Pumpkin Splash Patch

If pumpkins and pool days had a baby, it would be Pumpkin Splash Patch in El Dorado Hills. Picture it: the pool sparkles with floating pumpkins, kids paddle out to claim their favorite, and parents get the kind of fall photos that end up on grandma’s fridge till spring.

Why it’s a win:
• Floating pumpkin patch: kiddos choose a pumpkin in the water—pure October magic.
• Supervised fun: lifeguards on duty and a simple format that’s easy for families.
• Photo moments: festive backdrops and big smiles in goggles and capes.
• Less chaos, more joy: timed sessions mean manageable crowds and happier humans.

What to expect :
• Check-in, quick safety rundown, then splash time.
• Each child selects one pumpkin.
• Post-swim area for drying off, decorating, or a quick cocoa.
• Costumes encouraged—over swimwear or swapped on after.

Pro tips:
• Arrive 15–20 minutes early to park, check in, and sunscreen up.
• Swim shirts keep little ghouls warm; pools can feel brisk in fall.
• Label towels—pumpkin hunting makes everything look identical.
• A dry change of clothes = cozy exit and zero parking-lot meltdowns.

Good to know:
• Age/height guidelines and parent-in-water rules can apply for younger swimmers.
• Sessions often sell out; book in advance and choose your time slot carefully.
• Most venues prohibit glass and outside inflatables; follow posted rules.
