Is there any activity that represents fall more than picking apples and exploring pumpkin patches? U-pick farms and pumpkin patches provide great family-friendly activities that can be fun and educational for family members of all ages and abilities. And for kids on the autism spectrum, from the different shapes of pumpkins to the sounds of farm animals, and so much more, an afternoon apple picking or at a pumpkin patch can provide many opportunities for sensory play and exploration.
Fall has finally arrived and we have put together a list of some of the best U-pick farms and pumpkin patches throughout California.
