Butler’s Orchard Pumpkin Patch (Germantown)

Opens 9/25. This one’s a bit more of a drive but is definitely a fun time. Hayrides, jump pad, cider & pumpkins. This place does get crowded, even with timed entry, so if you can, go on a weekday – the earlier the better.

Take a hayride to the patch and let the children pick “kid-sized” pumpkins to take home. Come visit our adorable goats and all our other great animals.  Take a pony ride, a cow train ride or an Enchanted  Express train ride.

    Hi Ms.. Sarah & Route 1 families. Winterbrook farms is nice as well located at 13001 Creagerstown Rd, Thurmont, MD. Took me an hour & 5 minutes from RVD.
