Family-friendly fall festival with a corn maze, outdoor activities, and pumpkins—priced low and weekend-only, but 2026 dates and pricing are not yet confirmed; call (401) 827-5000 before planning.
$10 for festival admission. Maze access: $5 (online). Free for ages 2 and younger. Pumpkins available for purchase.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 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.
The most recent confirmed information comes from a September 2025 article. Hours (Saturday-Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., plus Columbus Day), dates (Sept 13–Oct 26, 2025), admission ($10), and maze pricing ($5 online) are from that source, not a direct 2026 confirmation.
Before September 2026, call (401) 827-5000 to confirm opening date, admission cost, maze pricing, and whether the military discount still applies.
The MAiZE is the family-friendly, daytime version of Confreda’s fall offerings. It’s a festival setting with food vendors, a corn maze, pumpkins for sale, and general fall activities—not a spooky haunted experience (that’s Scary Acres, the evening version at the same facility).
The low admission cost ($10) plus modest maze pricing ($5 online) makes it one of the cheaper full-afternoon options in Rhode Island. The 2026 theme honors the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, adding a patriotic element to the maze design and festival aesthetic.
Festival admission: $10 per person. Maze entry: $5 per person if booked online (gate pricing not specified, so online is the play). Total per person: $15 for admission plus maze.
For a family of four:
Add pumpkins (pricing not specified) and food vendor purchases on top of that, and your actual total climbs from there — those two categories are both open questions rather than published numbers, so treat the $60 as your floor, not your total.
Military families get a discount per research notes; confirm the percentage and process when you call to verify 2026 operations.
The September 13–October 26 window (2025) is typical for early-season through mid-season festivals. September opening means early planners can visit before peak leaf-peeping traffic; October is busier. If you have midweek flexibility, calling to ask about possible weekday hours in September could help—most farms run weekend-only, but some add light weekday hours early in the season.
Columbus Day (Oct 12) is explicitly open, offering a Monday option if that fits your schedule.
Families with mixed-age kids, budget-conscious visitors, and groups wanting a casual afternoon with food vendors and a maze. If you’re looking for serious maze navigation (like Salisbury Farm’s five-acre challenge), this festival setting is lighter. If you want mostly pumpkin shopping with a fun maze, this fits.
The MAiZE operates at the same address as Scary Acres (2150 Scituate Avenue, Hope, West Cranston), so if your group has both daytime and evening preferences, you can plan a combined trip—families visit The MAiZE on Saturday afternoon, adults return for Scary Acres Saturday night.
Hope is in the Providence region; there are no co-located paired activities (like a beach town if this were a Newport venue).
2026 opening date, closing date, admission cost, maze pricing, military discount details, and food-vendor presence are all estimated from 2025 data. Call (401) 827-5000 before mid-September 2026 to lock in current details.
October weekends are the sweet spot for fall atmosphere and pumpkin availability. Contact the farm to confirm 2026 opening date (2025 article shows Sept 13–Oct 26 window).
2-3 hours for a full festival experience (maze, browsing vendors, picking pumpkins).
Weekend-only operation means all traffic concentrates on Saturdays and Sundays. October weekends run busier than early-season dates. Columbus Day (Oct 12) offers a Monday alternative.
No details in record. Typical farm lot; arrive mid-morning on weekends to avoid late-arrival parking issues.
Not specified in available records. Call (401) 827-5000 to confirm accessibility accommodations.
You need to confirm 2026 dates and pricing before committing (see note below); or you want an evening or weekday option (this is weekend-only Saturday-Sunday plus Columbus Day).
Hope is in the Providence region. Pair with Scary Acres (evening haunted attraction, same facility) if you're visiting with a group that splits by age/interest—families do The MAiZE on Saturday afternoon, adults return for Scary Acres on Saturday night.
Festival admission is $10 per person. Maze entry is $5 per person if booked online (likely higher at gate). Together, $15 for admission plus maze is the typical cost per person.

Access to the festival grounds, vendors, and activities. Maze entry is a separate $5 online purchase. Pumpkins are sold separately.
Food vendors are mentioned in research notes. Bring cash or card for vendor purchases.
