Free entry to the patch with everything priced à la carte, which makes it the lowest-risk pumpkin stop in Virginia Beach, provided you accept that the farm publishes no 2026 dates, hours or prices.
A 2023 Macaroni KID event listing reports free admission to the pumpkin patch with attractions charged separately: corn maze $9, wagon rides $4 (Saturdays and Sundays 11:00am-3:30pm), u-pick sunflowers $2 a bloom, u-pick pumpkins $0.89/lb, pie pumpkins $4, mini pumpkins and gourds $2.75 each, and a free play area behind the market. Those are 2023 figures - no 2026 pricing is published on the farm's own site.
Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.
Cullipher Farm is the opposite of a ticketed fall festival, and that is its main virtue. Nothing we found suggests a gate price. Historically you walk in, and then you pay for whatever you actually do: the maze, the wagon ride, the sunflowers, the pumpkin. For a family with an unpredictable three-year-old, that structure is worth a lot. If the visit lasts twenty minutes because someone melts down, you have lost nothing but the drive.
The farm publishes no 2026 season dates, no opening hours and no prices on its own website. It says picking hours shift with field conditions, which is honest and also means a published calendar would be half fiction anyway. The consequence for you is straightforward: this is not a farm you plan a week out. Check the farm’s Facebook page the morning you intend to go, and call 757-721-7456 if the post is stale.
That uncertainty is worse in late September and early October than later, because that is when Atlantic storm systems reach the Virginia coast and a working farm closes its fields when they are too wet to pick.
The only pricing we could find is a 2023 event listing: corn maze $9, wagon rides $4, u-pick sunflowers $2 a bloom, u-pick pumpkins $0.89 a pound, pie pumpkins $4, mini pumpkins and gourds $2.75. Those are three years old. Use them for shape, not for budgeting.
The shape is useful. On those rates a family of four doing the maze and a wagon ride was at $52 before pumpkins, which is more than a lot of bundled-admission farms charge. A family that skipped the maze, rode the wagon and picked one twelve-pound pumpkin each was at roughly $16 for the rides plus about $43 of pumpkin by weight. The lesson that survives the price rises: the maze is the expensive decision, and pumpkin cost here is a function of how big a pumpkin your children fall in love with. A pound-priced patch punishes the giant one on the far side of the field.
This is the detail worth carrying with you. A 2023 listing put average completion around 90 minutes and advised against it for children under 12. Ninety minutes is a long time to be lost in corn with a tired child, and it will consume most of a short farm visit. If your group skews young, the free play area behind the market is the better use of the afternoon, and it costs nothing.
For a group of teenagers or adults, that difficulty is a feature. There are not many mazes in Hampton Roads that will actually beat you.
Produce, canned goods, baked items, apple cider slushies and ice cream. On a warm early-October afternoon in coastal Virginia, and it can still be genuinely warm, the slushie is a load-bearing part of the visit. Budget a little for the market and treat it as part of the outing rather than a gift shop you pass on the way out.
Wagon rides have run only Saturday and Sunday afternoons, in a window of a few hours. U-pick cutoffs have landed an hour or two before closing. Both of those push against the same thing: arriving late on a weekend afternoon gets you a market visit and not much else. If the wagon ride and the picking both matter, aim for late morning on a weekend day and confirm that day’s window before you leave.
The farm has not published a 2026 fall calendar, and it states that picking hours shift with field conditions. Historically the wagon rides have run Saturdays and Sundays in the early afternoon, roughly 11:00am to 3:30pm, and u-pick cutoffs have come an hour or two before closing. Treat the farm's Facebook page as the live schedule and check it the morning you plan to go, not the week before.
An hour if you are picking a pumpkin and buying from the market. Three hours or more if you attempt the corn maze, which a 2023 listing put at about 90 minutes on average.
Southeastern Virginia Beach, off Princess Anne Road, is far enough out that this is not a metro-scale operation. The pressure points are the weekend wagon-ride window and market checkout on an October Saturday.
Not published. This is a working farm on rural Princess Anne Road, so assume field or gravel parking. Late-September and early-October coastal storms leave that kind of ground soft for days.
Not documented. Pick-your-own rows, a corn maze and wagon rides are all uneven-ground activities and none is described in accessibility terms. Call 757-721-7456 if it matters.
You need certainty. There are no published 2026 dates, hours or prices, so a drive out is a bet on a Facebook post. Skip the corn maze specifically if your group is mostly under 12.
Princess Anne Road runs through the agricultural south end of Virginia Beach, so this pairs naturally with other farm stands and with Back Bay rather than with the oceanfront strip.
Entry to the pumpkin patch has historically been free, with attractions charged individually. That comes from a 2023 event listing rather than 2026 pricing, so treat it as the pattern rather than a guarantee. The farm publishes no current admission policy on its own site.
The only figures we could find are from a 2023 listing: corn maze $9, wagon rides $4, u-pick sunflowers $2 a bloom, u-pick pumpkins $0.89 a pound, pie pumpkins $4, and mini pumpkins and gourds $2.75 each. No 2026 prices are published anywhere we could read. Expect these to have risen.
It has not said. The farm's site describes a seasonal operation running spring through fall with a pumpkin patch and corn maze but posts no dates or hours for 2026, and notes that picking hours depend on field conditions. Its Facebook page is the practical source.
A 2023 listing put average completion at around 90 minutes and advised against it for children under 12. There is a large free play area behind the market that suits younger children better.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission is free. A 2023 Macaroni KID event listing reports free admission to the pumpkin patch with attractions charged separately: corn maze $9, wagon rides $4 (Saturdays and Sundays 11:00am-3:30pm), u-pick sunflowers $2 a bloom, u-pick pumpkins $0.89/lb, pie pumpkins $4, mini pumpkins and gourds $2.75 each, and a free play area behind the market. Those are 2023 figures - no 2026 pricing is published on the farm's own site.
