Is there anything more representative of the fall season (outside leaves) than the pumpkin? Whether it’s sipping on a pumpkin spice late, digging into pumpkin pie, or re-reading instructions on how to properly carve a jack-o-lantern, the pumpkin is (literally, in the latter case) the face of autumn.

Leashed dogs are welcome to join the trip, and there’s a Mexican food spot right next door. Parking is limited on-site, so a weekday visit is your best bet for avoiding the biggest crowds.
