Family-focused Snohomish operation with consistent daily hours (10 a.m.–7 p.m.), story-trail corn maze, and a dedicated kids' corn maze alongside standard pumpkin patch activities.
Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm operates on a simple premise: consistent daily hours (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.), family-friendly activities, and a story-trail corn maze designed to entertain kids while they navigate. With 309 recent Yelp reviews (updated August 2026), it’s a established, well-trafficked operation that has earned its reputation for reliable family experience.
The signature draw is the corn maze with integrated story elements. Rather than just walking through corn, kids encounter characters, scenes, or narrative checkpoints as they solve the maze. It’s a clever twist that keeps the experience engaging for younger kids (ages 4–7) who might otherwise get frustrated by traditional maze dead ends.
Crucially, Bob’s offers both a kids’ corn maze and the larger story-trail maze. If you’re bringing mixed ages (toddlers plus older kids), you can split up: younger kids navigate the simpler maze while parents and older siblings tackle the story trail. This beats situations where one activity suits everyone or splits your group unhappily.
Beyond the mazes, the farm has a trike track (kids riding tricycles on a designated path), a corn cannon, playground, and firepits. The apple doughnuts are highlighted in multiple reviews as a step above typical pumpkin-patch fair food—they’re likely made fresh or sourced from a quality vendor. The country store stocks the typical pumpkin-patch fare: candy, fall décor, honey, local products.
Firepits and bonfires are mentioned as activities; this suggests you can rent a pit or gather for an evening. Confirm current pricing and whether it requires advance reservation.
Budget 2–3 hours for a solid visit: maze time (30–60 minutes depending on difficulty and group size), pumpkin picking (30–45 minutes), and rotating through smaller activities. If you’re adding a firepit evening, add another 1–2 hours.
The consistent daily hours (every day, 10 a.m.–7 p.m.) are a practical advantage over farms that operate weekends only. If you have flexibility mid-week, visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday and avoid the Saturday crush.
309 reviews mean this place is well-known locally. Weekends (especially peak October weekends) will draw families from the Seattle metro area. Parking and maze waits can be significant on Saturdays. Mid-week visits are noticeably quieter and more relaxed.
If you’re planning an evening firepit visit, a mid-week off-peak time might be easier for the farm to accommodate your group without chaos.
Snohomish Valley sits west of the Cascades, where October rain is frequent and field parking turns muddy. Bring waterproof boots and a rain jacket. If you’re planning a firepit evening, layers are essential—October dusk cools quickly. The trike track and playground will be muddy after rain; waterproof shoes for kids are worth the trouble.
2026 opening dates and admission prices were not published as of late August. Call (360) 668-2506 to confirm what’s operating and current rates. Firepit rentals likely have separate pricing; ask about reservation requirements and group size limits.
Bob’s Corn Maze works best for families with kids ages 4–10 who enjoy story-based mazes and firepit time. The kids’ maze option is a genuine advantage for mixed-age groups. Reliable hours and consistent operations make it a dependable choice. Go mid-week to avoid crowds; the experience doesn’t change but the stress does.
Any day October is open (hours 10 a.m.–7 p.m. daily); mid-week for fewer crowds, evenings if your kids enjoy dusk fireside time.
2–3 hours
309 recent Yelp reviews (updated August 2026) suggest consistent popularity. Weekends will be busier; mid-week visits are quieter.
Farm field parking; typical west-of-Cascades terrain means mud if rain precedes your visit.
Corn mazes require walking; firepits and playgrounds have some accessibility but are not fully wheelchair accessible.
You want free admission, a high-novelty experience, or cannot manage a 309-review crowd on weekends.
Elliott Road in Snohomish is rural; few dining options nearby. Eat before or after rather than expecting substantial farm-stand meals.
