Corn mazes, pumpkin patches, orchards, hayrides, and fall festivals in Dublin.
Balbriggan Pumpkin Patch is a two-weekend community pumpkin-picking event held on the grounds of Bremore Educate Together Secondary School and run by the school's Parents Association. Visitors pick a pumpkin, browse a craft fair, and can get a scare from costumed students; entry is a small per-person or family fee. Dogs are not permitted except registered assistance animals.
Papa's Pumpkin Patch operates on a working farm in Oldtown, North Co. Dublin, offering pick-your-own pumpkins alongside a straw maze, farm animal encounters, arts and crafts, and face painting. It runs as a seasonal weekend event each October and is promoted mainly through Eventbrite and social media rather than a dedicated website.
Scalp Wood Nurseries in Kilternan runs an annual Pumpkin Festival where children pick and carve their own pumpkin in the nursery's big barn, alongside a Spookley-themed maze and a Haunted Witches Room aimed at older children. Booking is required and pumpkin picking starts from a small per-person charge.
