What to expect in San Diego Region
9 of the 40 California patches we track are in San Diego Region, spread across San Diego County. 8 of them run a corn or crop maze, and 6 have farm animals your kids can get close to. 6 have their 2026 dates confirmed on the farm's own site.
One patch here is free to walk into, which makes it the low-risk option with unpredictable toddlers — you are not out $80 if the visit lasts twenty minutes.
