Every San Antonio pumpkin patch we could confirm for 2026, from five free patches, including Universal City’s and church patches in Alamo Heights, Windcrest and on Stahl Road, to farms in Bulverde, New Braunfels, Seguin, Devine and the Hill Country. Dates, hours, ticket and pumpkin prices come from each one’s own website, and where something isn’t published, this page says so rather than guessing.

San Antonio pumpkin patch questions

What’s the best pumpkin patch in San Antonio?

It depends what you want. For a big farm day with lots included, Devine Acres has more than 50 attractions and Country Grace Farms has its pink pumpkin patch. For the best value with a big family, Bulverde Pumpkin Patch is $30 a car for the whole month. For something small and free near downtown, go to Alamo Heights UMC, or Universal City for free with themed weekends and evening hayrides. And Pipe Creek is the cheapest paid patch at $9.

Is there a free pumpkin patch in San Antonio?

Yes, five. Universal City Pumpkin Patch (2–31 Oct, pets welcome), St. Margaret’s on Stahl Road (10–31 Oct, free Fall Festival on 24 Oct), Windcrest UMC (from 28 Sep), Alamo Heights UMC (from 10 Oct) and Winding Branch Ranch near Bulverde (free, but reserve a ticket). They’re all on our free pumpkin patch San Antonio page. We keep free lists for Austin, Houston and Dallas too.

Where is the pumpkin patch in New Braunfels?

Sundrop Springs on Hueco Springs Loop Road is New Braunfels’ big fall festival, with a hayride, maze and evening scares, until 1 November. In the town centre, First United Methodist Church runs a pumpkin patch in its courtyard every day from 4 to 31 October. Country Grace Farms in Seguin is 25 minutes east.

Which Bulverde pumpkin patch should I choose?

There are two. Bulverde Pumpkin Patch on West Ammann Road is $30 a car with a hayride and games, and welcomes dogs. Winding Branch Ranch is free, at an animal sanctuary, but needs a reserved ticket and doesn’t allow pets.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, at two. Universal City Pumpkin Patch welcomes well-behaved pets every day, and on “Wags” Wednesdays (7, 14 and 21 Oct) the volunteers put on extra animal activities. Bulverde Pumpkin Patch welcomes dogs too. Winding Branch Ranch and BellCreek Acres don’t allow pets, and the others don’t say, so ask first. Our dog-friendly pumpkin patches page covers Houston and the rest of Texas.

Is there anything between San Antonio and Austin?

Uhland Fall Fest, near Kyle, is about 50 minutes up I-35, and Texas Pumpkin Fest in Leander is the big festival north of Austin. All the Austin-area patches are on our Austin page.

How these were checked

Each listing was built from the farm's own website, calendar and ticket pages, then checked by email where something was missing. The date of that check sits on every listing above.

All were checked on 25 and 26 September, on their own websites or by email. Sundrop Springs’ prices come from the Visit New Braunfels listing because the farm hasn’t published them yet, and that’s marked on its card.
