Bay Meadows

Fall is the ideal time to grab a light sweater and step outside to partake in a variety of old-fashioned family fun around the area including hayrides, haunted houses and of course picking the perfect pumpkin for Halloween. Life at Bay Meadows means being closer to the many things that make us nostalgic for autumn. Kick off the season by finding your decorative gourds and future jack-o-lanterns at one of these Peninsula spots:
