Both are a TON of fun, and worth it!
If you go to Lane, get their peach ice cream too! YUM.
This website is awesome!!! Thank you to whoever came up with this!!
Just wanted to update that I called Best Nursery and they said all thier fun stuff will start Oct 1 and goes through the 5 I think. They were awesome last year and I can’t wait to take my daughter again this year!
Sadly, Marengo Creek Farms and Meadowgate Farm are no long in open to the public.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for posting these! Yours was the first entry to pop up on Google when I looked up pumpkin patches for Columbus, GA. Now I can plan my field trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!
We’re so glad you found this resource helpful Chanisha. We hope you and your family have a great time at the Pumpkin Patch this fall!
your print screen button and popup window does not show the same as the web page. On the print screen page it does not have the name of the locations and has slightly different information than the actual web page.
Ok, that’s weird! Thanks for letting us know. We have revised this post numerous times over the last 4 years. It looks like the “print” version is picking up a previous edit. Next year we’ll post our top picks as a page instead of a post!
The Rock Ranch is awesome. It is about an hour and a half from Columbus, but well worth the drive. It is an inexpensive fun family place. We went and spent the entire day. It is fun for all ages!!! HIGHLY recommend it!!!
