Buy the $15.95 kick-off ticket rather than the $24.95 gate price - it is valid on any date of the season, so paying ahead costs you no flexibility at all and saves a family of four $36.
Fall Kick-Off sale $15.95 (limited quantity), full gate price $24.95. Free for ages 2 and under. Tickets are single-use but valid on any date of the 2026 Fall CountryFest. Groups of 15+ get $2 off per pass; military $2 off with valid ID. A 'Dotty Deal' bundle is $15 (stated $22 value) covering a pie-sized pumpkin, animal feed, gemstone mining, catch-and-release fishing and balloons for crow throw. Food, drink, merchandise, cut flowers, pumpkins, pumpkin painting, animal feed, gemstone mining, paintball and fishing are all extra.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $63.80 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.
There is one clean piece of arithmetic on this page and it is worth doing before anything else. Fall CountryFest admission is $15.95 at the Fall Kick-Off rate and $24.95 at the gate. Tickets are single-use but not tied to a date - they are valid on any day of the 2026 season. That combination is unusual, and it means the discount is free money. You are not committing to a Saturday, gambling on weather, or losing the ticket if a child gets sick. You are simply paying less for exactly the same thing.
Four people at $15.95 is $63.80. Four people at $24.95 is $99.80. The $36 difference is the price of remembering to buy early, and the kick-off tickets are described as limited quantity, so early means early.
Against that, set the farm’s most awkward policy: it does not publish opening or closing times ahead of the day. Its dates page says times are posted at the farm, day of. For a venue 35 miles from San Antonio, that is a genuine planning obstacle - you can hold a valid ticket and still not know whether to leave the city at nine or at noon.
The workaround is to plan around the two things that are fixed. Live music runs 11:30am to 5:30pm on weekends. The Groovy Goat Races run at 12pm, 3pm and 5pm. Those five data points define a day that is clearly built to run from late morning to early evening, and if you arrive around 11:30 and leave after the 5pm race you have almost certainly used the whole of it.
There is a heat argument for shifting later. Medina County in late September and early October is hot in the middle of the day, and the record says nothing about shade. The noon goat race is the one to sacrifice if you have to choose.
Admission is a gate fee, not a day rate, and the exclusions list is long: food, drink, merchandise, cut flowers, pumpkins, pumpkin painting, animal feed, gemstone mining, paintball and catch-and-release fishing. Everything an eight-year-old will point at within twenty minutes of arrival is on that list.
The farm’s own answer is the Dotty Deal, a $15 bundle it values at $22, covering a pie-sized pumpkin, animal feed, gemstone mining, fishing and balloons for the crow throw. Judge it honestly: if your child would have done three of those five, the bundle wins. If you came for the jumping pillow and the slide - both included in admission - and you can hold the line on the rest, skip it.
Run the realistic version. Two adults and two children at the kick-off rate is $63.80. Two Dotty Deals is $30. A carving pumpkin, lunch for four and a couple of drinks from the beer and wine garden pushes the day comfortably past $150. That is the honest number for a full Saturday here, and it is not out of line for a 50-plus-attraction farm - but it is six times the headline price, which is exactly the Texas pattern worth naming out loud.
First, the flower field is explicitly weather and crop reliant, in the farm’s own words. Central and South Texas flower fields have hard years. Do not make it the reason for the drive.
Second, the site references a pumpkin patch and pumpkin displays but never says the pumpkins are grown at Devine. Across most of Texas outside the High Plains, patch pumpkins are trucked in and arranged, and nothing here contradicts that. Come for the festival, the goat races and the slide. If a genuine growing field is what you want, that is a different trip, and it is a long way north.
Fall CountryFest runs weekends only from September 26 to November 1, 2026, plus Columbus Day. The farm deliberately does not publish opening hours in advance - it says times are posted at the farm on the day - so the only fixed anchors are the Groovy Goat Races at 12pm, 3pm and 5pm and live music from 11:30am to 5:30pm. Build your day around those. Late September in Medina County is still hot enough that the noon goat race is the worst-timed of the three; if the farm is open early, use the morning and come back for the 3pm.
Four to five hours to get value out of a $15.95 to $24.95 ticket. The music window alone runs six hours, and with a jumping pillow, a mega slide, hayrides, the flower field and three separately timed goat races, a short visit leaves most of the admission unused.
A very short season: weekends only from September 26 to November 1, plus Columbus Day. That is around six operating weekends, and the concentration is the crowd story. Because tickets are single-use but valid on any date, some visitors will shift toward whichever weekend has the better forecast, which loads the good-weather Saturdays further.
Not published. The farm sits on FM 2200 west of Devine in Medina County, and rural South Texas farm lots are typically field or caliche - expect soft ground for a day or two after rain.
Not addressed on the farm's site. With a mega slide, a jumping pillow, a flower field and hayrides as core attractions, expect uneven ground; call 830-665-9730 if that matters to your party.
You want a set-your-watch schedule. The farm does not publish opening or closing times in advance at all, which makes it hard to plan a day around anything else. Skip it too if your realistic visit is two hours - at these prices the maths only works on a long day - and note that the flower field is explicitly weather and crop reliant, so do not drive out for the flowers alone.
Devine is roughly 35 miles southwest of San Antonio in Medina County, which puts it in the same corner of the map as South Texas Maize at Hondo, about 40 miles west of the city on US 90. They are different propositions - Devine Acres is a festival with 50-plus attractions, Hondo is built around an 8-acre corn maze - so pick one per weekend rather than trying to stack them.
The Fall Kick-Off price is $15.95 in limited quantity; the full gate price is $24.95. Children 2 and under are free. Groups of 15 or more and military ID holders get $2 off per pass. A family of four pays $63.80 at the kick-off rate or $99.80 at the gate.
No. Tickets are single-use but valid on any date of the 2026 Fall CountryFest, which is why buying at the discounted kick-off price is a straightforward win - there is no flexibility being traded away.
