A family-owned farm near Lake Tahoe and Sacramento with a 5-acre corn maze, haunted attraction, and zombie paintball, but hours and pricing are not published online — call ahead to confirm 2026 details.
Andelin Family Farm sits just outside Reno in Sparks, positioned between Lake Tahoe to the west and Sacramento to the north. The 5-acre corn maze is the anchor, with farm animals, u-pick experiences, and entertainment attractions (the Corn Creepers haunted experience and zombie paintball) filling out the offering.
Five acres is a substantial commitment and a real challenge. It is not a quick novelty maze but a genuine puzzle that can occupy an hour or two depending on skill, age, and how lost you are willing to get. For families or groups who love mazes, this is the draw.
The farm offers a spooky attraction and paintball activity, which signals it is thinking beyond the standard daytime pumpkin-patch model. These are likely evening-only or special-event attractions, and they appeal to older kids, teens, and adults. Confirm whether they run the entire month or only certain evenings, and what age recommendations or restrictions apply.
The farm actively promotes itself as a venue for parties, field trips, and corporate events. That suggests good infrastructure for larger groups and experience managing organized outings. If you are planning a birthday party, school trip, or company outing, this farm has that bandwidth.
Sparks is the east side of the Reno metro, a short drive from Lake Tahoe and a couple of hours from Sacramento. If you are visiting the Tahoe area in early October for leaf color and hiking, this farm is a reasonable add-on. If you are coming from central California, it is doable as a day trip.
Hours and pricing are not published online for 2026. The farm website confirms fall dates (Sept 30–Oct 30) but leaves the details to direct contact. That is frustrating if you are planning remotely, but it is the reality for farms that prioritize group bookings and word-of-mouth over public-facing scheduling. Calling or checking their website closer to your target date is the path to concrete details.
This farm is a solid choice if you are in the Reno/Tahoe region, interested in a substantial corn maze, or planning a group outing. For remote planning with limited published information, the friction is higher than farms with detailed websites. Call ahead to lock in hours, pricing, and which activities are available on your target date.
September 30 through October 30, 2026 (confirmed dates from website). Specific hours not published; contact the farm at andelinfamilyfarm.com or by calling to ask about daytime and evening availability. If the haunted attraction is your draw, confirm whether it runs the full month or only certain evenings.
Three to four hours for the 5-acre maze, farm animals, and core activities. Add time if you are doing the Corn Creepers haunted attraction or zombie paintball in the evening.
Limited information. A farm with parties, field trips, and corporate events suggests organized scheduling, which can mean less chaotic walk-up crowds than commercial operations, or scheduled busy times depending on bookings.

You need published hours and pricing before committing to the drive. The farm website confirms the fall dates but does not detail 2026 hours or costs. You will need to call or check their website directly closer to your visit date. Skip it too if you are coming from outside the region; the lack of published details makes remote planning difficult.
