In Dallas–Fort Worth, three of the four places on our Grapevine page don’t allow dogs, and the Dallas Arboretum doesn’t say.

Wherever you go, don’t leave a dog in the car. Blessington Farms makes the point on its own rules page, and October in Houston is still warm.

Hours, prices, what’s there and how to get in touch for the six Houston-area patches above. For the rest of Texas, tap a name in the table at the top to see its full card on its city page.

Each listing was built from the farm's own website, calendar and ticket pages, then confirmed by email where those pages disagreed with one another. The date of that check sits on every listing above.

Rosehill confirmed its dog rule by email. FCC Katy’s comes from the church itself, and Harvest Season’s from the farm. The rest come from each farm’s own rules, FAQ or event pages, read on 22 September. HALTER’s rules page still shows 2025, so treat that one as last year’s.
