The daytime family half of the Kersey Valley complex, sold as one all-inclusive weekend ticket whose price you can only see inside the booking flow - and with $10 vehicle parking, extra-cost pumpkins and a 5pm last-ticket cutoff sitting outside it.
Admission is a single all-inclusive ticket but the price is not printed on the Maize Adventure site - it is only shown inside the booking flow. Parking is $10 per vehicle. Gem mining and pumpkins cost extra on top of admission.
Kersey Valley is a complex rather than a farm, and the first job in planning a visit is working out which part of it you are going to. Spookywoods is the well-publicised haunted attraction and it is genuinely not for children. There is a Christmas event as well. Maize Adventure is the daytime family arm, and it is the one this page is about.
That matters because search results and local word of mouth blur the three together, and a parent who books the wrong thing at a site with this reputation is going to have a bad evening.
The Maize Adventure model is all-inclusive, which is the good part: the corn maze, the train ride, the mega slide, the adventure play area and Dinosaur Discovery are all covered by a single admission rather than sold as a strip of tokens. For a family with two children that is usually the better structure, because it removes the running negotiation about whether they can do one more thing.
The complication is what sits outside it. Parking is $10 per vehicle. Gem mining costs extra. Pumpkins cost extra. So the real cost of a Saturday is admission times four, plus $10, plus whatever the children extract at the gem mining table, plus the pumpkins you came for.
And the admission figure itself is not published. The site shows a date-picker calendar and reveals the price only once you are inside the booking flow. That is a common enough e-commerce pattern and an actively unhelpful one for anyone comparing farms across the Triad. The fix is five minutes: open the calendar, select a date, read the number, then decide.
Both days close at 6pm, but last tickets go at 5pm. Saturday opens at 11am, giving a six-hour window before that cutoff. Sunday opens at 1pm, giving four.
Sunday is therefore a meaningfully worse day for the same money, and if your household has any flexibility, Saturday is the answer. Even on Saturday, arriving at three in the afternoon means paying a full all-inclusive price for the last stretch of the day - the least efficient version of a ticket designed to be used at length.
The farm has not published explicit opening and closing dates for 2026. The booking calendar presumably encodes them, but the site does not state them in plain text, so this page cannot tell you when the season starts or ends. Prior-season reporting described a late-September to late-October weekends-only run, which is a reasonable expectation and nothing more.
Practically, that means the last weekend of October is the one at risk. If your plan depends on a visit close to Halloween, check the calendar rather than assuming the season runs to the 31st.
Use the Kersey Valley Road address for Maize Adventure. The complex also operates a Cecil Farm Road entrance for its other attractions, and arriving at the wrong gate on a busy October Saturday costs you time you were going to spend in the maze. It is a small thing, but it is the sort of small thing that starts an afternoon badly.
Weekends only, Saturday 11am to 6pm and Sunday 1pm to 6pm, with last tickets sold at 5pm on either day. The farm did not print explicit 2026 season dates when we checked - its site uses a date-picker calendar instead - so the run is genuinely unknown; a Triad Moms on Main round-up listed a September 27 to October 26 weekends-only season for the prior year, which is indicative only. Saturday is the better day by a wide margin: it opens two hours earlier for the same 5pm ticket cutoff, which is the difference between a relaxed visit and a rushed one.
Three hours or so. A corn maze, train ride, mega slide, adventure play area and Dinosaur Discovery are all included in one ticket, and using them properly is the only way an all-inclusive price makes sense.
Weekends-only operation across what appears to be a short season concentrates demand hard. The 5pm ticket cutoff also creates a real bottleneck: everyone who wants a full afternoon has to arrive within a few hours of each other. Saturday late morning is the peak; Sunday at 1pm is the whole day starting at once.
Paid, and separately from admission: $10 per vehicle. That is unusual enough to plan around, since it is a flat charge that a single person pays as much as a family of six. The record does not describe the surface. One navigation note - the Maize Adventure address is on Kersey Valley Road, but the wider complex also uses a Cecil Farm Road entrance for its other attractions, so make sure you are aiming at the right gate.
Nothing published. A corn maze, a mega slide and an adventure play area are physical attractions on farm ground, and a train ride involves a step up. Call 336-431-1700 in advance if this matters to your party.
You can only go on a weekday. The Maize Adventure is Saturdays and Sundays only. Skip a Sunday if you want a long visit, because a 1pm opening against a 5pm last-ticket cutoff leaves a narrow window. And skip it entirely if you are looking for Spookywoods - that is a different, separately ticketed attraction on the same property, and it is not for young children.
Archdale is in Randolph County between High Point and Asheboro, which puts it within half an hour of most of the Triad. If you are making a day of it, the orchard country further south-east in the county is the natural complement to a fun-park style visit here.
The site does not print a price. Admission is a single all-inclusive ticket but the figure is only shown inside the online booking calendar, so you have to start a booking to find out. Parking is separately $10 per vehicle, and gem mining and pumpkins cost extra.
The corn maze, train ride, mega slide, adventure play area and Dinosaur Discovery. Gem mining and pumpkins are not included.
No. Spookywoods is the Kersey Valley complex's haunted attraction, on the same property but separately ticketed and not suitable for young children. Maize Adventure is the family daytime event. The complex also runs a Christmas event.
Before 5pm on either day, because that is when the last tickets are sold. Saturday opens at 11am and Sunday at 1pm, both closing at 6pm.
