Last minute Halloween guide for Vancouver moms

Halloween is creeping up on us. Here is our go-to guide for everything you need to know to make the rest of October a blast. This Halloween guide for Vancouver moms, will make those last days extra special.

Best Pumpkin Patch Picks

The last weekend before Halloween is coming up, so if you don’t know where to go — here are the two best mom-approved places in the Lower Mainland.

#1 – Best patch for young kids: Arts Nursery in Surrey

I have been to a lot of pumpkin patches this year, and I took my three kids here and it is by far the best place I have been. It’s covered, cute and perfect for a stroller. They also have tons of fun scarecrows to check out around the nursery.  I absolutely love this little pop-up pumpkin patch and highly recommend it.

Address: 8940 192 Street, Surrey

#1 – Best pumpkin patch for all ages: Laity Pumpkin Patch in Maple Ridge

Laity Pumpkin Patch is the best for all ages — they have a North section for kids kids under 6 and a South section recommended for kids over 4. 

“My family had the best time at Laity,” Jenni Nielsen, mom of 2, said, “we went to the south side for younger kids. It’s by far my favourite pumpkin patch.” 

There are so many things to do at Laity. Nielsen and her kids had an excitement filled day. 

“It has tons of unique activities, animals, a fun forest walk and a short hay ride,” she said. “We stayed for 4 hours because the kids were having so much fun!”
