A high-activity farm in the heart of Northwest Arkansas' competitive weekend corridor, with a 9-acre corn maze as the centerpiece and a full roster of animals and rides — but no published price and an early September opening that signals early-season inventory questions.
Farmland Adventures is, by the numbers, one of the most activity-dense patches in Arkansas. A 9-acre corn maze, pony rides, a petting zoo, pig races, and hay rides all sit on one property, which makes it the kind of all-day destination that can justify a 30-minute drive from Fayetteville or Bentonville.
The setup works in your favor if you have mixed-age kids or you are a family that gravitates toward hands-on animal interaction. It works against you if you need to know the cost before you arrive. Farmland Adventures does not publish admission pricing anywhere — not on the website, not in directory listings. That absence is the single obstacle to planning a visit.
A 9-acre corn maze is genuinely substantial. Unlike smaller 1- to 2-acre mazes, which yield in 20 to 30 minutes, a maze this size can take 45 minutes to over an hour, depending on your confidence level and luck. That size is also useful as a statement of intent: the farm is not trying to be a quick stop. It is betting on time.
Springdale sits in the Ozark foothills, which means real elevation and a fall season that is genuinely distinct from the Delta and Gulf regions of Arkansas. You get cooler mornings and afternoons, actual fall color (which southern and eastern Arkansas usually miss), and real weekend demand pressure because the same Fayetteville-Bentonville-Rogers corridor is home to several high-activity farms all competing for the same Saturday families.
The September 11 opening is early by Arkansas standards. That timing raises a question worth a phone call: how many quality pumpkins will be on hand? Farms that open in mid-September often do so with field inventory that is not quite peak-ready.
Before you leave the house, call (479) 799-5033 to confirm:
The farm’s website is farmlandadventures.com.
Open September 11 through November 5, 2026. Friday and Saturday hours run 1pm to 9:30pm and 9am to 9:30pm respectively; Thursday in October adds a 3pm to 9:30pm slot. The November 5 end date is relatively late for Arkansas, so late-October weekends are peak season with long daylight. Early September dates before school opens may be light on crowds but risk incomplete pumpkin inventory.
Three to four hours minimum. With a 9-acre maze, multiple animal attractions, and an activity roster that runs six items deep, a short visit reads as rushed. Friday's 1pm start gives less daylight than Saturday morning, and evening visits trade daylight for smaller crowds.
Springdale is part of the Northwest Arkansas boom-corridor (Fayetteville, Bentonville, Rogers area), which means weekend demand pressure is real and growing. Friday afternoon and evening hours may be quieter than Saturday peak. September weather varies — early dates may draw lighter crowds.

You need a fixed budget for the day. Farmland Adventures does not publish admission or activity pricing anywhere visible, and the farm asks visitors to call or check the website for current rates. That step is essential before you commit to the trip.
The farm does not publish prices online. Call (479) 799-5033 or check farmlandadventures.com for current 2026 rates.
The maze is 9 acres, which is substantial — plan on 45 minutes to over an hour depending on your pace and how lost you get.
That is not specified in available sources. Call the farm to confirm whether rides and petting zoo are bundled in the ticket or charged separately.
Yes, but only in October: the farm adds Thursday 3pm to 9:30pm hours that month. September and November appear to be weekends only (Friday-Saturday, plus Thursday in October).
September 11 – November 5, 2026. Friday 1pm-9:30pm, Saturday 9am-9:30pm, Thursday in October 3pm-9:30pm. Hours: Variable by day.
