A fall festival with a 4-acre corn maze, hayrides, pig races, and a haunted corn maze (Nightmare Acres) at night. Much later weekend hours than traditional farms. Pricing and exact 2026 dates not confirmed.
Black Island Farms is a fall festival in Syracuse, Utah (Davis County, Salt Lake region), built around a 4-acre corn maze, hayrides, pig races, and Nightmare Acres, a haunted corn maze attraction.
The critical detail: this is an evening and night event, not a daytime farm visit.
Monday–Friday: 4–10pm Saturday–Sunday: 10pm–midnight
The weekday window is manageable (4–10pm allows a 2–3 hour visit). The weekend schedule is genuinely late — 10pm start means a midnight closing. This is marketed toward older kids, teenagers, and adults seeking after-hours entertainment, not families with young children expecting a Saturday morning pumpkin patch visit.
If you are planning a daytime family outing, Black Island Farms is not a fit.
Beyond the corn maze, the farm offers hayrides, pig races, and Nightmare Acres (a haunted maze). The record does not itemize which activities operate daily or what they cost, so those are questions for a direct contact.
The 4-acre maze is the core attraction. With evening operation, the atmosphere is different from daytime farm visits — lower light, a different clientele, more entertainment focus.
Arriving at 4pm (weekday earliest) or 10pm (weekend) requires planning your day around the farm, not fitting the farm into your day. Late evening visits (8–10pm weekday, 11pm–midnight weekend) mean driving home in the dark, which affects logistics if you have young children.
Black Island Farms is in Davis County, in the Salt Lake region just north of Salt Lake City. It is accessible from the Wasatch Front metro area. Evening operation compresses demand into after-work/school hours, so expect families arriving after 5–6pm on weekdays and evening crowds on weekends.
2026 exact closing date and activity-specific pricing are not confirmed. Call (801) 825-6236 before visiting to confirm hours, costs, and whether specific activities (pig races, Nightmare Acres) are operating on your intended date.
The weather note: Utah Valley in late September is mild; October is cool; November is cold and can include early snow. Layers are essential, especially for evening visits.
September 19 through November 1, 2026 (opening date confirmed for Sept 19, closing day estimated). Hours vary significantly by day: Mon–Fri 4–10pm, Sat–Sun 10pm–midnight. Note the midnight closing on weekends — this is an evening/night event, not a daytime farm. Daytime visiting is not practical.
2–3 hours for corn maze, hayrides, and general activities. The haunted attraction portion (Nightmare Acres) takes additional time if attempted.
Hours compressed into evening. Weekday evenings (Mon–Fri 4–10pm) will be quieter than weekend nights (10pm–midnight). Later time slots (after 9pm) are much less crowded.
