What you get for the price

Included with admission

Pumpkin patchHay ridesPetting zooBull rideMini golfGem miningPedal cartsCorn beachYard gamesCraft vendors (weekends)Fearville haunt (18+)

Weekday pass $10.95/guest; weekend pass $22/guest; Fearville (18+) $27/guest; yearly passes from $96 for two. Children 30 inches and under free. Prices exclude tax and fees.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $43.80 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.

Our take

Most Florida patches ask you to choose between a free-entry lot with nothing to do and a ticketed festival that costs a family of four the better part of $100. DK Farms sits in an unusual spot because it effectively offers both, depending on which day you turn up. The activity list is the same either way — hay rides, petting zoo, bull ride, mini golf, gem mining, pedal carts, a corn beach, yard games — but the price attached to it swings from $10.95 to $22 a head across the week.

The weekday case

At $10.95, this is close to the cheapest ticketed farm day on our Tampa Bay list, and the weekday hours run to 7pm, so an after-school visit is genuinely on the table for local families. That is a meaningfully different product from a Saturday visit, and the farm is not hiding it — the price difference is right there on the page. If your schedule has any flexibility at all, the weekday ticket is the one to buy, and the saving on a family of four covers dinner afterwards.

The weekend case

$22 a head is not unreasonable for what’s on offer, but it changes the calculation. At that price you need to stay three or four hours and use the mini golf, the carts and the animals rather than treating it as a photo stop. Craft vendors are added on weekends, which is a genuine reason to prefer Saturday if browsing stalls is part of what you want from the day. For everyone else, the weekend premium buys crowds.

Two things to check before you pay

First, the free-entry threshold is height, not age: children 30 inches and under. A tall two-year-old is a paying guest, and that is an easy way to be surprised at the gate. Second, the published prices exclude tax and fees, so the real cost of four weekend tickets lands above $88, not at it.

Set expectations on the pumpkins

As with every patch in Florida, the pumpkins here were grown somewhere else and trucked in — the state’s climate does not support a commercial fall crop. Nobody is pretending otherwise, but if your mental picture involves vines and a wagon in a field, adjust it. What you are buying is a well-equipped play farm with pumpkins arranged in it.

One scheduling note

The property runs a separate 18+ haunt, Fearville, in the evenings from 7:30pm. It is priced independently at $27 and is not something you drift into with children in tow, but it does mean the site’s character changes after dark. Families should plan to have finished well before the changeover; adults looking for a haunt have the option of coming back without paying twice for the same daytime festival.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

A weekday, and it is not close. Weekday admission is $10.95 against $22 on Saturday and Sunday — a family of four saves roughly $44 by going Tuesday instead of Saturday, for a farm that is open until 7pm on weekdays anyway. If you must go on a weekend, take Sunday's earlier close as a hint that Saturday is the heavier day, and arrive at the 10am opening rather than after lunch.

How long to budget

Three to four hours to get your money's worth on a weekend ticket. On a weekday ticket, two hours still feels like fair value, which is part of why the weekday pricing is the smarter buy for families with short attention spans.

Crowds

The weekend price premium is itself the crowding signal — the farm is charging double because Saturday and Sunday are when everyone comes. Weekdays with a 10am-7pm window give you the same farm with a fraction of the queueing.

Parking

Not documented by the farm. This is a suburban Largo site rather than open pasture, but assume grass overflow parking on busy weekends and assume it turns soft after Gulf-coast afternoon rain — that is a general inference about Florida farm lots, not something the farm has published.

Strollers and accessibility

No accessibility information was published. Farm activity areas are typically grass and dirt, which is hard going for small stroller wheels; if anyone in your group needs firm surfaces or an accessible restroom, call ahead rather than assume.

What to bring

  • A card, plus awareness that the published prices exclude tax and fees — the number you pay is above the number on the website
  • A tape measure moment before you leave home: children 30 inches and under get in free, and that is measured in height, not age
  • Sun protection and water for a farm with limited natural shade
  • Closed-toe shoes for the pedal carts, corn beach and yard games

How to spend less here

  • Go on a weekday. At $10.95 versus $22 it is the single biggest lever available, worth about $44 to a family of four
  • Do the season-pass math: at $96 for two, a pass pays for itself in a little over two weekend visits, or roughly four weekday visits — only worth it if you genuinely intend to return
  • Check your smallest child against the 30-inch line before you buy; if they clear it, they are a full-price head
  • Budget for gem mining separately. The farm does not spell out which activities the gate fee covers, and at most Florida farms gem mining is a separate purchase that quietly adds $10-$20 a child

Who it suits

Good for

  • Pinellas families who want a farm day without the drive to Pasco or Hillsborough — this is a suburban location, not a rural one
  • Kids roughly 3 to 11, the band that gets the most out of mini golf, pedal carts, the bull ride and the corn beach
  • Repeat visitors, since the farm sells yearly passes from $96 for two and is open daily in October
  • Mixed groups splitting the day — adults can come back for the 18+ Fearville haunt after the family session ends

Skip it if

You only want a pumpkin. The gate fee buys a festival, and $22 a head on a weekend is a lot of money to pay for the privilege of then buying a pumpkin. Free-entry patches elsewhere in Pinellas will serve you better.

Common questions

How much does DK Farms & Gardens cost?

Weekday passes are $10.95 per guest and weekend passes are $22 per guest, both before tax and fees. Children 30 inches and under are free. The 18+ Fearville haunt is $27 per guest and is priced separately.

Why do other websites list a cheaper weekend price?

At least one regional parenting site lists $16 for a weekend pass where the farm's own page says $22. We use the farm's figure, because the farm is the one taking your payment. Treat third-party price listings as out of date until the farm confirms.

Is Fearville suitable for kids?

No — it is an 18+ attraction running from 7:30pm, well after the family sessions. If you are bringing children, plan to be gone before the evening changeover.
