A well-established Lakes Region destination with confirmed 2026 dates, a 4-acre maze, pick-your-own pumpkins, and strong amenities including a farm bakery and doughnut stand.
Adults $12, children 3-6 $6, under 3 free. Maze admission closes 1 hour before farm closing.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $48.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Moulton Farm is a working farm that uses its own space for both a commercial corn maze and a pick-your-own pumpkin field. The 4-acre maze is the main draw—it’s sizable enough to be a genuine puzzle rather than a quick walk, which makes it a solid fit for kids age 6 and up. Younger children may feel lost or discouraged, and maze navigation typically takes 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the design and your group’s approach.
The farm also operates a farm bakery and “Cider Bellies” doughnut stand on-site, so food is available without leaving the property. Wagon rides and live music on select weekends add to the environment, though not every weekend includes these offerings—check the farm’s calendar or call ahead if those activities matter to your plan.
Admission is $12 per adult, $6 per child age 3–6, and free for children under 3. Note the age cutoff: a 7-year-old ages out of the $6 child rate and pays the full $12 adult price, so a family of two adults and two kids aged 4 and 7 pays $12 + $12 + $6 + $12 = $42 at the door for maze entry — not the $36 you’d get assuming both kids qualify for the discount. If you pick pumpkins, add the cost of the pumpkins themselves (not specified online, so ask at the ticket booth). Food from the bakery and doughnut stand is separate and unpriced in what’s published, so treat it as a flexible extra rather than a fixed line item.
Free admission for under-3s means toddlers can come along for the atmosphere and wagon rides without a gate fee, though the maze itself won’t be a hit with that age group.
The farm opens September 19 and operates 7 days a week, 8 AM–6 PM (with maze admission closing at 5 PM). The Lakes Region typically peaks in fall color during early-to-mid October, a full 1–2 weeks ahead of southern New Hampshire. That window is also when highway traffic into the region heaviest, especially on weekends.
Weekday mornings are your best bet if you want to avoid crowds and still enjoy peak color. By late October, the weather turns noticeably colder in the Lakes Region, and the maze may lose some appeal if you’re not dressed for it. Labor Day weekend has reduced hours (8 AM–5 PM), so if you’re thinking of that weekend, confirm details directly.
The farm notes its season extends beyond September and October, though end date was not published at the time we checked. If you’re planning an October 20+ visit, a quick call to 603-279-3915 or a check of moultonfarm.com will confirm whether the farm is still operating.
Maze admission closes 1 hour before the farm closes, so a 5 PM maze closing is the practical limit on most days. If you’re hoping for a relaxed 6 PM arrival, you’ll have only the pumpkin field and on-site food options available.
Start with the maze so your group has full energy; the pumpkin field is a lower-stakes activity that works better after the maze is done. If wagon rides are available that day, ask about timing so you can fit them in without doubling back. The farm’s website or a call to the farm can confirm that day’s activities. Bring comfortable shoes for the maze and wipes for pumpkin-picking dirt. If you’re sensitive to crowds, go on a weekday in September or the first week of October, when the weather is still warm enough to linger and the weekend traffic hasn’t peaked.
Weekday mornings in early-to-mid October, when the Lakes Region has peaked in color but before the heaviest weekend traffic arrives.
2.5 to 3.5 hours
Expect moderate weekday crowds and heavy weekend traffic, especially mid-to-late October during peak leaf season in the Lakes Region.
Farm parking available; expect to ask staff for lot details if full.
Contact the farm directly at 603-279-3915 to confirm wheelchair and mobility access to maze, pumpkin field, and food areas.
You have very young toddlers under 3 who need a short, focused outing—the maze and multiple activities are built for longer engagement.
Lake Winnipesaukee is 10 minutes away; combine a fall colors boat tour or waterfront walk with your maze visit for a full day.
The maze is a separate activity from the pick-your-own pumpkin field, so you can do either or both. Maze admission closes 1 hour before farm closing (at 5 PM on most days), so plan accordingly.
Labor Day has reduced hours (8 AM–5 PM instead of the usual 8 AM–6 PM), and the farm notes the dates separately, so it's worth confirming details if that weekend interests you.
This is a serious maze, not a toddler-sized path. Plan 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on your group's patience and the maze's design that year. Kids age 6+ typically enjoy it most.
Bring a picnic if you prefer—you'll enjoy it more than a pricey on-site meal. The farm bakery and doughnut stand are convenient add-ons, not replacements.
Opens September 19, 2026 (closing date not published). 7 days a week. Hours: 8 AM to 6 PM.
Admission starts at $12 per person. Adults $12, children 3-6 $6, under 3 free. Maze admission closes 1 hour before farm closing.
