'The Patch' Offers Family-Fun Activities Through The Weekend In Glenpool

This is the last week in Green Country to visit a pumpkin patch before they close for the season.

The Patch has two locations in Sand Springs and Glenpool.

It is owned by the family behind Big Blast Fireworks.

"When we launched our fireworks endeavor, I got to thinking what else can we do seasonally that would make sense," said Melissa Torkleson.

At the time she had two young boys and created a place they would enjoy. Torkleson calls it an activity based pumpkin patch.

"You can come and of course pick out pumpkins and take beautiful photos, but if you decide to go out into our activity area, we have over 16 activities," she said. "It is all unlimited play, you could be here for four hours if you wanted, and it is just one low price."

The activity pass costs $10 per person. There is a corn maze, petting zoo, 50-foot jumping pad, slides, a toddler zone, and more.

"We started building more tube slides this year, so those are a huge hit with big kids and little kids," said Torkleson.

The pumpkin patch is a lot of work, but she said it is all worth it to see families spending time together.

"Hearing those kids and just the excitement and joy in their voice, that is why I am doing this," Torkleson said. "I love hearing that they had an excellent time."
