According to the River Fox website, the pumpkin patch is a collaboration with Dave’s Pumpkin Patch, of West Sacramento’s Vierra Farms. At the patch, each ticketed guest can choose a pumpkin to take home.
The Pumpkin Patch Express leaves from the River Fox’s boarding area at 18095 County Rd. 117 in West Sacramento. These seasonal train journeys are scheduled at 10 a.m. on every Saturday and Sunday in October. Wearing costumes, notes the River Fox website, is encouraged.
