Fall is here, and if you were anything like me September 1st decorations start going up.
Pumpkin patches are fun for children, yes, and they can be just as much fun for families and adults as well.
This year I splurged and purchased the season pass to Andelin Family Farms. Every year we go, I wish we could spend more time or could go additional days.
Here is a list of some of the top local pumpkin patches in Reno and Sparks that we like to enjoy.

They replenish the pumpkins from their additional pumpkin patches, so they have more than enough. There is so much to do while at Andelin and additional things to add on when you get there. Our favorite thing to do is walk through the pumpkin patch and pick the best pumpkins and then take our time through the animals they have at the farm and last year they added two camels
