All Hallow's Eve is nearly upon us and Metro Vancouverites are heading to the stores to get their ghoulish getups and spooky decorations.
If you plan on decorating before Halloween, numerous farms across the Lower Mainland are selling pumpkins and offering fun fall activities for the whole family.
These pumpkin patches offer far more than simply jack-o-lantern canvases. Whether you enjoy a good ol’ fashioned hayride, a nice glass of wine, a slice of delectable apple pie, or even a bone-chilling chase through a corn maze, these fun spots have you covered.
Happy picking!
