Best Pumpkin Patches Near Brushy Creek, TX: 2026 Prices, Dates & Fall Fun
Looking for a pumpkin patch near Brushy Creek? From simple pumpkin stops in Round Rock to full fall festivals with corn mazes, rides, animals and fireworks, here’s your 2026 guide to the best options nearby.
October around Brushy Creek is funny.
You can spend ten minutes picking out a pumpkin...
or somehow turn pumpkin shopping into a six-hour event involving a Ferris wheel, pig races, corn mazes, funnel cake and a child refusing to leave without a gourd shaped like a goose.
Both are perfectly acceptable fall plans.
The trick is knowing what kind of pumpkin outing you actually want before everyone gets in the car.
So here’s the breakdown.

King of Kings Pumpkin Patch — Round Rock
King of Kings Pumpkin Patch
17000 Smyers Lane, Round Rock, TX 78681

St. Richard’s Pumpkin Patch — Round Rock
St. Richard's Episcopal Church
1420 E. Palm Valley Blvd., Round Rock, TX 78664
St. Richard’s is one of Round Rock’s longstanding pumpkin-patch traditions.
Its current pumpkin page lists the patch as open October 2 through October 31, opening at noon Sunday through Friday and at 9 a.m. on Saturdays, with closing at dark.
This is much more of a classic pumpkin-patch experience than a carnival-style festival.
Think:
Pumpkins.
Fall photos.
A church lawn covered in orange.
And trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.
The church says proceeds from the patch help support local outreach efforts and community organizations.
One note before you go
The main pumpkin page is live, but some supporting date references on that same page do not line up cleanly with the 2026 calendar. Because of that, I would check the church’s current page or call before visiting rather than relying on every posted date detail.
Entry: No general admission charge is currently listed
Pumpkins: Purchased separately
Best for: Traditional fall photos and pumpkin shopping
Round Rock Pumpkin Festival — Old Settlers Park
Round Rock Pumpkin Festival
3300 E. Palm Valley Blvd., Round Rock, TX 78665
This one gives you a bigger festival experience without heading far from Brushy Creek.

Admission is $12 beginning October 2, with $10 early-bird tickets offered before the event opens. Children 2 and younger and adults 65+ are free, and the festival also lists free admission for teachers, active military and first responders with ID.
What’s there?
Expect a pumpkin patch, photo setups, games, fair-style food and a mix of included and paid attractions. The festival currently lists free photo opportunities, games and pumpkin painting when you purchase a pumpkin, while things such as the train ride require additional tickets.
This is a good middle-ground option.
It’s more than just buying a pumpkin...
but you’re not committing to a full amusement-park day either.

Parking: Free
Pumpkins: Sold separately; current festival information notes pumpkins starting around $3 for some options

A 4.5-acre themed maze
Pig races
Petting zoo

Wagon rides
Apple cannons
Seasonal shows
And Friday and Saturday night fireworks during October, except Halloween night.
What if you ONLY want pumpkins?
This is the important part.
You do not have to purchase full general admission just to visit the pumpkin patch.
In September, pumpkin-patch-only entry is free.
In October, pumpkin-patch-only admission is:
Monday–Friday: Free

Pumpkin prices
Pick-your-own pumpkins are $0.85 per pound.
Mini pumpkins are $1.50 each or four for $5.
General admission price
Sweet Eats uses date-specific pricing for full festival admission rather than one flat published amount. Its FAQ says online tickets cost $5 less than tickets purchased at the farm, so I would check the specific date you plan to visit rather than quoting one fixed general-admission price.
Pumpkin-patch-only: Free many weekdays; October weekends $5 online/$10 gate
Full festival admission: Varies by date
Pumpkins: $0.85/lb.
Best for: A full day of fall activities, animals and farm fun
Sweet Berry Farm — Marble Falls
Sweet Berry Farm
1801 FM 1980, Marble Falls, TX 78654
And yes — after triple-checking this one:
General entry really is free.
Sweet Berry’s official fall information specifically says there is no entry fee. You pay only for the activities and pumpkins you choose.
That’s probably why this one can feel like it has admission once you’re there.

Texas Maze
Hayrides
Barrel Train
Berry Bounce
Goat Racers
Candy Corn Maze

Best for: A relaxed farm outing where you choose exactly what you want to do
So Which Pumpkin Patch Should You Choose?
If you just want pumpkins and pictures, go with King of Kings or St. Richard’s.
If you want something close but with activities, try the Round Rock Pumpkin Festival.
If your crew wants rides and constant entertainment, Texas Pumpkin Fest is the obvious fit.
If you want animals, a big maze, pig races and enough activities to stay most of the day, go to Sweet Eats.
And if you like the idea of free entry and paying only for the things you actually want to do, make the drive to Sweet Berry Farm.
My Biggest Pumpkin-Patch Tip
Decide before leaving the house whether you want:
A pumpkin patch
or
A fall festival.
They are not the same thing.
A simple patch can mean:
Park.
Take photos.
Pick a pumpkin.
Spend twenty bucks.
Go home.
A festival can mean admission for everyone, pumpkins, food, rides and several hours of activities.
Both can be great.
But your wallet will appreciate knowing which one you're doing before you arrive.
A Few Central Texas Fall Survival Tips
October weather around here has absolutely no obligation to cooperate with your fall outfit.
It may be crisp and gorgeous.
It may also be 90 degrees while somebody is wearing a sweater because Mom wanted pumpkin pictures.
So check the weather.
Bring water.
Wear shoes that can handle grass, dirt or mud.
Check the venue’s weather page before driving out.
And if photos are the main goal, weekdays or earlier-season visits can make things much easier.
Why Brushy Creek Is a Great Starting Point for Pumpkin Season
One of the nice things about Brushy Creek is that you can choose how big you want the outing to be.
Stay nearby in Round Rock for a simple patch.
Head toward Leander for rides.
Go north toward Georgetown for a farm festival.
Or make a Hill Country day of it in Marble Falls.
So the real question isn't:
“Where can we find a pumpkin?”
It's:
“How much pumpkin-related chaos are we in the mood for today?”
Thinking About Living in Brushy Creek?
At Hoyden Homes, we spend plenty of time talking about homes, schools, trails, commuting and the real estate market.
But living somewhere is also about knowing what you'll actually do once you're there.
And in October?
That means knowing where the pumpkins are.
