A family-operated multi-activity farm in the Midlands with clear pricing, unlimited wagon rides, playground, and maze—all for $20 ages 3+—plus optional professional photography and birthday-party hosting.
Corn Maze $20 (ages 3+), Pumpkin Patch only $3 (ages 3+); children 2 and under free
Rough cost for a family of four: about $80.00 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.
Clinton Sease Farm is a long-running Lexington operation in South Carolina’s Midlands—the region between the Upstate’s Blue Ridge influence and the coast’s subtropical warmth. October in the Midlands is reliably mild: daytime temperatures in the 65–75°F range, evenings in the mid-50s or lower. This is excellent for full-day farm activities without summer heat or winter cold.
Admission to the corn maze is $20 per person ages 3 and up. Children 2 and under enter free. This flat admission includes the corn maze, unlimited hay-wagon rides, playground access, and an obstacle course. This is comprehensive value: a family of four (two adults, two children 3–12) pays $80 to access all four attractions for the entire visit.
The pumpkin patch is separate: a $3 per-person U-pick (or pre-selected purchase; confirm on arrival) or it can be bundled with maze admission. If pumpkin shopping is incidental, skip the $3 add-on. If it’s central to your visit, add $6–$12 depending on family size.
Food vendors on-site offer kettle corn and soft-serve ice cream. Bring or budget for these, or pack non-perishable snacks to reduce concession costs.
The corn maze is the headline attraction. Completion typically takes 45 minutes to 1+ hour depending on age and maze-solving approach. Unlimited wagon rides mean you can board hay wagons multiple times during your visit—useful if children want repeated experiences or if you want a break between other activities.
The playground accommodates younger children and gives older kids space to burn energy between maze attempts. The obstacle course is listed but not detailed on the website. If age-appropriateness or difficulty level matters to your group, call ahead. Most farm obstacle courses are designed for children 6+ and involve balance, climbing, or crawling elements.
Professional photography is available for an additional fee (pricing not listed). If you want to book family photos on-site, confirm pricing and booking process before your visit.
The farm operates September 25 through November 8, giving you over six weeks. October is ideal for comfort and atmosphere. Early November in the Midlands is still pleasant—cooler than October but without frost risk. Hours shift seasonally: Friday 6pm–10pm, Saturday 10am–10pm, Sunday 2pm–7pm. Tickets sell until 1 hour before closing.
Saturday is unquestionably busiest, especially mid-October. If you want shorter wait times and manageable crowds, Friday or Sunday visits are your advantage. The extended Saturday hours (until 10pm) accommodate families with other commitments.
The farm hosts birthday parties. If you’re considering a group celebration, call the farm to confirm availability and pricing details.
Clinton Sease is efficient value if your household likes all-day activity clusters and flat pricing. The $20 admission includes multiple attractions, which simplifies budgeting and reduces decision fatigue during the visit. The obstacle course and pumpkin-patch details are vague in the published information, so call ahead if these are central to your expectations. The Midlands location and October weather are genuine practical advantages compared to more-northern Upstate farms or the warmer coast.
October Saturdays (full hours, full activities, autumn atmosphere) or early November for a quieter experience and mild Midlands weather.
3–4 hours for maze, unlimited wagon rides, and playground time; add 45 minutes if booking professional photos.
Saturdays are fully booked. Fridays and Sundays are quieter with manageable wait times.
On-site farm parking; rural unpaved lot typical for this region.
Not detailed on website; call ahead to confirm playground and ADA accommodations.
You want U-pick pumpkin activities; the pumpkin patch here is a separate $3 visit or included with maze admission, not a full U-pick experience.
Lexington is 20 minutes from Columbia's downtown and riverfront parks (Riverfront Park, if visiting November). Santee Cooper Lakes (30 minutes northeast) offer scenic driving. Congaree National Park (45 minutes south) offers fall trails if you want outdoor time beyond the farm.
Listed as a main attraction but not detailed. Likely a farm-designed physical challenge for children ages 6+. Call clintonseasefarm.com or contact the farm to confirm difficulty and age suitability.
