General admission price not published on the site as of Aug 2026. A 2026 season pass is listed at $60 per person per year. Nov 11 is free admission for veterans. Admission covers all activities except corn cannon, round-pen horseback rides, pumpkins, food, general store and animal feed.

Our take

Conner’s has done something most Florida farms have not: published a complete 2026 calendar, hour by hour, well before the season. That deserves credit, and it also makes the shape of the season unusually easy to read — which is useful, because the shape is odd.

There are no Sundays. The season is Fridays and Saturdays through October, plus a single 5-9pm Saturday on November 7 and a four-hour Wednesday on November 11. Fridays are evening only, 5pm to 9pm. Saturdays are the full day, 9am to 9pm, and are the only dates on the calendar where you can walk a nine-acre maze in daylight with time to spare afterwards.

That leaves most families with a straightforward answer: an October Saturday morning, arriving at nine.

What your ticket buys, and what it does not

The farm is refreshingly specific about the boundary. Admission covers everything on the property except six things: the corn cannon, round-pen horseback rides, pumpkins, food, the general store and animal feed. Everything else — the maze, the sunflower field, the Highland cattle, the cow train, Toto’s Courtyard, corn hole, the corn pool, the hay jump — is included.

Those six exceptions are, predictably, the six things children ask for. A corn cannon and a horseback ride are both the sort of purchase that happens in front of a queue rather than after a conversation, and animal feed sells by the cup. Settle what is happening before you walk through the gate.

What the farm does not publish is the number that would let you plan any of this: general admission. We looked, and left the field blank rather than guess. The only price on the site is a season pass at sixty dollars per person per year, which is a useful figure in itself — it tells you the farm expects repeat visitors — but without a single-visit price you cannot work out whether a pass pays for itself in two visits or five. That is a phone call before you go, not after.

The dates worth circling

October 3 is opening day and runs the full 9am-9pm. Opening Saturdays draw the season’s biggest crowds at nearly every farm, so if you dislike queues, take the second or third Saturday instead.

October 30 and 31 carry a haunted trail, reservations only. Reservation-gating is the right way to run frights alongside a family farm, and it means a nervous six-year-old is unlikely to walk into one by accident, but those are still the two dates to ask about.

November 11 is a Wednesday, open 10am to 2pm, free for veterans. Four hours is a tight window for a farm this size, so treat it as a visit with a plan rather than a wander.

The Florida caveats

A nine-acre maze in early October in Nassau County is a hot walk. The sunflower field is a crop, and crops do not read calendars, so if flowers are the reason you are going, ask how the field is doing that week rather than assuming. And the pumpkins, here as at every Florida patch, were trucked in — the state’s climate rules out a commercial fall crop, so the field of pumpkins is a display rather than a harvest. It is a good display. It is just not a vine.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

October Saturdays are the only full days of the season, running 9am to 9pm, and the 9am end of that is where the good weather is. October Fridays are evening-only from 5-9pm, which is the coolest and calmest way to do it if your children keep late hours. The opening Saturday, October 3, runs the full 9am-9pm and is the busiest kind of date at any farm.

How long to budget

Three to four hours. With a nine-acre maze, a sunflower field, a cow train, a play courtyard, a hay jump and animals to feed, families who allow ninety minutes will spend most of it walking past things they paid for.

Crowds

Opening Saturday, October 3, and the Halloween Saturday, October 31, are the two dates the whole season funnels into. The 5-9pm Fridays are the light option. November 11 is a four-hour Wednesday window and a free-admission day for veterans, so expect it to feel busy despite the odd timing.

Parking

Not published. Farms of this size in Nassau County park visitors on grass, so plan for an unpaved field and for it to be soft if the week has been wet.

What to bring

  • A card, and cash as a fallback for the general store and food
  • Money set aside for the corn cannon, horseback rides, animal feed and pumpkins — all four are outside admission
  • Closed-toe shoes for the maze, the hay jump and the corn pool
  • Sun protection for daytime Saturdays and a light layer for the 5-9pm Fridays, which run well past dark
  • Bug spray for anything after sunset

How to spend less here

  • Admission covers everything except the corn cannon, round-pen horseback rides, pumpkins, food, the general store and animal feed. Those six are the entire upsell list, and they are what turn a modest gate price into a large day
  • The 2026 season pass is listed at sixty dollars per person per year. Without a published single-visit price you cannot work out where it breaks even, so ask what general admission costs before you buy one
  • Veterans get in free on November 11, and that date is a short 10am-2pm window rather than a full day

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families with kids roughly three to eleven — the cow train, hay jump, corn pool and Toto's Courtyard are all pitched at that band
  • Nassau County and south Georgia families; Hilliard is closer to the state line than to Jacksonville proper
  • Serious maze walkers, since nine acres is a real maze rather than a token one
  • Veterans, who get in free on Wednesday, November 11
  • Schools and groups, which the farm takes on weekdays by reservation

Skip it if

You wanted a Sunday outing. The published 2026 schedule has no Sunday dates at all — it is Fridays and Saturdays in October, one Saturday evening on November 7, and a four-hour Wednesday on November 11. Also skip if you need a firm cost in advance; general admission is not published.

Common questions

How much is admission to Conner's A-Maize-Ing Acres?

The farm did not publish a general admission price on its site as of late August 2026. A 2026 season pass is listed at sixty dollars per person per year, and November 11 is free for veterans. For a single visit you will need to call.
