A Wichita-area produce farm offering a $10 haunted corn maze on select October weekends, scaled for families with children 8+ comfortable with mild scares, and worth planning around specific operating dates.
Haunted Corn Maze admission $10 per person (Oct 18-19, 25-26 select dates). Other activities pricing varies. Pumpkins individually priced.
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.
Cox Farm in Wichita is defined by its haunted maze attraction, which sets it apart from standard u-pick operations. The $10 admission is the entry point to a farm designed for evening visits and mild to moderate scares.
A maze is not unique to pumpkin patches, but a haunted maze is. If your family enjoys a fall scare that is not TOO intense, this distinguishes Cox Farm from farms focused purely on pumpkin selection and straightforward activities. The maze timing is evening-specific, meaning you visit after daylight, which changes the whole rhythm of the experience compared to a mid-afternoon farm outing.
Haunted attractions range from mild (people in costumes, atmospheric music, dim lighting) to intense (immersive scares, loud sounds, elaborate effects). This farm appears positioned for family-friendly haunted fun rather than an extreme haunted house, but any scare element requires honest assessment of what your children can handle. A child who startles easily or has anxiety around spooky themes will not enjoy it, even if the actual scares are mild.
Beyond the maze, the farm operates as a pumpkin patch. The mechanics of u-pick or pre-picked pumpkins, prices per pumpkin, and pumpkin variety should be confirmed before visiting. The maze is the headline, but if pumpkins are your actual goal, clarify whether the farm’s pumpkin selection and pricing match your expectations.
October evenings in Wichita cool down quickly, and active play in a maze — even a slow haunted one — means you will warm up and then cool down. Dress in layers you can adjust. The farm likely provides some maze lighting, but bring a flashlight if you are uncomfortable navigating semi-dark paths.
September 24 through October 30, 2026, Saturday 11am–7pm and Sunday 2pm–6pm (note: daylight visiting for non-haunted activities; haunted maze is October 18–19 and 25–26 only, selected dates only, evening operation). Arrive by midday Saturday or early Sunday to maximize daylight before the evening maze mood kicks in.
Two to three hours for pumpkin picking and standard activities; add 30 minutes to 1 hour if experiencing the haunted maze (slower navigation by design).
Weekend-only operation concentrates traffic on Saturdays 11am–7pm and Sundays 2pm–6pm. Haunted maze dates (Oct 18–19 and 25–26) draw larger evening crowds; daytime Saturday visits are likely quieter than haunted-maze evenings.
Field or unpaved lot typical of a working farm. October weather in Wichita is generally dry, but wear appropriate shoes for soft ground after rain.
