Are pumpkins included in the cost of our ticket?NO.  Pumpkins are a separate purchase.  You may enjoy our Miners' Pumpkin Patch WITHOUT purchasing a pumpkin, OR you may purchase as many pumpkins as you would like.  If you purchase pumpkins online in advance, you will receive a "token" at check in to redeem for the pumpkin of your choice.  Please keep in mind, prices may fluctuate later in the season due to variations in market prices.  (Pumpkins are priced $1 less if you purchase ahead online)Is Museum admission included in our ticket?Museum admission is extra...but as our thank you for supporting WMMI at the Miners' Pumpkin Patch, we will give you a "Buy One Get One Free"  Offer to the museum to use THAT day, or another day of your choice.  Thank you for supporting your local, non-profit museum.  How long should we plan to stay?That depends!  There are lots of games and activities, and opportunities for exploring our 27 acre campus.  Make sure you take some photos, maybe get lunch,  or a treat.  Or, if you just want to grab your pumpkin and go...you can do that too!  (But we would suggest you plan about 2 hours for the outdoor events, machine demonstrations and gold panning)  Will we need additional money?Your admission gives you full access to all games and demonstrations.  You may purchase your pumpkins in advance and you will receive a token to use to "pay" for your pumpkin.  You CAN absolutely enjoy a full day and leave without spending any additional money.However....we do have food trucks, face painters, and a farmers market that would all require additional purchases. If you want to stop in our Museum Rock n' Gift Shop, that is open.   If you want to purchase additional pumpkins or gourds...or if you want to catapult or smash your pumpkin, that would be an additional donation as well.  Credit Cards are accepted as well as cash.Thank you for your support, this is our primary fundraiser of the year. We do appreciate our community!Can we reserve a time for our team or group?Yes you can!!!  Contact Jaime for full details---the Pumpkin Patch makes a GREAT group event!  719-488-0880 or [email protected] you have any other questions, please feel free to call the museum at 719-488-0880  or email Jackie at [email protected]  MINERS’ PUMPKIN PATCHFor information, please call 719-488-0880 Purchase Miners' Pumpkin Patch Tickets AAM 225 North Gate Blvd Colorado springs, Colorado 80921 Phone (719) 488-0880 Contact Who We Are Plan Your Visit Get Involved Education News & Events This form needs Javascript to display, which your browser doesn't support.
