Summers Farm Fall Festival

Summers Farm Fall Festival

Summers Farm has been running this for more than thirty years and the scale shows. One admission covers 45-plus activities: a five-acre corn maze with a shorter mini maze for smaller kids, wagon rides out to the pumpkin patch, giant slides, corn pits, jumping pillows, barnyard animals, a pumpkin train, rubber ducky races. The maze hands you a passport of clues, which is what turns it from a possible meltdown into a game. Some families find the exit in half an hour. Some wander for two.

The gap between booking ahead and walking up is real money. Advance tickets are $19.95 and the gate price is $23.95, so a family of four saves $16 by buying online. Kids two and under are free. A few things cost extra, including the Mega Slide and the Apple Blaster, and those are flagged on the farm’s attractions list. Hours move around as the season goes: weekends only in September, then Wednesday through Sunday from October 7, with Friday and Saturday running until 9pm. Check the calendar for your specific date instead of assuming.

Parent Tips 💡

• ✓Buy tickets online before you go. It is $19.95 in advance versus $23.95 at the gate, and that gap multiplies by every person in the car.
• ✓Check the calendar for your date. September is weekends only, and October weekday gates do not open until 1pm.
• ✓Weekday afternoons are calmer, but the pumpkin train, Mega Slide and Apple Blaster only run 3:30 to 6:30pm on weekdays. Arrive at 1pm and half the headline rides are dark.
• ✓Wear boots you can hose off. It is a working farm, the lots are grass, and the corn maze holds water for days after rain.
• ✓No pets, and the last wagon ride is 6pm. Service animals only, and that 6pm cutoff holds every day no matter what the closing time says.
