Pumpkin spice and everything nice, that's what October's are made of... So with that in mind, let's talk about all of the wonderful places to go to enjoy the festivities! There are many pumpkin patches and if you're looking for a spooky thrill, Denver can accommodate that as well! Here is a list of great local places to visit with friends and family.
1. Something for the whole gang at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield farms. http://www.botanicgardens.org/events/special-events/pumpkin-festival -The gardens’ massive corn maze twists and turns across eight acres, with a mini-maze for smaller kids and great bird watching opportunities.
