A village parks department corn maze at $8 an adult, which makes it comfortably the cheapest maze in the Alton-Godfrey area, but note it is a maze inside a public park rather than a pumpkin patch.
Adults 12 and over $8; children 6-11 $6; children 5 and under free. Haunted maze combo $10 adults, $8 children 6-11. Add-ons: cow train $3, hay wagon $3, jumping pillow $3. The corn crib is free for ages 10 and under.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $24.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
This one is not run by a farm. The Village of Godfrey parks and recreation department operates it, and that single fact explains almost everything about the pricing and the shape of the visit.
Eight dollars for an adult, six for a child aged 6 to 11, free for anyone five and under. Two adults and two school-age children walk in for $28. For comparison, a family of four at a large single-ticket Illinois fall farm is routinely paying eighty to ninety dollars. Nobody here is trying to extract a day’s spending out of you; they are running a community attraction that has to cover its costs.
The published list is the corn maze, a haunted version of the same maze, a cow train, hay wagon rides, a jumping pillow, a corn crib and a concession stand. That is a solid evening or afternoon. It is not a pumpkin patch, and there is no pick-your-own field in the record. If your plan was to walk a maze and come home with a pumpkin, this needs a second stop.
Add-ons are a flat $3 each. That flat pricing is honest and easy to plan with, but it adds up faster than it looks: two children doing the cow train, the hay wagon and the jumping pillow is $18, which is more than the two adult tickets. Decide the list at the car, not at the booth.
The haunted combo is the standout value. Ten dollars for an adult and eight for a child aged 6 to 11 is only two dollars over the standard ticket, which is close to unheard of. Commercial haunted mazes in this region generally price well into double figures on their own. If anyone in your group is interested, the upgrade is trivially worth it.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday only, and each day is a different experience.
Friday runs 6pm to 10pm, which is evening-only. By the middle of October that is entirely after dark in southern Illinois, so a Friday visit is a flashlight walk from the moment you arrive. The maze page explicitly tells you to bring a flashlight, which is the clearest possible signal about what the night version involves.
Saturday, 11am to 10pm, is the flexible day. It is the only one where you could do a daylight walk with young children in the morning and, if you wanted, come back for a dark one later.
Sunday, noon to 6pm, is daylight only and finishes early. It is the gentlest option and, running against a Friday and Saturday that both stretch to 10pm, is likely the quietest.
The village page describes the season as beginning in September and running to the beginning of November. No dates, no year. That is the weakest part of this record and it matters at exactly the two moments people care about: the opening weekend and Halloween.
Corn mazes in Illinois are also at the mercy of frost. When it comes, the corn goes down and the maze ends whether or not the calendar agrees. If you are aiming at the first weekend of November, call first.
Being inside Robert E. Glazebrook Community Park means there is a full public park wrapped around the attraction. That is genuinely useful with children: somewhere to eat a packed lunch, somewhere to burn off energy before or after, and no requirement to buy anything from the concession stand. It also suggests firmer parking and paths than a working farm field offers after a wet October week, though the maze itself is still cut into a field and will be muddy like any other.
The operator gives the season only as beginning in September and running to the beginning of November, with no dates and no year attached, so treat the schedule as the standard pattern rather than confirmed 2026 dates. It runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. Saturday 11am to 10pm is the one day offering both a daylight walk and a night walk. Friday is evening-only from 6pm, and Sunday finishes at 6pm. For a daylight family visit, Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon; for the flashlight version, Friday or Saturday night.
Ninety minutes to two hours for the maze plus a couple of the add-ons. The surrounding park means you can stretch that into an afternoon at no extra cost.
Three operating days a week across roughly nine weeks concentrates everybody into weekends, and Saturday is the only long day. Saturday evening in mid to late October will be the busiest slot of the season. Sunday afternoon, closing at 6pm, is usually the calmest.
Not published. The maze sits inside a village community park, so park parking rather than a farm field is the reasonable expectation, which usually means a firmer surface than a commercial patch after rain.
Not published in the record. Being inside a municipal community park suggests the surrounding facilities are more accessible than a working farm, but a corn maze is still cut into a field. Contact the village parks department if this matters.
You are specifically after a pumpkin patch. The published activity list here is a corn maze, a haunted maze, a cow train, hay wagon rides, a jumping pillow, a corn crib and a concession stand. There is no pick-your-own pumpkin field in the record. Skip it too if you can only go on a weekday, because it operates Friday to Sunday only.
The maze is inside Robert E. Glazebrook Community Park in Godfrey, so the park itself is the built-in pairing and costs nothing. Godfrey sits just north of Alton in Madison County, close enough to the St Louis metro east that a maze evening pairs naturally with a wider day on the Illinois side of the river.
Adults 12 and over are $8, children 6 to 11 are $6, and children five and under are free. The haunted maze combo is $10 for adults and $8 for children 6 to 11. Add-ons are $3 each for the cow train, hay wagon and jumping pillow, and the corn crib is free for ages 10 and under.
Friday 6pm to 10pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm, and Sunday noon to 6pm. It runs those three days only.
Not according to the published activity list, which covers the corn maze, the haunted maze, a cow train, hay wagon rides, a jumping pillow, a corn crib and a concession stand. If you want to pick pumpkins as well, plan a second stop.
The village page gives the season only as beginning in September through the beginning of November, with no specific dates and no year stated. Confirm before travelling, particularly for the first and last weekends.
