Howell’s Greenhouse & Pumpkin Patch is located in Cumming, Iowa. It seems to be a hit for everyone of any age in the Des Moines area. What is so great about it? 

Howell’s has many exciting fall activities including pumpkin launching, a corn maze, baby goats, a playground, and a jump pad. There is paintball offered as well. My friends and I enjoyed the corn maze and we even had a race to see who could reach the end of it first. 

The concessions had many options of food, but the only snack I bought throughout the day was a caramel apple, which my friend and I shared. It is not a day at the pumpkin patch without a caramel apple. I would rate it a solid 7/10 whereas Addy Bjork said she would rate it an 8/10. The employees were very nice whether they were guiding and directing traffic or taking tickets. The tickets cost $14 for a fall admission pass which gets you in for the entire day, and gives you access to the whole patch. Howell’s is open all 7 days of the week during the fall season.

Overall, it was a fun experience with friends, and I will definitely be adding it to my fall bucket list in the upcoming years. It was a great way to spend a Sunday in October.
