Fall is near which means several things: falling leaves, cozy sweaters and pumpkin patches!

In El Paso, you have a few options, mainly corn mazes with a pumpkin patch attatched- and most are also opening up soon! But if you're looking for a cute little trip outside of El Paso, well, the Balzano Family Pumpkin Patch invites you to pick your perfect pumpkin!

The Balzano Vineyard and Pumpkin Patch is set to open their family friendly pumpkin patch on Saturday, September 30!

Located halfway between Artesia and Carlsbad, the Balzano Vineyard has the biggest pumpkin patch in Southeastern New Mexico. The Balzano family is celebrating ten years of fun for the whole family! With more than 40 activities planned, a petting farm zoo, a restaurant and winery and lots of food options- there will be something for everyone.

The pumpkin patch will be open Saturdays 10-6 and Sundays 12-6 every weekend in October.

You can purchase your tickets for the pumpkin patch here. But be advised, your ticket grants you admission and activities like the wagon ride, but pumpkins are sold separately and can range from $2 to $20.

But for a little weekend getaway, or even just a day trip, the pumpkin patch has an abundance to things for you to do.

And, as we get closer to the fall season, you'll already be in the Land of Enchantment, might as well take advantage of the fall foliage and get that perfect family, or solo, autumnal selfie- here are three places where you can see some great fall foliage near El Paso.
