There is nothing quite like the fall season in Boise! The City of Trees changes to an array of red, orange, and yellow against the beautiful mountain backdrop. Whether it is picking pumpkins at one of the local farms, trick-or-treating on Harrison Blvd., or attending a fall event, Boise offers so much to celebrate the fall season.
Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, & Farms
Twin Oaks Farms
Twin Oaks Farm has been a fall staple in the Treasure Valley for several years now. Pre-COVID they would change an entry fee and have plenty of food & activities to participate in, including a haunted Halloween section. However, they have since switched things up to accommodate COVID restrictions. Twin Oaks no longer charges an entry fee to the farm and you can enjoy free corn pits, mini mazes, a hay stack tower and slide. The u-pick pumpkins, horse rides, train ride, and animal feed do cost money.
