If your social media feed is bursting with warm-hued decorating ideas, at-home PSL recipes, and autumn day trips, you know for sure that fall is on its way!

This nostalgic fall tradition is alive and well in the Cowboy State! At each of these festive pumpkin farms in Wyoming, you’ll find tons of gourd-geous ‘kins ready to be picked, baked, carved, and decorated all season long. But that’s not all these pumpkin patches in Wyoming offer! Often, these fun family destinations offer a bevy of autumn treats, photo-worthy corn mazes, and numerous other festive activities as well.
