McCall’s Pumpkin Patch is not a new venture — it is in its 29th season in 2026, which means this is an operation with real institutional knowledge about managing crowds, activities, and a long fall schedule. The farm sits east of Albuquerque in Moriarty, and it is built for families who want multiple attractions under one roof.
The maze is the signature draw. Sixteen acres is large enough that you cannot see the entire layout, so it is genuinely challenging and not just a fidget. Hayrides, a petting zoo with an animal barn, and pumpkin picking round out the core activities, which is the standard farm package done at scale. Plan for two to three hours on the maze alone, plus another hour or two for the other activities if your group includes young children (the petting zoo is a big time sink, in a good way).
The Haunted Farm runs Friday and Saturday evenings September 25 through October 31. This is a separate, spooky experience and almost certainly a separate admission — a common way farms extend the season and capture the 14+ crowd looking for Halloween thrills. If your crew is interested, ask about age recommendations and whether it is priced as an add-on to a daytime ticket or a standalone evening event.
The farm opens September 19 and runs through October 31. Most days it is Saturday and Sunday only, but Friday is available October 9, 16, 23, and 30. Saturday and Sunday hours are 10am–6pm (Saturday) and 12pm–6pm (Sunday), while Friday is noon–6pm. Saturday morning is the longest available window if you are planning a daytime visit. Thursday is not available at all, which matters if you are working your way through a field trip or a weekend backup plan.
Moriarty sits in central New Mexico at roughly 5,500 feet — higher than Albuquerque, which means it cools earlier and faster in fall. Early September can still be warm, but by October, evenings are noticeably chilly. Bring layers and plan for the sun; desert sun at elevation is real even in fall.
Moriarty is about 40 minutes east of Albuquerque on I-40. Parking and facilities are not published, but assume field parking on gravel or dirt and standard farm restrooms. The farm’s address is 2 McCall Lane.
McCall’s is a reliable, multi-activity destination with a long track record and a strong maze as the anchor. The missing piece — exact pricing — is frustrating, but a quick call to the farm or a look at their booking page will resolve it. If you are planning a full day and have access to a car, this farm delivers on scale and variety.
Open September 19 to October 31, 2026. Weekends are busiest and most accessible for families with kids; Fridays Oct 9, 16, 23, and 30 offer weekend intensity with slightly more planning. The Haunted Farm runs Friday and Saturday nights Sept 25–Oct 31, so plan around your comfort with that level of spooky. Early October (late September post-opening, through mid-October) is the sweet spot before Halloween crowding.
Four to six hours for the full farm experience. The 16-acre maze alone can eat two hours, hayrides are a separate draw, and the petting zoo slows down everyone with young children. The Haunted Farm is an evening-only event running 12pm–6pm (daytime), evenings for horror.
Operating only weekends and select Fridays means tighter scheduling for groups, but also concentrated demand. The Haunted Farm nights (Fri/Sat Sept 25–Oct 31) will draw a different, older crowd than the daytime family hours.
Not published. Assume field parking on gravel or dirt, standard for rural farms in Torrance County. Bring boots if the ground is wet.
