PUMPKIN PATCH PRIVATE PARTY TENT RENTALS

2023 Pumpkin Patch Private Party Tent Rentals are available weekends only from September 16th through October 1st. Reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included?

The tent rental includes a 3-hour rental, hay bale seating that seats approximately 60 people, and a 6-foot table for food and/or cake. Parking is included for all members of your group.

What is the cost?

The $200 fee is non-refundable unless we have inclement weather which is at the discretion of Tanaka Farms.

A tent rental is only offered as an add-on to a group purchase of Pumpkin Patch Field Trip tickets at $18 each. A minimum of fifteen (15) tickets must be purchased. A separate $10 general admission fee must be paid for any guest not participating in the package. Children 2 years and under are free! One (1) adult must be a chaperone for every fifteen (15) children.

What is included the Pumpkin Patch Package?

The pumpkin patch is technically not a tour in terms of it being the guided tour experience of our strawberry and melon season.  This is a completely self-guided tour and you are given an itinerary of activities.  The complete itinerary takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on group size.  The package experience includes:

  • WAGON RIDE: Once everyone has been checked in and stickers put on, the first stop is the Wagon Ride! The wagons run continuously every 10 minutes or so and take you around our 30-acre farm to see all the pumpkins and crops growing. Please note that this is not a guided tour. This is a wagon ride only.

  • BARNYARD EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT: When the wagon returns, the next stop is the Barnyard Educational Exhibit! We have a variety of barnyard animals to visit, including chickens, goats, sheep, and donkeys. Make sure to supervise all children to take good care of our animal friends. Hand sanitizing stations are available outside the Barnyard.

  • CORN MAZE: Enjoy making your way through this kid-friendly favorite.

  • U-PICK VEGGIES: After gathering your group out of the Barnyard, head on over to the Vegetable Patch! A friendly Patch helper will pass out bags and tell you all about the vegetables and how to pick them. Each child can take home 4 of each kind of veggie - carrots, radishes, green onions, and cilantro.

  • PUMPKIN PATCH: Last stop but certainly not least is picking a pumpkin! Walk on over the pumpkin patch to choose which pumpkin to take home. Flat one, tall one, skinny one...bumpy one? Orange, white, green? IMPORTANT: Each child must carry his/her own pumpkin through the Check Out tent AND it must weigh no more than 20 pounds.

What if my guest count changes?

You will have 48 hours before your party date to make any changes to the U-Pick Wagon Ride headcount. If you need to make changes to the number of General Admission or Package tickets needed, our check-in staff will charge/refund according to your updated guest count, as long as the 15 ticket minimum is reached.

What else do I need to know?

  • You may decorate but please bring all supplies needed. Tanaka Farms is unable to provide any assistance with decorations. Confetti is not allowed.

  • You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks but please no full-service catering. We do not have refrigeration or electricity in the tents.

  • Candles on cakes must be immediately immersed in water!

  • Inflatable jumpers, pinatas, alcohol, cooking, silly string, and loud music are NOT permitted. 

  • Help keep our farm clean! All trash and decoration MUST be disposed of before you leave. Otherwise, a $100 cleaning fee will be charged to the credit card on file. A trash can will be provided.

  • The tented area is not secure. Do not leave any valuables behind. Tanaka Farms is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Go to the check-in desk. You’ll receive purchased entry/tour stickers. After you get settled in your tent, please meet all of your guests at the front entrance of the farm to distribute all stickers. They will need it to enter. It is highly recommended to remind your guests to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the tour time! There is no guarantee that late arrivals will be able to join your group on the wagon ride if it has already departed.

I need assistance the day of the party. Who do I ask?

Although you will not have a “party host”, any friendly Tanaka Farms staff member can provide assistance. You may also go directly to the check-in desk for service.
