A $15-a-head Volusia County farm festival where admission genuinely covers most of what is on site — good value for a half-day with kids under about ten, and a ten-day season that gives you almost no flexibility on when to go.
$15 general admission; $13 seniors and military with ID; children 2 and under free. Does not include sales tax, pony rides ($5), u-pick sunflowers ($2/stem), face painting, pumpkin painting classes or vendor fees.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 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 defining fact about County Line Family Farms is not its price or its 8.2-acre corn maze. It is the calendar. The 2026 fall season runs September 26 to October 25, Saturdays and Sundays only, with Fridays held back for school groups. That is ten days. If two of those weekends get rained out and one is already spoken for by a birthday party, your realistic window is a handful of dates — so this is a farm to put on the calendar in September rather than to keep in your back pocket for “some Saturday in October.”
More than at most Florida farms, and that is the main argument for going. The published admission covers the corn maze, the hayride, train rides, the petting zoo, the pumpkin patch itself, jumbo jumpers, a corn pit, a giant sandbox, a gaga pit and lawn games, with live music and food trucks on site. Compared to the $20-to-$25 ticketed festivals further inland, where the entry price buys a similar list, $15 is a fair number.
The extras are modest and clearly posted: pony rides at $5, u-pick sunflowers at $2 a stem, face painting, pumpkin-painting classes, plus whatever the independent vendors and the flower truck charge. None of it is a trap. But $2 a stem is the kind of price that sounds trivial and ends up as a $20 bouquet, and sales tax sits on top of the $15 rather than inside it.
A September 26 opening in Volusia County means the first weekend of the season is being run in what is functionally still summer. Central Florida holds daytime highs in the upper eighties and low nineties well into October, and afternoon thunderstorms are routine through the whole run. The farm has not published anything about shade, and a site built around a corn maze, a sandbox and open lawn games is not one that offers much of it by design.
The practical version of that: arrive at 10am, do the maze and the hayride before noon, and treat the shaded food-truck-and-music portion of the day as the back half. If the forecast has storms — and in early October it usually does — the morning is the half of the day you can rely on.
This is a young-family farm. The corn pit, sandbox, jumpers and train are built for kids who are still delighted by a corn pit, which is a shorter age window than parents like to admit. Bring an eight-year-old and you will get four good hours. Bring a fourteen-year-old and the 8.2-acre maze is the only thing on the list aimed at them — and you cannot send them off to do it alone, since the farm requires under-16s to be accompanied.
One last expectation to set, and it applies statewide rather than to this farm specifically: the pumpkins did not grow here. Florida cannot produce a commercial fall pumpkin crop, so patches across the state buy in and arrange. What you are paying for is a well-stocked farm festival on a working property, not a New England field with vines — and on those terms, at $15, County Line holds up.
Gates are 10am to 6pm, but the farm stops selling tickets at 5pm — a late-afternoon arrival is not the quiet, cheap option it looks like on paper. Go at the 10am opening. The season opens September 26, which in Volusia County is still summer in everything but the calendar; the last two weekends in October are the more comfortable ones for anyone heat-sensitive. There is no weekday public option at all, because Fridays are held for school field trips.
Three to four hours. With a corn maze, hayride, train, petting zoo, jumbo jumpers, corn pit, sandbox, gaga pit and lawn games, there is enough to fill a morning, but it is a smaller operation than the big ticketed festivals and you will not need six hours to feel you got your money's worth.
Ten public days in the entire year — five Saturdays and five Sundays between September 26 and October 25. That is an unusually compressed season even by Florida standards, and it concentrates demand hard. We have no first-hand crowd counts for this farm, so treat that as a structural warning rather than a measurement: when a farm is only open twenty weekend-days a season, the middle of Saturday is where everyone ends up.
The farm has not published parking details. Most Central Florida farm lots of this size are unpaved grass or dirt fields, which matters in a season that runs through October — afternoon storms are routine, and a wet field means mud between the car and the gate. Plan on shoes you do not mind, not sandals.
Not documented by the farm. The hayride and train both involve stepping up into a vehicle, and the corn maze, corn pit and sandbox are unpaved by definition. If someone in your group needs step-free access or an accessible restroom, call ahead on 386-366-1800 rather than assuming.
You are hoping to drop off teenagers — the farm requires anyone under 16 to be accompanied by an adult. Also skip if you want a quick pumpkin-and-photo stop: $15 a head with no lower walk-in tier means a family of four pays $60 plus tax before buying anything, and the value is entirely in staying to use the attractions.
Harvest Fields Corn Maze in DeLand is the other Volusia County option and sits on the opposite side of the county, roughly a half-hour-plus drive inland. The two overlap in October and cost the same $15, so they read as alternatives rather than a same-day double. If you are coming from the coast, Ormond Beach itself is the obvious lunch stop on the way home.
Sixty dollars plus sales tax at the gate, assuming two adults and two children over two. Admission covers the corn maze, hayride, train, petting zoo and all the play areas. Pony rides ($5), u-pick sunflowers ($2 per stem), face painting and pumpkin-painting classes are separate.
No. The 2026 fall season is Saturdays and Sundays only, September 26 through October 25. Fridays are reserved for school field trips and are not open to the general public.
Almost certainly not. Florida's climate does not support a commercial fall pumpkin crop, so pumpkins at essentially every Florida patch — including this one — are trucked in and arranged. The farm does grow its own sunflowers for u-pick, which is the genuinely local part of the visit.
September 26 – October 25, 2026. Weekends (Sat-Sun); Fridays reserved for school field trips. Hours: 10am-6pm (last tickets sold one hour before closing).
Admission starts at $15 per person. $15 general admission; $13 seniors and military with ID; children 2 and under free. Does not include sales tax, pony rides ($5), u-pick sunflowers ($2/stem), face painting, pumpkin painting classes or vendor fees.
77 Circle S Rd, Ormond Beach, FL 32174, in Volusia County. It is one of 14 patches we track in Central Florida.
We track 14 patches in Central Florida, 2 of which are free to walk into. At $15 a head this one sits right on the regional median of $15, undercutting 4 of the 9 paid patches we track here.
Its season runs about 30 days against a regional average of 41, so it is a shorter window than most of its neighbours — miss it and the nearest alternatives will still be open.
What sets it apart locally: it has rides and play structures, u-pick fields, which most Central Florida patches on our list do not.
