Pumpkin patches in Italy your kids will love

A handpicked selection of pumpkin patches in Italy for kids perfect for Halloween and the harvest season. Updated August 2025.

A day on the pumpkin patch is not a traditional Italian Halloween activity.

However, spending a day outdoors taking in fall colors and celebrating harvest season has grown in popularity in the last few years, and now there are a few pumpkin patches in Italy offering fun days out for families with kids.

In most cases, the inspiration is drawn from the US and the patches try to replicate the Halloween atmosphere we got to know and love from American family movies

If you are in Italy in October these can be fun places to check out with kids

Today, I am sharing a list of some of Italy’s kid-friendly best pumpkin patches.

For each, I included location and contact details so you can book your spot directly. Please note that most of the websites are in Italian only.

Please note: opening days info is based on info from the providers and shared to the best of our ability but it is subject to change also last minute: always check opening and availability directly before going.

Pumpkin Patches in Italy: need to know

The Italian for pumpkin is zucca.

However, it is helpful to know that, in Italy, we often call pumpkin patches by their English name or variations of it.

You may see them advertises as a pumpkin patch, pick-ur-own, or you-pick (also campo you-pick).

The use of English doesn’t mean that the events are for tourists so please don’t let deter you!

In Italian, the name of pumpkin events usually includes words such as zucca / zucche (Pumpkin / Pumpkins), campo (field/patch), Giardino (Garden), terra (land), raccolta (picking / harvest).
