The Best Pumpkin Patch In Wisconsin

To find the best U-pick pumpkin patch in every state, Reader's Digest scoured user reviews across the country to find places that not only provide pumpkins but are also places to have additional family fun, such as corn mazes, pet farm animals, and more.

In Wisconsin, the winner was Bear Den Zoo and Petting Farm, located at 6831 Big Ben Road in Waterford.

While they have an amazing U-pick pumpkin field, what sets them apart are the diverse animals and interactive exhibits that provide fun for the whole family. Among the animals you get to see are lynx, ring-tailed lemurs, alpacas, gray wolves, black bears, and a red fox.

They also have a petting zoo with traditional farm animals. "It’s the best zoo you’ll find at a pumpkin patch and a great place to teach kids about animal conservation and preservation."
