Nicasio Valley Pumpkin Patch

We love this spot up north because it has a massively-fun hay maze for kids seven to 97, a smaller one for the under seven plus a hay pit for toddlers which means everyone is covered. A kids music hour from 11 to 12 noon on Sundays 10/10-24, face painting and petting zoo will work up a big appetite for their on-site BBQ and ice cream. Cash only.
