Are you looking for a great place in the LA area to visit a pumpkin patch? Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch can be found in Culver City. Whether or not you will think this is a great pumpkin patch depends on what you’re looking for. This particular patch is best for young children. My Mom and I came here and while we had planned on potentially staying for at least an hour we were ready to leave in about 20 minutes.

If I had not previously visited the incredible Underwood Family Farms I might not judge Mr. Bones so harshly. But, for the prices that this patch charges for activities it is hard to see it as a good value. I was lucky to find street parking but if you are unable to find it the patch charges to park in their dirt lot.
Are you looking for cute Halloween shirts? Amazon has some fun options.
They do have a food truck if you would like to get something to eat but it did not look like anything special. I went on a Friday and was surprised to see that very little was open. It was especially disappointing to see that the decorating station was closed. Luckily, by having to wait until I got home I came up with some fun ideas. I painted my white pumpkin to look at Captain Hook’s hand since the stem reminded me of his hook.
You can purchase tickets ahead of time through Fever.
I did enjoy the Pumpkin House for taking photos but you can find pumpkin houses like this at a few different places around LA including Descanso Gardens. Which you could go see on their free day!
They do have a good variety in the types of pumpkins that they have. Pumpkins are priced by weight. Traditional pumpkins are $1.29 per lb and specialty pumpkins are $1.49 per lb. We applied our $10 of bones bucks to the pumpkins which brought our final total to $2.75. All in all, it did not feel like a waste of time or money since our admission almost fully covered our pumpkins, and we got free parking. However, on a weekend I would have felt ripped off.
What kind of activities do they have? There are slides for the children and a miniature hay maze.
Again, having been to Underwood Family Farms this was not the same value. At the farm, they have a big corn maze, a hayride, lots of animals, and a completely different experience. Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch is an okay alternative if you don’t have the time to go up to Moorpark but for me, I almost felt like I’d rather just get a pumpkin at the grocery store than come back here. I know that in the city they cannot create a massive experience but still. This just felt average at best.
However, I have heard that this is a spot to occasionally spot a celebrity. Another blogger saw Harrison Ford here. Mark Wahlberg has been spotted here too. I hope that if you go you have a wonderful time!
