse the park without breaking the bank!
3) A cow, some chickens and pigs, oh my! (Plus more…)
THE PETTING ZOO! Enough said. Here you can get up close and personal with some of the cutest farm animals.
Â
4) The photo opportunities
You can make so many Insta-worthy memories here. The abundance of pumpkins, the piles of hay, the stringed lights twinkling in the moonlight…
Â
5) …and it’s close by!
