Forty-plus attractions and free parking west of Houston, with three haunts and a jack-o-lantern trail thrown in with a regular fall ticket on BOOriffic Nights - but the farm publishes no flat gate price and runs a long list of paid add-ons, so the number you see is never the number you pay.
Gate prices are not printed on the farm's own site; tickets are sold through tickets.dewberryfarm.com, where a fall flash sale advertised 45% off and 2026 season passes ranged $89.95-$149.95. Everyone 3 and older needs a ticket, 2 and under free. Parking is free. Add-ons: Apple Blaster cannons $6-$30, gemstone mining $6-$25, paintball $6-$20, pony rides $10, pumpkin painting $6, Haunted Barn $6, Trail of Terror $8, face painting $12+ (card only); a five-punch Attraction Passport is $25.
Dewberry Farm is one of the largest fall operations in the Houston area and one of the harder ones to budget for, and those two facts are related. More than forty attractions, an eight-acre corn maze, a carousel, a ferris wheel, a barn swing, a train, carnival games - it is a substantial day out. It is also structured so that the price of that day is genuinely difficult to establish in advance.
The farm’s own website does not print a flat gate admission. What it offers instead is a link to its ticketing site, where a flash sale advertised 45 percent off, and 2026 season passes priced between $89.95 and $149.95. Everyone 3 and older needs a ticket; 2 and under are free.
That is not enough to plan on, and Brookshire is far enough west of Houston that families should not be discovering the number in the car park. The fix is five minutes: open the ticketing page, select your date, read the figure. Do it before anyone gets in the car.
Free parking is the one cost you can definitively cross off, and at a venue of this scale that is worth something real.
This is a per-activity farm, which the Texas market does more than most, and Dewberry does it thoroughly. Apple Blaster cannons run $6 to $30. Gemstone mining is $6 to $25. Paintball is $6 to $20. Pony rides are $10. Pumpkin painting is $6. The Haunted Barn is $6 and the Trail of Terror is $8. Face painting starts at $12 and is card-only, as are plush toys.
The farm’s answer to all that is a five-punch Attraction Passport at $25. Do the arithmetic honestly: five punches at $25 is $5 a punch, which beats every individual price on the list except the cheapest tier of a few. If a child will do five things, the passport is the correct purchase. If a child will do two, it is not.
Then scale it. Four passports for a family of four is $100, sitting entirely on top of whatever admission cost. That is the realistic shape of a full Dewberry day, and it is why the headline ticket price - whatever you find it to be - understates the outing badly. Decide the add-on budget in advance and tell the children the number, because the alternative is negotiating it at every booth.
BOOriffic Nights run September 26 through November 1: glowing jack-o-lanterns and three haunted attractions, included with a regular fall admission rather than charged separately. That is the single best thing on this page. For the same ticket, an evening visit in that window delivers content a daytime visit does not.
It also solves the Houston problem. September and early October in Waller County are hot and humid, and an open farm at two in the afternoon is a test of everyone’s patience. Arriving late afternoon and running into the evening gets the attractions in falling temperature and the haunts in the dark, which is when they work.
The trade is crowding - an evening programme keeps the day’s visitors on site rather than sending them home - and the fact that the farm publishes no daily hours grid, so you will need to check your specific date rather than assuming a pattern.
No outside food or drink comes through the gate, but the farm has put a covered picnic area just outside the entrance. That is a fair compromise and a usable one: eat your own lunch before you go in and you have removed the largest variable cost of the day.
Pets are banned outright, and the reason given - roaming barnyard animals - is the standard and legitimate one. Do not plan around an exception.
The unknown is the pumpkins. The farm’s FAQ says they are for sale and priced by size, but nowhere states whether they are grown at Brookshire. Houston humidity makes local pumpkin growing difficult, and most patches in this market truck their pumpkins in; we are treating this one as unverified rather than claiming either way.
The Fall Festival runs September 12 through November 8, 2026. The window that matters is BOOriffic Nights, September 26 to November 1, when the evening programme - glowing jack-o-lanterns and three haunted attractions - is included with a regular fall admission rather than sold separately. That makes an evening visit in that window better value than the same ticket used in daylight, and in September and early October it also removes the Waller County heat and humidity from the equation entirely. The farm does not publish a daily hours grid, so check your intended date on its Hours and Location page before setting out.
Five hours, and more if you are staying for the haunts. With more than forty attractions and an eight-acre corn maze, a two-hour visit uses a small fraction of a ticket that is not cheap. If you arrive mid-afternoon and stay through the evening programme, that is the shape of the day this farm is designed around.
An eight-week season on Houston's western edge with a big-attraction reputation. October Saturdays are the peak, and BOOriffic Nights keep the afternoon crowd on site into the evening rather than turning it over. September dates, before the evening programme starts on the 26th, are the quietest of the season.
Free, which the farm states plainly, and at a venue this size that is a genuine saving rather than a courtesy. The surface is not described; assume field or gravel and expect it to soften after a Gulf storm, which in this part of Texas is a live possibility right through October.
Not addressed in the published material. Forty-plus attractions across farm ground almost certainly means a mix of accessible paths and things that are not - ride boarding, the corn maze, the haunts. Call 281-934-3276 in advance if anyone in your group needs specifics.
You need to know what the day costs before you leave. There is no flat gate price on the farm's own site - only a flash sale and season passes ranging $89.95 to $149.95 - and the add-on list runs long enough to double a family's spend. Skip it too if you are bringing a dog, which is banned outright because of the roaming barnyard animals, or if a toddler is the only child coming.
Brookshire sits on the I-10 corridor west of Houston, which makes this an easy add to a day already heading toward Katy or the Brazos bottomlands rather than a trip that needs its own justification.
The farm does not print a flat gate price on its own website. Tickets are sold through tickets.dewberryfarm.com, where a fall flash sale advertised 45 percent off and 2026 season passes ranged from $89.95 to $149.95. Open the ticketing page and price your date before you drive out to Brookshire.
A lot. Apple Blaster cannons $6 to $30, gemstone mining $6 to $25, paintball $6 to $20, pony rides $10, pumpkin painting $6, the Haunted Barn $6, the Trail of Terror $8 and face painting from $12. A five-punch Attraction Passport is $25 and is the cheaper route if you expect to use several.
The Haunted Barn is listed at $6 and the Trail of Terror at $8 as individual add-ons. Separately, BOOriffic Nights - the evening programme of glowing jack-o-lanterns plus three haunts - runs September 26 to November 1 and is included with a regular fall admission. Confirm at the gate which applies to your ticket and your date.
Neither comes through the gate. Outside food and drink are not permitted inside, though there is a covered picnic area just outside the entrance. Pets are banned outright because barnyard animals roam the grounds.
