As fall starts to bring a bit of cooler weather and changing leaves to Northern California, it also means the return of October favorites like pumpkin patches, haunted houses and the ever-popular corn maze. Most pumpkin patches and corn mazes are open through October. Here are some you can explore in and around the Sacramento area. And, a quick tip from those who run the corn mazes – if you get lost, they urge you not to call 911 and instead carefully walk between the rows of corn until you exit the maze. From there, walk around the edges of it until you reach the main entrance. COOL PUMPKIN PATCHRunning until Halloween, Dixon’s Cool Patch Pumpkins boasts a world-record corn maze.
