Spanish Fork has a new pumpkin patch in town.

Bert’s Family Pumpkin Patch, which has been open since Sept. 25, is hoping to give visitors a chance to have some fall-themed fun and take wagon rides.

“It’s been so fun to see so many people have a blast,” Melinda McBride, one of the owners, said. “We’ve gotten good feedback and they are bringing their families back and bringing their neighbors back. It’s been really positive.”

Last year, Bert’s Family Events had a Christmas tree farm, which gave people a chance to ride in the horse-drawn wagons, pick out a tree and get a ride back to their cars.

This year, they decided to expand the fun to Halloween with wagon rides, a pumpkin patch, swings, bike races, a petting zoo, slides, a corn pit and pony rides.

“It’s been as much fun for the adults as it is for the kids,” McBride said.

While there are other pumpkin patches and fall activity centers in the area, the horses are what set Bert’s apart.

There are five teams of horses, including black Percherons, paint quarter horses, shire mares and Belgian horses, there to pull wagons full of visitors.

“There’s five different teams that can pull the wagon around the field so it’s really fun to expose people to something that isn’t really common,” McBride said.

McBride said the idea for these events came because one of the people involved in the business does rodeos and has horses.

“He’s had the wagons and the draft horses for years. He’d take them to his rodeos and use them there. But in the offseason, they didn’t really work much,” she said. “So we thought that if we created this together, it would give him a perfect place to use the horses a lot more than just the rodeo season.”

Bert’s Family Pumpkin Patch and Horse Drawn Wagon Rides is located at 486 E. Southfield Road in Spanish Fork. They are open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through Halloween. Children ages 3 and under get in for free. Admission for everyone else is $3.

McBride said they worked to keep admission prices low, so more people can enjoy them.

“Nobody has ton of money, at least most families,” she said. “So we wanted to keep it reasonable so no one was going to be excluded because of the price.”
