WARNING!!! Do not go the Flower Mound pumpkin patch!! There is absolutely NO social distancing! I had to make a reservation but it was clearly not being policed. No one even asked to see my reservation. There were tons of people and half were not wearing masks. We walked in and walked straight back out!

I had planned to visit Team Family Farms and then came across your list, which confirmed I should visit with my toddler. We went up there today from Euless and we absolutely loved it. The location was easy to get to, the hospitality was excellent and besides enjoying all of the animals...there were a ton of activities for my 18 month old to explore.

Gunter pumpkin patch location on Preston. VERY big disappointment as I have taken many grandchildren to pumpkin patches for 25 years. Basically they walk around are given a handfull of food for animals, approx 5 minutes used up, then hayride, free hot dog BIG deAL, that costs business minimum with the volume obviously, or you NOT do it. just not that much to do at all. Flower MOUND, pumpkin patch near CANTON area, Denison. so many other places, some a drive but nice time of year and this YEAR for sure need some fresh air, activity, and family fun. in Gunter, the place on Preston, just competing to make a dollar, no BIG bucks for little or nothing....family of 4 that is $40 for what? check out all others you will be surprised at all the fun, more expensive but at least you get something and hours of fun, which is primary reason.
