Before you can wow all the neighborhood kids with your awesome pumpkin carving skills, you have to go pick out the perfect pumpkin. Scottsdale has great spots to choose from, so grab that pumpkin spice latte or some apple cider and get to picking out that melon!
MacDonald’s Ranch: McDonald’s Ranch is known for its family fun environment and genuine Western experiences, from cookouts and hayrides to horses and stagecoaches. But when fall comes around, the ranch pulls out all the stops for their pumpkin patch. Train rides, hayrides, pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, sand art, and food all make for a fun family outing! Plus, everyone will love the maze made out of more than a semi-load of hay. With all the fun, don’t forget to pick out your pumpkin! Head to the ranch Oct. 1-31 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., every day except Tuesday.
