Cityside Pumpkin Patch

Cityside Pumpkin Patch is back at Liberty Point at Penn's Landing, running from October 3 through November 2. It's a rooftop Halloween experience on the Delaware River waterfront, and this year the pumpkins are locally sourced. The whole thing is built as an urban alternative to driving out to a farm—you get the pumpkin patch without leaving the city.

Inside, the rooftop has been turned into a Halloween-themed space with a few different things to do. There's pumpkin smashing, carnival games, and spooky backdrops for photos. It's set up to work for families, but there's a more grown-up side to it too, with fall cocktails and seasonal treats available throughout the run. If you're going with kids, keep in mind that anyone under 21 has to be with a parent or guardian and needs to be out by 10 PM. Pets aren't allowed.

Logistically, it runs daily, generally between noon and 10 PM. You book a two-hour window rather than just showing up whenever you like, and entry begins 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. Tickets start at $13.90, and children ages 3 and older need their own ticket. You'll find it at Liberty Point at Penn's Landing, 211 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd., Philadelphia, PA 19106.
