Go out and pick some pumpkins and enjoy the many fall attractions metro Denver pumpkin patches have to offer.
The coronavirus has upended and changed nearly every aspect of modern life in 2020 and those changes have also creeped into our favorite fall activities like going to the pumpkin patch.
Due to the pandemic, many of the pumpkin patches in and near Denver have to adjust their hours, activities and methods of operation for the fall.
