Many Laguna Niguel families may be canceling their trick-or-treat plans this Halloween season, but there are still opportunities to keep autumn traditions alive with a visit to a local pumpkin patch.
Many area farms and pumpkin patches are still open this season, full of giant, orange pumpkins that are ready to be turned into Jack O’Lanterns, not to mention pumpkin pies. Some of the locations have adjusted hours and have some restrictions, but Laguna Niguel residents can still get the pumpkin patch experience.
Tanaka Farms is one such location that is open now for visitors. The farm offers a Drive-Thru Pumpkin Farm Experience and a U-Pick Pumpkin with a Wagon Ride. Tanaka also offers curbside pickup service.
Another nearby farm is Irvine Park Railroad, which offers paddleboat and peddle cart rentals, hay and train rides, and games. Admission is free, but there are fees for the activities. Also nearby is the Orange County Zoo.
Businesses such as these can use banner printing services for their special events.
Tanaka Farms is located at 5380 ¾ University Drive in Irvine. It is open daily from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm until Halloween itself (October 31).
Irvine Park Railroad is located at 1 Irvine Park Rd. in Orange. Hours are weekdays from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is also open until Halloween.
