A school-tour operation that also welcomes families, with an educational focus and a bundled experience where each child gets a pumpkin and snack — but limited weekend hours (Thursday-Friday only 1pm to 4pm) and no published pricing means planning requires a phone call.
Motley’s Pumpkin Patch is designed first for school groups, second for families. That ordering shapes the experience. The tour format — hayride, farm zoo, pig races, pumpkin patch visit, plus snack and educational talk — is bundled and efficient rather than open-ended. Each child goes home with a small pumpkin and pumpkin juice, which is a nice touch for children but potentially underwhelming for families expecting to cut a full-size pumpkin themselves.
The limited weekend hours reflect that school-tour focus. Thursday and Friday operate 1pm to 4pm only, which is barely an afternoon window and rules out any morning visit. Saturday and Sunday expand to 9am to 5pm, giving you realistic flexibility.
Pig races are mentioned as a frequent highlight by visitors. The exact mechanics — whether it’s trained racing pigs, a timed event, scheduled performances — are not detailed in available sources. If your children are animal-focused or competitive by nature, this activity may be the deciding factor. Call to understand the format.
The farm is marketed as an educational experience, with scripted elements around the farm zoo and pumpkin patch visit. This is not a drop-in property where you wander freely and make your own decisions. That structure can be an advantage (less decision fatigue for young kids) or a constraint (less time for the activities you actually care about).
The farm is 20 minutes from downtown Little Rock, which makes it accessible for families in the city. That is shorter than a drive to Springdale or Fayetteville.
Each child gets a small pumpkin and pumpkin juice as part of the experience. That is charming but not the same as having each family select and cut their own full-size pumpkin. If pumpkin picking is the primary goal, ask during your phone call whether you can upgrade or add that activity.

September 15 through October 31, 2026. The farm operates Thursday-Friday 1pm to 4pm and Saturday-Sunday 9am to 5pm, with the caveat that Saturday and Sunday offer much longer usable windows. Thursday and Friday 1pm starts work only if you can visit mid-afternoon; they do not support a morning visit. October is peak season; early September may have lighter inventory.
Two to three hours, particularly on Saturday-Sunday when longer hours give you flexibility. Thursday-Friday's 1pm to 4pm window is restrictive — you have barely three hours of daylight for a hayride, farm zoo, pig races, and pumpkin patch visit.
Limited weekend hours (only Thursday-Friday afternoons plus Saturday-Sunday full days) mean concentration on Saturday-Sunday. The educational school-tour positioning suggests the farm caters more to groups than walk-up families, which may mean off-peak Sundays are quieter.
Not specified. Assume unpaved farm parking typical of Little Rock-area farms.
Not specified. Call (501) 888-1129 for accessibility details.
You can only visit on weekday mornings. The farm does not open Thursday-Friday until 1pm. If you need a morning departure or a full-day activity, Saturday-Sunday access is essential.
The farm does not publish rates in visible sources. Call (501) 888-1129 to ask current 2026 pricing. Each child receives a small pumpkin and pumpkin juice snack, but it is unclear if this is included in admission.
The tour format (hayride, farm zoo, pig races, pumpkin patch, snack, talk) is designed for school groups, so plan 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Saturday-Sunday's longer hours give more flexibility than Thursday-Friday's 1pm to 4pm window.
Not detailed in available sources, but they are mentioned frequently as a highlight. Call the farm for specifics on schedule and how the races are structured.
