Solid family combo with corn maze, pumpkins, petting zoo, and hayrides; open 3.5 acres of pumpkins and 8-acre maze.
Fields of Fun checks the boxes for a true fall-activity destination: 60 pumpkin varieties across 3.5 acres, an 8-acre corn maze, hayrides, and a petting zoo. For families looking to spend 2–3 hours and keep everyone engaged, this density of activities beats a single-focus patch.
The 60 pumpkin varieties is substantial—enough to justify the trip if pumpkin selection matters to you. The 8-acre maze is a genuine feature, not a marketing afterthought; at typical corn height, an 8-acre maze takes 30–60 minutes for a family group to navigate, with real dead ends.
The published hours are noteworthy: 10am start means no early-morning advantage over crowds, but the 9pm close is a late option if your family prefers afternoon visits. The catch: it’s closed Sunday and Monday, which limits weekend flexibility if you’re not flexible on which Saturday or Friday you visit.
October Sioux Center weather is cool and generally dry mid-month, shifting from the late-September heat. The later your visit within the season, the higher your odds of predictable weather for maze-walking.
Admission pricing for 2026 is not published in available sources. The listing suggests a bundled admission that includes petting zoo, hayride access, and pumpkin-patch entry—but that’s an inference, not confirmation. Pumpkins are priced by the unit (assumed) but exact rates are unknown.
Call (712) 441-4502 to ask what admission includes and what pumpkins and other extras cost. The farm can help you plan an accurate budget.
Families with kids aged 4–12 will find the most value. Toddlers under 3 can enjoy hayrides and the petting zoo but will miss the maze. Older teenagers may find the activities too juvenile. Multigenerational groups and homeschool classes often use corn mazes and petting zoos, so consider this if you’re organizing.
Sioux Center is in far northwestern Iowa (Sioux County), near the Nebraska border. It’s a genuinely rural area—plan to drive 20–45 minutes from most nearby towns. GPS coordinates confirm the location; call ahead if you’re unsure of exact access.
The farm lists location near Sandy Hollow Recreation Area, which means the surrounding landscape is working agricultural land—plan accordingly for field parking and muddy conditions after rain. October in this part of Iowa starts cool (40s) and warms into the 60s by midday; layering is essential, especially for hayrides and maze walking when you’re stationary.
Call (712) 441-4502 or check fieldsoffun.net to confirm:
Mid to late October; maze is more fun when weather is predictable (Iowa warms and dries mid-month).
2–3 hours (hayride, maze, and pumpkin picking)
Busier on weekends; Sioux Center is a rural area but Fields of Fun's size and activities attract regional traffic.
Farm lot; assume unpaved, muddy after rain.
Hayrides available, petting zoo present. Confirm specific accessibility before visiting with mobility needs.
You need admission pricing confirmed in advance; 2026 rates not published at this writing.
The 8-acre corn maze is separate from the 3.5-acre pumpkin patch. Both are on the property. Maze difficulty depends on year and corn height—typically takes 30–60 minutes for families.
Yes, but a 3–4-year-old will need an adult. Older kids (6+) can try it semi-independently with supervision. The maze gets confusing; bring patience or sit it out.
Included in admission based on the listing; confirm with a call to (712) 441-4502 or fieldsoffun.net.
