Escobar operates an eight-acre corn maze on Aquidneck Island in Portsmouth, making it one of Rhode Island’s largest mazes by acreage. The free-admission model is a plus: you enter the grounds free and pay only for the maze and hayrides you actually use. This is the same farm-friendly approach as Cucumber Hill in Foster, but in a different region.
Hayrides run Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. at $6 per person—a tight weekend-only window. Pumpkin picking is available, which is the main reason many families visit this type of venue.
Free entry plus activity pricing works out cleanly for selective visitors. A family of two adults and two kids (ages 6 and 11):
If you skip hayrides and just do the maze and pumpkin picking, the cost drops to $36 plus the weight of pumpkins chosen. A ten-pound pumpkin costs less than $10 at most farms, so a maze visit plus pumpkin is typically $40-50 for a family—competitive against paid-admission sites.
Portsmouth sits on Aquidneck Island, convenient for Newport-area residents and visitors. The weekend-only schedule (Friday-Sunday plus Columbus Day) means all demand is concentrated on three days, which can drive up crowds on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Mid-morning to early afternoon likely offers the shortest maze times.
The 5 p.m. last-entry time means evening visits are not available; plan for a mid-day or afternoon outing.
Eight acres with unknown path complexity means the maze is substantial but not as documented as Salisbury Farm (Johnston), which publishes its five-acre-plus-mile-of-paths history. Call the farm if you want candid feedback on maze difficulty; a real eight-acre puzzle is different from an eight-acre area with shorter paths.
The extended season (Labor Day into early November, estimated) offers flexibility if your fall schedule is tight. Early September usually sees lower crowds than mid-October.
Current website status, exact 2026 dates and pricing, accessibility details, and food options are unconfirmed. This is a situation where a quick phone call before committing to a drive is essential. The farm is worth visiting if it’s confirmed operating, but don’t assume fall 2026 hours match 2025 exactly.
September weekends (Labor Day through mid-September) for early season; mid-to-late October weekends for peak pumpkin availability. Weekday visits (when open) run lighter.
1.5-2.5 hours for a complete maze experience; add 30 minutes if doing hayrides.
Weekend-only operation means concentrated demand on Saturdays and Sundays. Columbus Day (Oct 12) is also open, offering a holiday option. Last entry at 5 p.m., so mid-morning to early afternoon is least crowded.
No details in record. Typical farm lot; arrive mid-morning on weekends to ensure convenient parking.
Not specified in available records. Call (401) 683-1444 to confirm accessibility accommodations.
