An honest, unpretentious lawn-games-and-hay-bales patch open every day in October, restocked with Texas-grown pumpkins several times a month - but the only price we could find is a $30 family monthly pass, not a single-visit rate.
The site advertises a $30 figure described as a per-family/vehicle monthly membership rather than a clearly stated per-visit gate price, so a single-visit admission could not be confirmed and price_from is left null. Pumpkins are purchased separately.
Two things make this patch worth a page of its own, and neither is an attraction.
The first is candour about where the pumpkins come from. The site says plainly that its pumpkins are grown in Texas and brought in fresh several times a month. That sentence does two jobs at once. It tells you this is a display patch - you are choosing from stock that arrived on a truck, not walking a field with a cutter - and it tells you the stock is refreshed repeatedly rather than dumped once on October 1.
Most Texas metro patches operate exactly this way and simply do not say so. Saying so is useful, and the restocking detail is genuinely actionable: at a single-delivery patch, the good pumpkins are gone by the third weekend and the last week is picked-over seconds. Here, a visit on October 28 should still find decent stock. If you are the kind of household that carves late, that is the reason to choose this place.
Monday through Thursday, 3pm to 7pm. Friday through Sunday, and Columbus Day, 11am to 7pm. Open every day of the month.
The weekday block is unusual and clearly deliberate. It is built around the school run - collect the children, drive out, spend two hours, home for dinner - and almost nothing else in the San Antonio area offers that. It also happens to be the right end of a Texas October day, with the heat coming off and the light improving through the whole window.
If you have any flexibility at all, go on a Tuesday. The Friday-to-Sunday crowd exists for the obvious reason and there is nothing at this patch that gets better with more people in it.
Here is where the record runs out. The only price on the site is $30, and it is presented as a per-family or per-vehicle monthly membership rather than a gate fee. We could not find a single-visit rate, so we have deliberately not published one.
That leaves two possibilities and they point in opposite directions. If $30 is essentially the price of admission for a carload, this is expensive for what it is - a set of lawn games and a hay bale maze - compared with a $20-a-head farm that has an 8-acre maze and a zipline. If $30 is a genuine month pass and single visits are cheaper, the local family that goes three times in October is getting one of the best deals in the region, and the weekday hours exist precisely to make repeat visits practical.
Five minutes on the phone to 210-960-3394 resolves it. Ask what one visit costs, and ask what the $30 pass covers and whether it is per family or per vehicle. Then decide.
Read the attraction list literally: hayride, monster truck school bus ride, hay bale maze, obstacle course, calf roping station, putting green, cornhole, giant Connect Four, jumbo Jenga, sack races, sandbox, board games, photo setups.
That is a village fete, in the best sense. It is cheap-feeling, low-tech fun that a five-year-old will happily loop through twice. It is also, unmistakably, not a corn maze farm. There is no cornfield, no night maze, no zipline, no mega slide. A ten-year-old who has been to one of the big ticketed operations west of San Antonio will compare, and will not compare favourably.
Bring the small ones on a weekday afternoon, take the photographs, buy a pumpkin, and be home by seven. That is the trip this place does well.
Open daily October 1 to 31, 2026, including Columbus Day. Monday to Thursday it runs 3pm to 7pm; Friday to Sunday and Columbus Day it opens at 11am and still closes at 7pm. The weekday afternoon block is the interesting one - it exists to catch the after-school run, and a 3pm to 7pm window in October in Comal County covers the best light and the coolest hours of the day. Anyone with a Wednesday afternoon free should take it over a Saturday.
Ninety minutes to two hours. The attraction list is broad but shallow - lawn games, a hay bale maze, an obstacle course - and a family will work through it comfortably in an afternoon without feeling rushed.
A daily October operation spreads demand better than the weekends-only farms around San Antonio. Weekday afternoons should be genuinely quiet; the Friday-to-Sunday 11am start plus Columbus Day is where the volume goes.
Not published. The site is on West Ammann Road in Bulverde and the record does not describe the surface, so assume the usual grass or gravel and soft ground after rain.
Not addressed. A hay bale maze and an obstacle course imply uneven footing, though a games-and-photo patch is generally flatter than a farm with hayride routes and cornfields. Call 210-960-3394 to ask.
You want a working farm. The patch is candid that its pumpkins are Texas-grown but brought in fresh several times a month, which means this is a display and photo patch, not a field you pick from. Skip it too if you have older children expecting a corn maze, a zipline or night attractions - none of that is here, and a twelve-year-old will be finished in forty minutes.
Bulverde is on the northern edge of the San Antonio metro in Comal County, at the point where the suburbs give way to the Hill Country. It pairs naturally with a Hill Country drive rather than with another patch - the bigger ticketed farms in the region are west and southwest of the city, in the opposite direction.
We could not confirm a single-visit admission price. The only figure on the site is $30, presented as a per-family or per-vehicle monthly membership rather than a gate fee. Pumpkins are purchased separately. Call 210-960-3394 to confirm what one visit costs before you drive out.
No. The patch states its pumpkins are grown in Texas and brought in fresh several times a month. That is more transparency than most Texas display patches offer, and the repeat restocking is a real advantage late in the season, but you are choosing from a delivered display rather than cutting from a field.
Monday to Thursday 3pm to 7pm; Friday to Sunday 11am to 7pm; Columbus Day 11am to 7pm. Open every day of October 2026.
No. There is a hay bale maze, which is a different and much smaller thing, along with an obstacle course, a hayride, a monster truck school bus ride and a long list of lawn games.
October 1 – October 31, 2026. Daily throughout October, including Columbus Day. Hours: Monday-Thursday 3:00pm-7:00pm; Friday-Sunday 11:00am-7:00pm; Columbus Day 11:00am-7:00pm.
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. The site advertises a $30 figure described as a per-family/vehicle monthly membership rather than a clearly stated per-visit gate price, so a single-visit admission could not be confirmed and price_from is left null. Pumpkins are purchased separately.
