CINCINNATI — It's fall, which means it's time to drink pumpkin spice lattes, pull out your sweaters and go to pumpkin patches.

There's tons of pumpkin patches to choose from in the Tri-State — in fact, here's nine of the biggest we covered already.

Whether you're wanting to find some pumpkin to carve with the family or simply enjoy the pumpkin patch for the atmosphere or photo ops (we're not judging), here are nine more of the top pumpkin patches to go to this fall:
