Autumn is the time to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/timeshare-rentals\">rent a timeshare<\/a> and spend a week enjoying a harvest of foods, fun and family memories. To help you in your hunt for the perfect pumpkin patch for your family&#8217;s timeshare vacation, we have looked at the ones available in 5 different states, and will offer them up in five different articles. Our first is Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/browse\/North+America\/United+States\/Arizona\/Phoenix-timeshares\">Phoenix timeshare<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/browse\/North+America\/United+States\/Arizona\/Scottsdale-timeshares\">Scottsdale timeshare<\/a> rental in sunny Arizona is a great place to enjoy warm days hunting that special pumpkin. Autumn in this beautiful state is lovely and inviting as the desert heat of summer fades. <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>MacDonald&#8217;s Ranch<\/b><br \/>Note right off that this is a &#8220;ranch&#8221; not a farm. To begin with, it is a premier horseback riding stable located in the Sonoran Desert of Scottsdale. Staying a week in your timeshare rental will give you plenty of time to enjoy all that this special place has to offer. Yup, you&#8217;ll find plenty of pumpkins (see photo)- all waiting for you to pick out in the field. You can even take a hay ride out to the field and back &#8211; an easy way to carry that giant pumpkin! There is also a maze made out of hay bales.\n<p>The ranch offers guided horseback rides. Choose from breakfast rides and dinner rides, both offering hearty cowboy fare around a campfire. For your little tykes there are pony rides as well as a petting zoo.<\/p>\n<p>The fun just doesn\u2019t stop &#8211; there are also sacks for entering the sack race, a Gem Mine, a &#8220;Western&#8221; golf game, horseshoe pits, and don&#8217;t forget to grab a ride on the authentic Stage Coach!<\/p>\n<li><b>Schnepf  Farms<\/b><br \/>This is a true farm that offers &#8220;Farm Fresh Fun.&#8221; Through out October that fun includes picking pumpkins, pumpkin decorating, and even getting to make your own scarecrow. With live music and bonfires, the &#8220;Pumpkin and Chili Party&#8221; gets started. Voted &#8220;The best family fall experience&#8221; by Phoenix magazine, and listed in the Top 5 Pumpkin Farms in the Southwest by Sunset Magazine, this is another place that could take you a week to see and do everything.\n<p>These are just a few of the activities that await you: Hay rides, miniature golf, 4 acre Sonic Burger Maze, country road rally, honeybee adventure, carousel rides, petting barn, Hillbilly Bob&#8217;s Pig Races, Flying Farmers ride (under 32&#8243; tall), new Pumpkin Launch, new Witch Mountain giant slide, Arizona&#8217;s only gravity roller coaster (over 32&#8243; tall), straw bale maze, Rock climbing wall, lil&#8217; farmers play yard with lil&#8217; farmer town, and a spectacular fireworks show on Friday and Saturday nights.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After you\u2019ve found the perfect pumpkin, enjoy the rest of what Arizona has to offer: Day spas, golf courses, renowned museums, dining and great shopping for Southwestern art and jewelry in a city with plenty of Old West charm.<\/p>\n<p>Read Part 2 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/redweek.com\/2010\/09\/vermont-timeshares-and-fall-fun-in.html\">Vermont Fun and Fall Fun in the Pumpkin Patch<\/a><br \/>Read Part 3 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/redweek.com\/2010\/10\/halloween-fun-near-california.html\">Halloween Fun Near California Timeshares<\/a><br \/>Read Part 4 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/redweek.com\/2010\/10\/wisconsin-timeshare-rentals-fall-family.html\">Wisconsin Timeshare Rentals: A Fall Family Tradition<\/a><br \/>Read Part 5 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/redweek.com\/2010\/10\/oahu-timeshares-and-hawaii-pumpkin.html\">Oahu Timeshares and the Hawaii Pumpkin Patch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Photo credit macdonaldsranch.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fall is such a fun time for families when you can find a great Pumpkin Patch!
