Motley's Pumpkin Patch

Motley's Pumpkin Patch, at 13724 Sandy Ann Drive in Little Rock, calls itself Little Rock's favorite fall family outing. Visitors pick pumpkins of every size, plus gourds, corn stalks, flowers, and hay bales. The grounds hold a cow train with double cars, a 250-foot mega slide, kangaroo jumping pads, and a three-level wooden pirate ship, alongside pig races, hay rides, a corn pit, and a kids corn maze. The farm zoo includes goats, chickens, Daisy the pig, and Maggie the donkey. Tommy Terrific's magic show runs on weekends. Motley's Snack Bar and Mike's Grill serve burgers, BBQ, and caramel apples, and the gift shop sells homemade fudge.

Our take: Arrive well before the entrance closes, an hour ahead of the posted end time, and catch Tommy Terrific on a weekend if you want the magic show.
