A working produce farm and year-round market rather than a ticketed attraction park, where the market itself is free to walk into - which makes a weekday visit for pumpkins, pies and produce one of the few genuinely no-cost fall outings near Houston.
Froberg's does not publish fall festival admission prices on its own website. The market itself is free to enter; maze and activity pricing is not listed online.
Most of the farms in this part of Texas are attraction businesses that happen to sell produce. Froberg’s is the reverse: a working produce farm and market that adds a fall festival on top. That inversion is the useful thing to understand, because it changes what a visit is worth and what it costs.
The market is open every day of the year, 8am to 6pm, and it is free to walk into. In a region where a family of four routinely pays $60 to $150 to get through a farm gate in October, the option of driving out, buying pumpkins, buying a pie, and paying nothing for the privilege of being there is worth naming plainly. The on-site bakery and kitchen are a large part of why local people come at all.
During the fall festival, the corn maze and the pumpkin patch are open daily. Everything else - the children’s activities - runs at weekends only, and the farm adds “weather permitting” to that.
So there are effectively two versions of this farm. The weekday version is a market, a maze and a patch: quiet, quick, cheap, and perfectly good if what you want is pumpkins and produce. The weekend version adds the activities that a five-year-old would call the point of the trip. A family that drives 30 miles from Houston on a Tuesday expecting the second version will get the first.
The weather caveat deserves attention too. The farm asks visitors to call ahead before driving out, which is not a formality - it tells you the weekend lineup is genuinely contingent. Brazoria County in October gets Gulf weather, and field activities on soaked ground do not run.
Admission prices are not published anywhere on the farm’s site. We do not know what the corn maze costs, what the weekend activities cost, or whether they are bundled or sold separately. That is an unusual gap and it means we cannot do the family-of-four arithmetic here that we would normally do. Call 281-585-3531 and ask before you build a budget.
The dates carry a smaller uncertainty. The site’s banner reads September 19 to November 8 with no year attached, and describes the festival as opening the last weekend in September and running to the first weekend in November. Both September 19 and November 8 land on weekend days in 2026, which is consistent, but consistency is not confirmation. The outdoor pumpkin patch in particular is described as October-only, which is a narrower window than the festival banner implies.
Nothing on the site says whether the pumpkins are grown at Alvin. Given that this is a genuine produce farm rather than a display operation, the question is more interesting here than at most Houston-area patches, but it is still unanswered and we are not going to answer it for them.
The short version: come on a weekday for the market and the maze and pay nothing to be there, or come on an October weekend for the full thing and call first to check it is running.
The farm market is open seven days a week, 8am to 6pm, all year. The fall festival is signposted as September 19 through November 8, though the banner carries no year - those dates do fall on a Saturday and Sunday in 2026, which is consistent, but they need confirming. The split that matters is this: the corn maze and pumpkin patch run daily during the festival, while the children's activities operate at weekends only and only when the weather allows. So a weekday visit is the quiet, cheap, small version and a weekend visit is the full one. The outdoor pumpkin patch specifically is described as an October feature, not a September or November one.
An hour on a weekday, when the market, the bakery and the maze are the offer. Two to three hours on an October weekend once the children's activities are running. This is not a full-day property and does not present itself as one.
Daily opening across a seven-week festival window spreads visitors far better than the weekend-only farms nearby. October Saturdays, when the children's activities run, will be the busy days. Weekday mornings at the market should be calm.
Not published. A working produce farm on West Highway 6 will have its own lot for market customers, but the surface is not described and we are not going to assume it.
Not addressed. A farm market building is generally a better prospect than a corn maze on field ground, but nothing published clarifies either. Call 281-585-3531 if it matters.
You want a rides-and-attractions day. The list here is a corn maze, a pumpkin patch and weekend children's activities - nothing like the forty-attraction festivals elsewhere around Houston. Skip a weekday too if the children's activities are the reason you are going, because they only run at weekends.
Alvin is roughly 30 miles southeast of Houston on West Highway 6, which puts the farm on the way to the coast rather than out on its own. The bakery and kitchen on site are the pairing most locals actually make.
Froberg's does not publish fall festival admission anywhere on its site, so we cannot tell you what the maze and activities cost. What we can say is that the farm market itself is free to enter, so a visit for produce, baked goods and pumpkins carries no gate fee at all.
Yes. During the fall festival the corn maze and pumpkin patch are open daily. It is the other children's activities that run at weekends only, and only when the weather permits.
The outdoor pumpkin patch is described as an October feature. The wider fall festival is signposted as running from September 19 to November 8, but that banner did not carry a year, so confirm before planning around the edges of that window.
The farm asks visitors to, which is a signal worth taking seriously - it suggests the weekend activity lineup genuinely depends on the weather rather than running regardless. On the Gulf coast in October that is a reasonable position for a farm to take.
September 19 – November 8, 2026. Farm market open year-round, seven days a week. During the fall festival the corn maze and pumpkin patch are open daily; all other festival activities run weekends only, weather permitting.. Hours: 8:00am-6:00pm daily (farm market hours; excludes holidays).
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. Froberg's does not publish fall festival admission prices on its own website. The market itself is free to enter; maze and activity pricing is not listed online.
3601 West Highway 6, Alvin, TX 77511, in Brazoria County. It is one of 6 patches we track in Greater Houston.
We track 6 patches in Greater Houston. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
Its season runs about 51 days against a regional average of 51, so it is broadly in line with the rest of the region.
What sets it apart locally: it has a market, bakery or taproom, which most Greater Houston patches on our list do not.
