Ian’s Pumpkin Patch
Open September 25 through October 31 · Daily 10 AM – 6 PM · Mill Valley, right off 101
A real patch, not a parking-lot pop-up
Every October the lot fills with pumpkins in all sizes and colors, grown for us in Half Moon Bay and laid out on hay bales along a walkway strung with lights and wooden cutout characters.
- Pumpkins of every size & color Grown in Half Moon Bay — from tiny to trophy-sized, plus white, green and warty ones.
- Gourds & specialty pumpkins Decorative gourds and heirloom varieties for the porch and the table.
- The jumpies Bounce houses big and small — including the biggest jumpy in Marin.
- Photo spots Hay bales, wagons, string lights and the hand-painted Ian’s sign — bring the costume.
- Parties & field trips Private birthdays and school groups hosted right at the patch. Details →
- Friendly, hard-working staff They’ll help you pick — and carry the big one to your car.
Jumpies & season passes
Home of the biggest jumpy in Marin. Kids bounce with a day pass, or grab the full-season pass and come back every day in October — parents tell us it’s the best deal in Marin, and we don’t gouge on it. Day passes and the season pass are available at the gate, or call (415) 302-1142 for current pricing.
Jumpy tips: we recommend long sleeves and pants for bouncing — and if you’re coming before noon, bring a towel and a change of clothes, since the jumpies can still be dewy in the morning.
Bouncing? Please fill out our waiver online before you visit:
