HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) – It’s pumpkin picking season! There are plenty of places in Hampton Roads where you can find the perfect pumpkin or take part in fall fun for the whole family, such as hay rides, corn mazes and more!
Some good tips before you go pumpkin picking:
- Call ahead or check out the website! The farms are often small and family-run. You might want to double check their scheduled events and rain policy.
- If you’re looking for a specific type of pumpkin, ask!
- Don’t forget that local farms are a great place to find fall décor!
- Decide if you’re going specifically for pumpkins or if you want the full fall fair experience. You can often get prime pumpkins at a smaller farm that has less of a rush, but, if you want to keep the kids busy, find one with a corn maze or hayrides!
