🍂 Make a Fall Day Out of It
One of the best things about fall in San Antonio is that you don’t have to stop at the pumpkin patch.
Pick a patch in the morning, grab lunch somewhere local, take a scenic drive through the Hill Country and finish the day with a little Halloween fun. Or keep it simple: grab a pumpkin, take a few family photos and enjoy the fact that San Antonio finally feels a little more like fall.
And if you’re looking for even more seasonal events, check local event calendars before heading out. Dates, hours and admission prices can change, and some pumpkin patches may close early if pumpkins sell out or weather affects operations.
