Finding everything from pumpkin patches to corn mazes we&#8217;ve seen some great places for autumn fun. But along with coconut palms and mango trees, would you ever have thought of Hawaii as a destination for fall festivities?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/browse\/North+America\/United+States\/Hawaii\/Oahu-timeshares\">Rent a timeshare on Oahu<\/a> and discover that Hawaii is also a great state for enjoying traditional fall fun &#8211; with a real pumpkin patch, no less!<\/p>\n<p><b>Aloun Farms<\/b> is where you&#8217;ll find The Great Pumpkin Patch in Kapolei. No kidding. From 5 acres of leased land in 1977 the Aloun Sou family has increased production of farm fresh produce to over 3,000 acres. With 80% of fruits and vegetables being imported into the Hawaiian Islands, a source of locally grown produce was long overdue, and Aloun Farms has become widely popular.<\/p>\n<p>Realizing that kids of all ages who live on Oahu still enjoy traditional fall festival activities, the Sou family began offering a pumpkin patch experience comparable to any found on the mainland. <\/p>\n<p>Although soft trade winds and guava juice take the place of autumn winds and apple cider, you still get to take a hay ride out to the huge pumpkin patch and wander through all of the pumpkin offerings that not only include huge bright-orange jack-o-lantern pumpkins, but also white pumpkins, mini pumpkins, baby pumpkins, and even ornamental gourds. <\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone by any mainland pumpkin patch, Aloun Farms does this autumn tradition up in a big way. Take a look at last year&#8217;s numbers: Their vast orange fields &#8211; 83 acres to be exact &#8211; yielded approximately 71,000 jack-o-lantern pumpkins, 20,000 cooking pumpkins, and114,000 miniature decorative pumpkins. Some pumpkins are 40 pounds and up.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the pumpkin patch, there is a corn field where, for an additional fee, you can pick as much corn as you could carry in a 5 gallon bucket. This fun-filled fall family event also includes pony rides, farm style food including roasted corn, a petting zoo, and there&#8217;s even a beautiful picnic area. Oh, and be sure not to miss the Flyin&#8217; Hawaiian Pumpkin Slingshot!<\/p>\n<p>Who would have thought that you could take a traditional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/browse\/North+America\/United+States\/Hawaii-timeshares\">Hawaiian timeshare<\/a> rental vacation complete with beaches, out-riggers, and luaus, and mix in there somewhere a real autumn pumpkin patch.
