Hellerick's Family Farm

📍 5500 N. Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18902🗓 September 11 – November 15, 2026🏷 From $16.99/person

One of the few Bucks County farms open daily and running to mid-November, with a weekday rate three dollars cheaper than the weekend and a season pass that pays for itself in two visits — but several headline attractions carry age floors that lock out the under-sevens.

Adventure Farm general admission September 11-November 15, 2026: $16.99 weekdays, $19.99 weekends. Groups of 16 or more $15.99 weekday / $16.99 weekend. School groups $10.99 including a free pumpkin. Season pass $39.99. Birthday party package $399.00 for 16 guests. A pre-sale saving 15% ran until September 10.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $67.96 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.

Our take

Two structural facts separate Hellerick’s from most of its Bucks County neighbours, and both are worth money. It is open daily rather than weekends only, and it stays open to November 15 rather than closing on Halloween. Between them, that turns a fall visit from a scheduling problem into an easy one.

The daily opening in particular changes the crowd maths. A farm running eight or ten weekend days has to absorb an entire county’s autumn demand into those days. A farm running sixty-plus days does not. You will still find an October Saturday busy, but the option to go on a Wednesday instead genuinely exists here, and the farm has priced that option deliberately.

The weekday discount is the headline

$16.99 on a weekday, $19.99 at a weekend. For one adult that is loose change; for two adults and two children it is $67.96 against $79.96, a saving of twelve dollars for choosing a different day. Add the quieter site and the shorter queues and the weekday is straightforwardly the better product at the lower price, which is not a trade-off you often get to make.

The season pass sharpens this further. At $39.99 it is about two weekend admissions, or two and a third weekday ones. Given a season that stretches from mid-September to mid-November, a local family that goes once in early October and once in early November has already broken even. For anyone within twenty minutes of Doylestown, buying single tickets is close to a mistake.

There was also a pre-sale running at 15% off until September 10. That is a decision-forcing date rather than a discount you can drift into.

Read the age floors before you buy

This is the thing most likely to spoil a visit. Hellerick’s sells one admission price, but the attractions behind it are not all open to everyone. The aerial adventure ropes course is 7 and up. The silo climbing wall is 5 and up. The goat experience is 4 and up. Goat yoga is 12 and up.

Work through what that means for a real family. A group with a nine-year-old and a four-year-old pays two children’s admissions and gets two very different farms: the older child can do essentially everything, the younger one is limited to the maze, the wagon ride, mini golf, pick-your-own and the obstacle course. That is still a reasonable afternoon, but it is not the farm the photographs are selling, and it is worth knowing before you are standing at the bottom of the ropes course explaining it.

Conversely, if your children are all seven or over, this is one of the better-value tickets in the region, because the expensive-to-run attractions — the ropes course, the climbing wall — are the ones they can actually use.

Glow Golf and the long evening

The 9:30pm close looks generous until you realise what it is for. Glow Golf runs 7:30pm to 9:30pm, and it is the reason the gates stay open. If you arrive at four, there is a stretch between the daytime attractions losing their appeal and Glow Golf starting that you will need to fill with food and sitting down.

Better to treat it as two possible visits. Either come in the morning or early afternoon and leave before dusk, or come late specifically for Glow Golf. Trying to do both in one stretch is a long day with a flat patch in the middle, particularly with younger children.

One seasonal note on that evening slot: the same 7:30pm start feels quite different across this long season. In mid-September it begins in the last of the light. By the first week of November it begins nearly two hours after sunset, in genuine cold. A November Glow Golf trip needs hats and proper coats, not fleeces.

If you are running late in the season

The November 15 end date is a real asset. Frost will have finished the corn maze at plenty of Pennsylvania farms by then, and many will simply have shut. If your October disappeared into other commitments, Hellerick’s is one of the few places in the region where the fall trip is still available in the second week of November — just go in expecting a colder, barer version of it, and check by phone that the maze is still standing.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The Adventure Farm runs September 11 through November 15, 2026, daily, 10:00am to 9:30pm. A weekday is both cheaper ($16.99 against $19.99) and quieter, and a Tuesday in early October is the best-value version of this farm. If Glow Golf is the draw, it runs only in the last two hours, 7:30pm to 9:30pm, which means an evening visit is a fundamentally different trip from a daytime one. Note also how much daylight moves across this season: a 6:00pm arrival in mid-September is still afternoon, and the same arrival in early November is fully dark.

How long to budget

Three to four hours for a daytime visit that uses the maze, the wagon ride, mini golf and the physical attractions. Add two if you are staying through to Glow Golf, since the gap between the daytime attractions winding down and 7:30pm has to be filled with something.

Crowds

Being open daily across nine weeks is the release valve here — the demand that other Bucks County farms compress into eight or ten weekend days is spread across roughly sixty-six operating days. Weekend afternoons in October are still the pinch point, and the weekday price gap gives you a financial reason to avoid them.

Parking

Not published. Assume unpaved or field overflow, which is the norm for a working farm in Bucks County, and expect it to be soft after October rain.

Strollers and accessibility

Not published. An adventure-farm format built around a ropes course, a climbing wall and an obstacle course is physical by design; the maze, wagon ride and pick-your-own areas are the gentler end. Call 215-766-8388 before travelling if this matters.

What to bring

  • Closed-toe shoes, which climbing walls and ropes courses generally require and mud makes sensible anyway
  • Layers for any visit that runs past dusk, and a proper coat for a November date
  • A card, plus a plan for what the under-sevens will do while older siblings are on the ropes course
  • A torch is not needed for Glow Golf, but a warm hat by then in late October is

How to spend less here

  • Go on a weekday. $16.99 against $19.99 saves $12 for a family of four, and the weekday is quieter as well
  • The $39.99 season pass costs roughly two weekend admissions. If there is any chance of a second visit — and a season running to November 15 makes that easy — the pass is the obvious buy
  • A pre-sale saving 15% ran until September 10, so deciding before the season opens is worth real money
  • Groups of 16 or more drop to $15.99 weekday / $16.99 weekend. Two families travelling together may be closer to that threshold than they realise
  • School groups are $10.99 and include a free pumpkin, which is cheaper than most families can buy a pumpkin and a day out separately

Who it suits

Good for

  • Children roughly 7 to 14, who clear the age floors on the aerial ropes course, silo climbing wall and goat experience and can use the whole ticket
  • Local families who will come back more than twice, given the $39.99 season pass
  • Weekday visitors — teachers on in-service days, shift workers, home-schoolers — who get the cheaper rate and thinner crowds
  • Anyone who has left the pumpkin trip too late, since the season runs a fortnight past Halloween
  • School and larger groups, at $10.99 per pupil including a pumpkin

Skip it if

Your children are small. The aerial adventure course starts at 7, the silo climbing wall at 5, the goat experience at 4 and goat yoga at 12, so a family with a three-year-old is paying close to full admission for a fraction of the farm. Skip the evening slot too if you are not specifically there for Glow Golf; the 9:30pm close exists for that and little else.

Worth pairing with

Doylestown itself is a short drive and has a walkable centre, which makes a weekday afternoon at the farm easy to pair with an early dinner in town rather than a second ticketed stop.

Common questions

How much is admission to Hellerick's Family Farm?

For the September 11 to November 15, 2026 season, general admission is $16.99 on weekdays and $19.99 at weekends. Groups of 16 or more pay $15.99 weekday and $16.99 weekend, school groups are $10.99 with a free pumpkin, and a season pass is $39.99.

Is everything included in general admission?

The published pages did not break out attraction-by-attraction add-on pricing beyond general admission, so we cannot confirm what sits outside the gate. What is clearly documented is age limits rather than extra charges: the aerial ropes course is 7 and up, the silo climbing wall 5 and up, the goat experience 4 and up and goat yoga 12 and up.

How late is Hellerick's open?

9:30pm daily. Glow Golf occupies the final two hours, 7:30pm to 9:30pm, and is the main reason the farm stays open that late.
