A large family farm with a 10-acre corn maze and free entry makes this a good bet for groups seeking multiple activities without paying an admission gate.
Free admission and parking; activities are free or low-cost
Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.
Hoffman Farms Store is a large, established family farm in southwest Beaverton, serving the Portland metro area. It opens mid-September and runs through October 31, but only Wednesday through Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday). Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Free admission and free parking make entry low-barrier. The research notes describe it as a “comprehensive fall experience with multiple activities,” which means you’re not paying a gate and then paying again for each ride or attraction—everything is included or priced affordably.
The core offerings are u-pick pumpkins, a corn maze, wagon rides, and the Hoffman Farms Express (a specific ride or tram; details aren’t spelled out in the record, so calling ahead clarifies what it is). For a free-entry farm, this is a robust activity menu.
The 10-acre corn maze is the signature draw. That’s substantial—depending on your group’s puzzle-solving speed and how many dead-ends you explore, expect 30 minutes to an hour to find the exit. For families with older children (5-12 range), that’s a solid engagement activity. Young toddlers may find it frustrating or tedious.
Wagon rides are included, and the u-pick pumpkins give kids hands-on participation in selecting and harvesting their own.
Open Wednesday-Sunday only, which is a practical limitation but also means you can’t show up on a random Monday if the mood strikes. Plan ahead for your day of the week.
Mid-September to late September is less crowded than peak October. Weekday visits (Wednesday-Friday) are quieter than weekends. If maze navigation without jostling is important to you, a Wednesday or Thursday morning visit beats a Saturday afternoon.
Late October pumpkins are larger and more fully colored than early-season ones, but October weather in the Portland metro area becomes wetter. Rain doesn’t close the farm but makes the maze and fields muddier. Dress accordingly.
Families can select and cut their own pumpkins. For children ages 5-10, this is often the favorite part of a farm visit—ownership, autonomy, and a sense of accomplishment. Make sure kids wear shoes suitable for uneven field ground.
A 10-acre maze plus wagon rides plus u-pick means 3-4 hours on site is realistic if your group actually explores everything. This isn’t a 45-minute hit-the-maze-and-leave kind of place. Budget time accordingly.
If you’re visiting with very young children (under 4), confirm that the Hoffman Farms Express ride and wagon routes accommodate strollers or whether you’ll need to leave them behind.
Free parking. Farm lot surfaces are typical for rural operations—gravel, packed dirt, or similar. Fall rain can soften things, so appropriate footwear matters.
Specific pumpkin varieties, restroom locations, and details on the Hoffman Farms Express ride all warrant a quick call to (503) 628-5418 before you visit, especially if you’re planning a 3+ hour outing with young children or have accessibility concerns.
Current pricing for any specialized attractions beyond the free base admission should be confirmed by phone.
Free admission plus a 10-acre maze and multiple rides create a comprehensive fall experience without a high gate price. For large family groups or multi-generational outings, the activity variety means everyone has something to engage with. The Wednesday-Sunday schedule requires planning but also signals a established, deliberate operation—not a pop-up.
The tight October season means demand concentrates on weekends. Planning a weekday visit or arriving early in the season protects against crowds and muddy conditions as fall progresses.
Mid-to-late October for the largest pumpkins and coolest weather; avoid peak Saturday midday if you prefer a less-crowded maze experience.
3-4 hours to navigate the full corn maze, ride the Hoffman Farms Express, pick pumpkins, and explore the fields.
Weekends are busier, especially midday and late afternoon. Weekday visits (Wed-Fri) offer quieter maze navigation. Late September is less crowded than October.
Free on-site parking; typical farm lot surface conditions.
Main farm areas and wagon areas are accessible; corn maze navigation and field terrain depend on individual mobility needs.
