One flat ticket covers everything on the property, which makes it one of the few Florida patches where the price you see at the gate is close to the price you actually pay — and the evening hours are a genuine advantage in September heat.
Adults (13-64) $17; kids 2-12, seniors 65+, and military/LEO/fire $14; under 23 months free. One admission covers all attractions.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $56.00 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.
The pitch here is simpler than most Florida fall farms, and better for it: pay once, do everything. The published 2026 pricing is $17 for adults 13 to 64 and $14 for kids 2 to 12, seniors and military or first responders, and that single ticket covers the corn maze, the tractor hayride, live animal demos, mini golf, tire swings, the Big Frank-n-Slide and the pumpkin patch. No wristband tiers, no per-ride tickets, no gem mining upsell waiting at the exit of the hayride.
That matters more than it sounds. At most Florida fall festivals the gate price is the opening bid and the real number lands 40 to 60 percent higher once the kids have found the pony rides and the gem sluice. Here, the gate price plus lunch is roughly your day. A family of four is $62 in, and the only meaningful variable left is how much you spend at the food stand — which you will, because outside food isn’t allowed.
Harvest Holler opens Friday 4pm to 8pm, Saturday noon to 8pm and Sunday 1pm to 5pm across a season running mid-September to mid-November. Two of those three days run into the evening, and in Florida that is a considerable advantage. September and early October afternoons here sit in the low nineties with the humidity to match, and most patches close at 5pm, forcing you into the worst hours of the day. A 6pm walk through a corn maze is a fundamentally different experience from a 1pm one.
The corollary is that Sunday is the weakest value on offer. Same admission, four hours, all of them in the heat. If your schedule only allows Sunday, be at the gate at 1pm rather than drifting in at 3pm.
As at essentially every patch in Florida, the pumpkins were not grown in that field. The state’s climate does not support a commercial fall pumpkin crop, so pumpkins are trucked in from northern growers and arranged for picking and photos. This is not a knock on Harvest Holler specifically — it is true statewide, and any Florida farm claiming otherwise is stretching. What you are buying is a well-equipped fall festival with pumpkins as set dressing. Judge it on the maze, the hayride and the slide.
The no-outside-food rule is worth planning around rather than discovering at the gate; so is the no-pets rule, which catches out people who assume a farm is dog-friendly. Neither is unusual, but both are absolute as published.
The 23-month free cutoff is the oddest detail in the price table and the one we would double-check if you have a two-year-old. Most farms use “under 2”; this one specifies 23 months, which reads as a deliberate distinction rather than a typo.
Finally, the season length works in your favor. Nine weekends is generous by Florida standards, where plenty of festivals compress into three or four October Saturdays. That means you can pick a mid-week-adjacent Friday in early October, skip the Halloween crush entirely, and still get the whole property to yourself for four evening hours.
Friday, 4pm to 8pm. That window is the single best thing about this place: you get the corn maze and hayride in falling light instead of full Central Florida sun, and Fridays are almost always the lightest of the three days a Fri-Sun farm is open. Saturday runs noon to 8pm, so a late-afternoon Saturday arrival gets you most of the same benefit with more people in it. Sunday is the trap — 1pm to 5pm is only four hours, entirely in the hottest part of the day, for the same admission price.
Three to four hours. With a corn maze, hayride, mini golf, animal demos and a slide all included in one ticket, a 90-minute visit means paying full price for a fraction of it. Budget the maze at 30-45 minutes on its own if you actually finish it.
Only open Friday through Sunday across a roughly nine-week season, so demand concentrates into three days a week. Expect the October Saturdays, and especially the two weekends closest to Halloween, to be the busiest. Friday evening is the reliable escape.
The farm has not published parking details we can quote. Assume what is true of nearly every Florida farm of this size: an unpaved field. If it has rained that week — and Central Florida afternoons in September and October usually deliver — expect soft ground and wear shoes you don't mind.
You only want a pumpkin. There is no walk-in-and-buy tier here; a family of four pays roughly $62 before food, and that money is buying attractions, not gourds. Skip it too if your child is under about three — the headline attractions skew older, and a corn maze is not a toddler activity.
Yes. The farm's published pricing states one admission covers all attractions, which includes the corn maze, tractor hayride, mini golf and the slide. That is the main thing separating it from festival-style patches where the maze and rides are add-ons.
No to both. The farm lists no pets, no drones and no outside food. Plan to buy on site.
Two adults at $17 and two children at $14 comes to $62 at the published 2026 rates, before food. Under 23 months is free.
