Our take

Loblolly Acres is a mature, diversified family farm offering enough activities—corn maze, straw-bale maze, petting zoo, haunted trail, pumpkin picking, gift shop, and picnic grounds—to sustain a multi-hour visit. The farm’s 60+ year track record and three-generation operation suggest well-established infrastructure and practices, which matters when you are relying on a single venue for a complex outing.

Daily operation and scheduling flexibility

The farm operates daily 9am to 5pm September 1 through October 31, with no weekend-only closures. This is a major advantage for working parents and weekday visitors. You are not confined to Saturday or Sunday; any weekday afternoon works equally well.

The activity bundle

Unlike farms that focus on a single attraction, Loblolly Acres offers a buffet: two mazes (corn and straw-bale), a petting zoo, a haunted trail, picking, and a picnic area. For extended-family outings or groups, this variety matters. The trade-off is that you need to confirm pricing—whether admission covers everything or if activities are a la carte.

The haunted trail detail

The farm’s haunted trail is a featured attraction, but darkness and fright themes are not suitable for all children. Call (302) 284-9255 before your visit to ask whether your kids’ ages align with the trail’s design.

No online pricing

The farm has no website and minimal digital footprint, which is typical of older, established family operations. Call (302) 284-9255 to ask for a complete cost breakdown: admission, pumpkin pricing, any activity fees, and payment methods accepted.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

September 1 through October 31, 2026, daily 9am–5pm. The open schedule with no weekend-only restriction is a practical advantage for working families. Weekday visits in September or late October should be quieter than October weekends.

How long to budget

Three to four hours for mazes, petting zoo, and pumpkin picking. Longer if you add the haunted trail or linger in the gift shop.

Crowds

A 60+ year farm with mazes, a petting zoo, and picnic grounds has the capacity to handle crowds. Early September or late October weekdays should be quietest; October weekends busier.

Parking

Not published. Standard farm lot; assume soft ground after fall rain, typical for Kent County farms.

Strollers and accessibility

Not published online. The corn maze, straw-bale maze, haunted trail, and petting zoo may not all be ADA-accessible. Call (302) 284-9255 to confirm which attractions have accessible routes.

What to bring

  • Closed shoes for mazes and petting zoo
  • Layers and a jacket for September and October weather
  • A card for admission and add-on purchases (gift shop, food if available)
  • Cash if the farm does not take cards (call ahead to confirm payment methods)

How to spend less here

  • No pricing is available online. Call (302) 284-9255 to ask: Is there a single admission that covers all activities, or does each (maze, petting zoo, haunted trail, picking) have separate charges? Are pumpkins priced by weight or per item? This call takes five minutes and removes all uncertainty.
  • The picnic area suggests you can bring food; if the farm allows outside food, bringing a lunch keeps costs lower than relying on on-site food (if available).

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families who value a high-activity experience with multiple attractions bundled together — mazes, petting zoo, haunted trail, and picking in one location
  • Kids ages 4-12 — the straw-bale maze and haunted trail are scaled for that range
  • Extended-family or group visits — the farm supports picnic areas and substantial activity variety for 5-10 person outings
  • Weekday visitors — daily 9am–5pm operation without weekend closures is a big advantage for working families

Skip it if

You cannot accept not knowing the price in advance. The farm has no website and minimal online presence; call (302) 284-9255 to ask about admission, pumpkin pricing, and any add-on costs. Also reconsider if a haunted trail is a dealbreaker for your kids — it is a featured attraction, but the farm's darkness and fright theme may not suit younger or more sensitive children.
