Fall Family Fun in and Around Fontana: A Guide to Seasonal Events
Cooler days are here! Grab your Pumpkin Spiced Latte and venture out of The Arboretum to enjoy local activities for the whole family all season long.
Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes
Fall wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a pumpkin patch or corn maze. You can pick your own pumpkins, get lost in a corn maze, and enjoy other family-friendly activities like hayrides and petting zoos. Seasonal Adventure Pumpkin Patch in Rancho Cucamonga offers this and then some! Here, you will find obstacle courses, mechanical rides, and a train for the little ones! If you’re also looking for fun fall decorations, they have them! From scarecrows, cornstalks, Indian corn, and strawbales. This pumpkin patch will not disappoint! If you don’t mind a short 35-minute drive, the Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch in Yucaipa has fun rides, games, corn mazes, and photo ops!
Fun Fall Events
Fontana comes alive with spooky fun during Halloween. There are plenty of events for families to enjoy, including trick-or-treating, haunted houses, and costume parties. Check out Spooky Splash Halloween Dive-in Movie. This event will have a Halloween movie on a big screen while you float in the pool! Concessions will also be available when you get hungry. The Community Services Department’s Halloween Trick-or-Treat Alley is another event that brings together the community for a day of fun and celebration at Jessie Turner, Cypress Neighborhood, or Don Day Center. You will be able to enjoy enchanting performances, delightful treats, and lively costume parades to revel in the Halloween spirit! The Community Services Department will also host Halloween Howl. You can bring your four-legged friends for a tail-wagging good time! Here, you can enjoy treats, music, and a pet costume contest. These are great opportunities to have thrills and chills with the whole family.
It doesn’t stop there! More opportunities for kid-friendly fun are all around all season long! Enjoy the community celebration of Dia De Los Muertos at the Don Day Neighborhood Center, or make a splash with the first-ever floating pumpkin patch at the Pumpkin Pool-ooza at the Fontana Park Aquatic Center!
