A 45-attraction fall festival on a Christmas tree farm where Saturday is the only morning you can have, and the one price the farm publishes is a flash-sale rate that goes live on September 7.
The farm's 2026 homepage advertises flash-sale tickets at $13.95 with the sale opening September 7 at 8am; the regular gate price is not published on the site. Admission covers 45-plus attractions; fire-pit rentals and food are extra.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $55.80 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.
Dull’s is a Christmas tree farm that runs a large autumn festival on the same ground, and the calendar it publishes is the most important thing on the page. This is a select-dates operation, not a daily one.
Weekends from September 26. Columbus Day, Monday October 12. Thursdays and Fridays added from October 15. Nothing else. A family that drives out on the first Friday in October, reasonably assuming a farm this size opens on a fall Friday, finds a closed gate.
The hours compound it. Saturday runs 10am to 7pm - nine hours, and the only morning on the schedule. Every other operating day starts at 1pm. That reshapes the trip: there is no such thing as a Sunday morning here, and the Thursday and Friday dates are effectively evening visits rather than afternoons out.
The only figure the farm publishes is the flash-sale rate of $13.95, with the sale opening at 8am on September 7. Four of those is $55.80. That is a reasonable price for a farm advertising 45-plus attractions inside the ticket - the giant corn maze, wagon rides, giant slides, the pumpkin cannon, face painting and the animal experiences all sit on the admission side of the line.
What we cannot tell you is what walking up on an October Saturday costs, because the regular gate price is not on the site. When a farm advertises a flash sale prominently and the standard rate not at all, the standard rate is generally the higher number. Treat $13.95 as a floor rather than a quote, and treat September 7 as a real date worth putting in a calendar if you already know you are going.
Two things sit outside admission regardless: food, and fire-pit rentals. The fire pits are the more interesting one, because they change what kind of visit this is.
Most central Indiana farms close at dusk and are essentially daytime places. A 7pm close plus bookable fire pits makes Dull’s one of the few built around the evening. By mid-October, when the Thursday and Friday dates open up, central Indiana loses daylight before seven - so a 1pm arrival gives you four hours of light and two hours of dark, with a fire to sit at for the second half.
Plan for that honestly. Late-October evenings in Boone County get cold quickly once the sun is down, and the difference between a good night and a miserable one is layers rather than a single coat. Corn stubble and a pumpkin field after dark also argue for proper shoes and a light source, particularly if small children are wandering ahead of you in the maze.
Because this is Dull’s primary business, an October trip can also be a Christmas errand. Tree tagging appears on the activity list, which means the fall festival and the tree season overlap on the same site. The record does not tell us when tagging opens, what it costs or whether it needs a separate booking, so confirm with the farm before building a plan around it - but for a household that was going to do both anyway, one drive instead of two is a real saving.
Parking surface, restrooms, stroller access and shade are all absent from the record, and we have not visited. Nor is there a published regular admission price or any indication of whether tickets sell out on peak Saturdays. Given that the farm pushes an advance flash sale, buying online well before your date is the sensible default here rather than an optimisation.
Saturday, if you want daylight. It is the only day of the week that opens in the morning at 10am; Sunday, the Columbus Day Monday on October 12 and the Thursday and Friday dates added from October 15 all start at 1pm and run to 7pm. For an evening visit with a booked fire pit, a mid-October Thursday or Friday is the calmer choice. The season runs September 26 through November 1 on select dates only.
Three to four hours. The farm advertises 45-plus attractions inside the ticket, and a 1pm-to-7pm day is only six hours long to begin with - a short visit here is poor value at any admission price.
Saturday carries the load. It is the longest day, the only morning opening and the only weekend day that does not start at 1pm, which pushes the whole family market into it. The Thursday and Friday dates from October 15 exist precisely because late October demand outgrows the weekend, and they are the better bet for elbow room.
Not published in the record. This is a working tree farm on a Boone County road, so field or gravel parking is the reasonable expectation, and central Indiana Octobers are wet enough that soft ground is likely after rain.
You need a weekday visit before October 15. Until then the farm opens weekends only, plus the Columbus Day Monday, so a random Tuesday in early October will find the gates shut. Skip it too if you need to know the full gate price before committing - only the flash-sale figure is published.
