Craven Farm Fall Festival & Pumpkin Patch

Craven Farm calls itself the original pumpkin patch of Snohomish and dates that claim to 1983. Entry to the farm and the U-pick patch needs no wristband, covering the farm shop, farm track beer garden, harvest market, food stands, and photo ops. Wristbands unlock the rest: an Alice-in-Pumpkinland corn maze, a kids adventure maze, mini golf, human foosball, a jump pad, a cow train, a wagon ride, rubber duck races, and a hay-ground play area. Apple cannons, paintball, and gem mining are a la carte. Line dancing runs on Friday nights. Weekday food is a shorter list; the full stand lineup, including the Donut Hut, is a weekend thing.

Our take: Skip the wristband if you only want the patch and farm shop, and add one if the Alice maze and cow train are the point of the trip.
