Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch Celebrates Decades of Halloween Fun in Los Angeles

Los Angeles families are once again flocking to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch, a seasonal destination that has been providing Halloween entertainment for nearly four decades. Since its inception in 1987, the pumpkin patch has become a cherished tradition, offering a festive atmosphere with ghouls, gourds, and a taste of farm life within the city.

The patch, which began in Westwood, later moved to locations near Beverly Hills and West Hollywood before settling in its current Culver City spot at 10100 Jefferson Blvd. Its origins trace back to founders Becky and David Campbell, who were inspired by their farm in Silverton, Oregon, and sought to bring a similar rural experience to urban children.

Lyra Marble, Becky's daughter, took over operations in 2001, and her father, Steven, has since contributed to the patch's design. Visitors frequently praise the patch for its photogenic setting and its ability to evoke a sense of being in the countryside.

"Mr. Bones is great for pictures and we love the farm vibe and location," said visitor Andrea, who attended with her husband and young son. "I feel like I’m in the countryside within the city."

Amy Moreno, visiting with her children, echoed this sentiment, stating, "We love Mr. Bones because it’s a great, safe place for the kids to play get into the Halloween mood."

In addition to its regular attractions, Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch is scheduled to host a Dia de los Muertos celebration on October 25, featuring traditional festivities for the Mexican holiday.

The pumpkin patch will be open through October 31, with operating hours varying by day. More information can be found on the patch's website.
