| Bedner's Pumpkin Patch |
This is the best Pumpkin Patch that I have been able to find. It is a bit of a drive from Fort Lauderdale, but seriously worth it! Bedner's have a great market filled with beautiful locally grown fruit and vegetables, some of which are grown on property.
Weekends in October are the best here due to the Fall Festival! Guests take a ride through the fields on a tractor to the "pumpkin patch". We got to see an alligator on the way!
Pumpkins don't grow terribly well in Florida, so it's not a real pumpkin patch, There is an entire field filled with Pumpkins sitting on what looked like cucumber vines. So you get the feel that you are really out picking pumpkins. It is a great photo opportunity! I got several pie pumpkins while we were there and made some great pumpkin pie with it!

The grounds are all decorated for fall and Halloween, there is a huge Tiki Hut where you can sit in the shade and enjoy great barbecue and home made ice cream and the best fresh dipped caramel apples ever!
The tractor ride is $2 per person and this year they added a Haunted House that is $3. They also added a "corn maze" it is actually more like grass though for the Florida version.
There are also some local craft venders with some really cute stuff for sale. Be prepared to walk to get there, we had to park down the street, so bring a stroller to carry your pumpkin back to your car even if your kid won't use the stroller.
During the summer they also run a strawberry and tomato u-pick.
Bedner's can be found at 10066 Lee Road Boynton Beach, Florida 33473 and the Fall Festival is open Beginning September 29th Saturday 9-6 and Sunday 10-5.

Last word of caution: There are alligators in the canals, and while we were at the pumpkin patch I did see a child fall into the canal. He was fine, his mother was in like a flash right after him. However, it is a good reminder of how fast a kid can trip and fall. Please be right on top of your kids at all times near these canals.
