One of the few South Florida patches attached to a genuine 80-acre working farm, and worth the ticket if you go on a weekday — the weekend surcharge adds roughly $28 to a family of four for the same festival.
2025 pricing: $20.99 per person weekdays, $27.99 per person weekends, children under 2 free. A 2024 write-up gave $20.99 weekday / $25.99 weekend, plus free admission for veterans and active military with one guest on opening weekend. Admission covers the pumpkin patch, Animal EDventure park, tractor ride, corn maze and sunflower maze; some vendor activities cost extra. Bedner's has published a 'Fall Festival 2026' page but no 2026 dates or prices yet.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $83.96 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Bedner’s is a real farm, and that is the thing to hold onto when you are comparing it against the more manufactured fall festivals in South Florida. The hayride goes around 80 acres of working ground. The market sells produce because the farm grows produce, not as a gift-shop gesture. In a region where the fall-festival category is mostly nurseries, parks and animal attractions dressing up for October, that is a genuine point of difference.
It is also, unavoidably, a paid festival, and paid festivals only make sense if you stay.
The 2025 gate was $20.99 per person on a weekday and $27.99 at a weekend. That covers a lot: the pumpkin patch, the Animal EDventure petting park, the tractor ride around the farm, the corn maze and the sunflower maze. The list of things that are not covered is shorter but predictable — the vendor booths, face painting, some games, and food.
Do the arithmetic before you go rather than at the gate. Two adults and two children over 2 is about $84 on a weekday. The same family on a Saturday is about $112. Add lunch, a couple of pumpkins and one round of vendor activities and the weekend version of this day passes $170 without anyone doing anything extravagant. Nothing is hidden here; it just adds up faster than the headline number suggests.
The corollary is that a two-hour visit is bad value and a four-hour visit is good value. If your children will not last four hours in October heat, the weekday price is the version of this trip you want.
Florida’s climate does not support a commercial fall pumpkin crop. The pumpkins in the patch at Bedner’s, as at essentially every patch in the state, were grown somewhere else, trucked in and arranged. That is not a criticism of the farm — it is how the entire Florida industry works — but if your mental picture involves vines and a New England field, adjust it now rather than in the parking lot.
The sunflowers are a different story. South Florida can grow sunflowers in the fall, this is a working farm, and a sunflower maze and u-pick field is the sort of thing a produce operation can actually deliver. If the field is standing when you go, it is the most genuinely agricultural thing on the property and the best photographs you will get.
Every attraction that matters here is outdoors and unshaded: the maze, the sunflower field, the tractor ride, the patch itself. Late September and October in Palm Beach County means high-80s heat, high humidity and a reliable afternoon thunderstorm. Going at opening rather than after lunch is not a nicety, it is the difference between a good day and a group of miserable children in a corn maze.
Rain has a second-order effect too. Farm parking in Florida is nearly always a field, and a field after a storm is mud between your car and the gate.
Two things to check by phone, because the farm’s own 2026 festival page was still an empty banner in late August: the actual opening date, and the day-of-week u-pick schedule. Past seasons have had u-pick closed all day Tuesday, and the published hours vary across sources — one 2025 listing said 10am to 7pm, a 2024 write-up said 9am to 5pm. The market’s own hours, 9am to 6pm daily, are the most consistently reported figure on the whole record, and the market is free.
A weekday, and early in the day. In 2025 the gap between weekday and weekend admission was $7 per person, which is the single largest lever you have here. Palm Beach County in late September and October is still summer in every way that matters, and the farm's attractions — corn maze, sunflower field, tractor ride — are open ground with no shade. Note that u-pick has been closed all day Tuesday in past seasons, so a Tuesday trip gets you the festival without the field.
Three to four hours. The admission covers enough — pumpkin patch, Animal EDventure, tractor ride, corn maze and sunflower maze — that a one-hour stop wastes most of what you paid for. Add another 30-45 minutes if you plan to shop the farm market afterwards, which most people do.
Weekends carry both the price premium and the crowd, which is a rare case of the pricing telling you the truth. Opening weekend historically draws extra traffic because of the veterans and active-military free-admission promotion, so it is a poor choice if you want space.
Not documented in what the farm publishes. Assume what is true of nearly every Florida farm: an unpaved field or grass overflow, which turns soft after the afternoon storms that run well into October. Shoes you don't mind, not sandals.
The farm has not published accessibility details. An 80-acre working farm means grass, dirt and tractor tracks between attractions, so a small-wheeled stroller will struggle and a wheelchair user should call ahead rather than assume. The market building itself is a normal retail space and a much safer bet.
You only want a pumpkin. Admission is per person with no cheaper walk-in tier published, so a family of four is looking at roughly $84 on a weekday and $112 on a weekend in 2025 money before a single pumpkin, snack or vendor activity. Also skip it if your group is all adults with no interest in petting zoos — the market alone is free and gives you the pleasant part without the gate.
Boynton Beach and the western Palm Beach County agricultural belt are a straightforward drive from most of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale corridor. If you are coming from Broward, Flamingo Road Nursery in Davie is the free, low-commitment alternative on the way — a 45-minute stop rather than a paid half-day, and a useful backup if the weather turns.
The farm had not published 2026 prices when we last checked. In 2025 it was $20.99 per person on weekdays and $27.99 at weekends, with children under 2 free. A 2024 write-up gave $20.99 weekday and $25.99 weekend, so the weekend rate has been drifting upward. Treat these as a guide, not a quote.
In past seasons, the pumpkin patch, the Animal EDventure petting park, the tractor ride, the corn maze and the sunflower maze. Some vendor activities — face painting, certain games and food — are charged separately on top.
The farm market is open every day 9am-6pm and is a separate, free destination. Whether you can buy a pumpkin there without a festival ticket is not something the farm publishes, so call ahead if that is your plan.
In past seasons u-pick has run every day except Tuesday, closing one hour before the store. If u-pick is the reason you are going, avoid Tuesday.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: Market open every day 9am-6pm. The fall festival has run daily in past seasons, with u-pick closed all day Tuesday.. Check with the farm before driving out.
