A smaller farm combining pumpkins, corn maze, and animal experiences with published pricing ($10-$14 per person, kids under 35" free) — but no website, and 2026 hours and dates are not confirmed.
$10-$14 per person; children under 35" free
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.
Country Apple Orchard is a small, multi-activity farm in Harrisburg with transparent pricing ($10-$14 per person, kids under 35” free) and a year-round gift shop — unusual among the seasonal pumpkin-patch venues in this area. The core fall offerings are pumpkins, corn maze, pony rides, and petting zoo.
This farm is one of the few with published pricing, and the structure is straightforward: $10-$14 per person, with free admission for kids under 35” tall. For a family of two adults and two kids, the math is simple — if the kids are under 35”, you are paying about $24 to $28 just for admission. Pony rides will be extra, and the farm may charge for the petting zoo separately, but at least the baseline is known.
That $10-$14 range is moderate for the region — not cheap, but not premium either. The free-admission rule for very small children (under 35”) is generous and makes this a budget option for families with toddlers.
The farm has no website and does not appear on many fall-activity lists. That makes it harder to research ahead. Specifically:
Call (605) 743-2424 before you travel and ask:
Unlike most pumpkin patches, Country Apple Orchard has a year-round gift shop, suggesting this is a genuine farm operation with a broader seasonal focus, not just a fall destination. That may mean better-maintained facilities and a professional operation, but it also means hours and availability could vary outside the core fall season. Confirm ahead.
Harrisburg is a small town in eastern South Dakota, 30 miles west of Sioux Falls. The terrain is flat agricultural plains. The town has limited services, so plan to bring what you need or visit with time to find food or supplies elsewhere.
Two to two-and-a-half hours for a complete outing (maze, petting zoo, pony ride, pumpkin picking). The maze size is not specified, so the actual time depends on how complex it is. Bring closed shoes for the petting zoo and maze, layers for October weather, and hand wipes for the animals.
This is a modest, family-scale venue, not an all-day destination. Pair it with Heartland Country Corn Maze (a short drive away) if you want two fall activities in one afternoon.
Open dates and hours for 2026 are not published. Based on the operation type (orchard with seasonal activities), expect September through October, likely weekends or extended hours. Call (605) 743-2424 before planning travel.

Not specified. Assume field parking.
Not published. Contact the farm about access to the maze, petting zoo, and pony-ride areas.
You cannot confirm operating hours before traveling; the farm has no website and 2026 dates/hours are not in any source. You will need to call (605) 743-2424. Also skip if you need a complex, multi-hour experience — this looks like a modest, family-scale operation, not an all-day destination.
Heartland Country Corn Maze (also in Harrisburg), about a short drive away, offers an 11-acre maze if you want a more serious maze experience. Visit both on the same trip for variety.
$10-$14 per person; children under 35" tall are free with a paying adult. Two adults at the midpoint rate ($12) is $24 before pony rides or any additional upsells.
Not specified. The farm lists pony rides and a petting zoo as attractions, but whether they are included in the $10-$14 admission or are separate charges is not clear. Call (605) 743-2424.
No 2026 schedule is published. The farm's website is not live, and sources do not confirm fall dates. Call (605) 743-2424 or attempt contact via the phone number to confirm 2026 hours and dates before traveling.
