No. Admission and parking are free, and pumpkins range from $7 to $43. Cash and credit cards are accepted, and there is an ATM on site.

What are the hours?

Monday through Thursday 10 AM to 4 PM, Friday 10 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 9 AM to 6 PM.

What is different on weekends?

Saturdays and Sundays through October 25 add tractor-drawn hayrides, a petting zoo with chickens, ducks and rabbits, pony rides, face painting, inflatables and live music, plus barbecue and pizza. On weekdays there are farm animals, two hay mazes sized for younger and older kids, and a snack stand with ice cream.

Any tips for parking or pets?

Parking is a small lot by the entrance with an overflow lot behind the farm, and the farm suggests arriving early. Only service animals are allowed.
