Eastern Oregon's longest-season pumpkin destination, running September 26 through November 8 with an 8-acre corn maze, multiple smaller mazes for younger children, and unique attractions (zip line, fire pits, tractor rides).
Echo Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch is Eastern Oregon’s fall destination, distinguished by an unusually long season (September 26 through November 8), an 8-acre corn maze, and supporting activities (zip line, fire pits, tractor-pulled rides) that span a family afternoon or an evening outing.
The geography shapes the experience. Echo is in Gilliam County, northeastern Oregon, high-desert country east of the Cascade rain shadow. The region is drier than western Oregon, which means October and November weather is more reliably clear and less muddy than Willamette Valley or Southern Oregon farms. The trade-off is that Eastern Oregon temperatures swing more dramatically between day and night, and November evenings cool off fast.
A farm that stays open through November 8 is a rarity. Most farms close Halloween, but Echo extends well into the season, which matters for households whose fall schedules run late, for Thanksgiving-week visits, and for anyone who wants a pumpkin outing without the mid-October crowds. The extended calendar also trades inventory risk—late-season pumpkins may be smaller or more limited in variety—against the convenience of a quieter visit window.
The farm operates three distinct mazes: the 8-acre corn maze (substantial, for experienced navigators), a mini-maze, and a straw-bale maze. That layering is useful for mixed-age groups—older kids can tackle the full corn maze while younger children do the mini or straw-bale versions, and families can regroup for tractor rides and fire-pit time.
The 8-acre magnitude means plan 45 minutes to over an hour for the full walk. That commitment is real, so set expectations before entering.
The farm is open Friday noon to 10pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm, and Sunday 11am to 6pm. Tuesday through Thursday are reserved for school groups, which means individual families cannot visit on weekdays. That constraint matters for households where only weekday free time is available—you must shift plans or choose a weekday-flexible farm.
The school-group model is also why the farm operates year-round: fall is not the only busy period.
The tractor rides are included in the listing, but it is unclear whether they are part of admission or separate add-ons. Same with the fire-pit access. Call (509) 528-5808 (note: that is a 509 Washington area code, which is unusual for an Oregon farm—double-check the number when you call) to clarify what admission covers.
The farm’s open-until-10pm Friday and Saturday hours mean you can visit as light fails and see the maze in twilight or full darkness. That is unusual and appeals to families who want an evening outing rather than an afternoon visit. Bring a flashlight.
Eastern Oregon is high desert: drier than western Oregon, with clear October and November days but cold nights. If you are planning a November visit for Thanksgiving week, plan for jacket weather and rapid cooling after sunset. The fire pits become practical, not just novelties.
September 26 through November 8, Friday noon to 10pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm, Sunday 11am to 6pm. School groups book Tuesday through Thursday. For public visiting, the farm is weekend-only. Early September is off-calendar; mid-October is peak; late October and November extend well into the holiday season. School breaks (fall break, Thanksgiving week) will draw heavier crowds.
Three to four hours for a full visit including the 8-acre maze, smaller mazes and tractor rides. A two-hour focused visit is possible if you prioritize the main maze.
Weekends will be busier, especially mid-October and November holiday weekends. The long evening hours (open until 10pm Friday and Saturday) ease congestion for families who prefer evening or twilight visits. Weekday school-group booking keeps the property active even on closed-to-public days.
Not specified. Assume field or lot parking typical of Eastern Oregon farms; soft ground after rain possible, though Eastern Oregon is generally drier than western Oregon.
Not published. Contact (509) 528-5808 to ask whether the maze, fire pits and tractor-ride routes are navigable for guests with mobility limitations.
You need a weekday visit. The farm is weekends only for public (Friday noon start, Saturday and Sunday only). School groups book Tuesday through Thursday, but individual families cannot visit on weekdays. You also cannot visit before September 26.
The farm is open September 26 through November 8, 2026, weekends only for the public: Friday noon to 10pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm, Sunday 11am to 6pm. Tuesday through Thursday are reserved for school group bookings.
Eight acres is substantial—plan 45 minutes to over an hour to walk the full maze, depending on complexity. The farm also offers a mini-maze and straw-bale maze for younger children, so mixed-age groups can split up or do different routes.
The farm lists tractor rides, fire pits, mini-maze, straw-bale maze, a zip line and a pumpkin patch. Confirm whether all are included with admission or whether some are add-on charges by calling (509) 528-5808.
Yes. The farm stays open through November 8, which is unusually late. Weekend hours are Friday noon to 10pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm, Sunday 11am to 6pm. This makes it a Thanksgiving-week option, though inventory may be lower and crowds may be higher.
September 26 – November 8, 2026. Friday-Sunday (School groups Tue-Thu). Hours: Friday 2:00 PM - 10:00 PM, Saturday 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM, Sunday 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM.

We track 4 patches in Eastern Oregon. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
Its season runs about 44 days against a regional average of 34, so it is a notably longer window than most of its neighbours, which takes the pressure off picking a weekend.
What sets it apart locally: it has rides and play structures, which most Eastern Oregon patches on our list do not.
