Cleburne pumpkin patch questions

What’s the best pumpkin patch in Cleburne?

For the biggest day out, Mainstay Farm has more than 30 attractions, rides, a winery and October nights open until 9pm, though Halloween itself closes at 6pm ($23.95 online). In town, Cleburne’s Pumpkin Patch on Boone Street has bounce houses, a kids’ train and a corn maze for $12. For small children, Country Critters in Alvarado includes pony rides and a pumpkin for every child, and Sunset Hill is $10 with a scarecrow hayride and chicken races.

Is there a pumpkin patch in Cleburne itself?

Yes, two. Cleburne’s Pumpkin Patch at 1250 Boone St opens on Friday 2 October and runs every weekend in October, and Mainstay Farm on West Bethesda Road runs its fall days from 20 September to 7 November.

Is there a free pumpkin patch near Cleburne?

Not one we’ve confirmed for 2026. The cheapest is Sunset Hill at $10, free on its teacher, military and first-responder weekends. For free patches, see our free pumpkin patch Dallas page, which includes Central Arlington’s patch, about 40 minutes north.

Can I bring my dog?

At Sunset Hill, yes: dogs on a leash or in your arms. Country Critters allows essential service dogs only, and Mainstay doesn’t say, so ask first. Cleburne’s Pumpkin Patch welcomed pets last season. Our dog-friendly pumpkin patches page lists every Texas patch that does.
