A Friday-and-Saturday-night haunt rather than a pumpkin patch — no pumpkins are listed among the attractions, prices are not published anywhere, and the whole thing runs after dark, so bring older kids or none.
Ticket prices are not published on the operator's site.
The most useful correction we can offer about Newberry’s Cornfield Maze is a category one. It gets listed alongside pumpkin patches, and it is not one. The published attraction list is a corn maze, a haunted corn maze, a haunted house, a haunted hayride, a mechanical zombie bull and human hamster balls. Nothing about pumpkins. Nothing that opens before 5pm. If you arrive expecting a family farm with a wagon ride and a photo bale, you have made a two-hour mistake and brought children to a haunt.
Understood as what it is — a seasonal night attraction in rural Alachua County — it looks well suited to the audience it wants. Six hours a night, twice a week, with enough separate attractions that a group can spread out and rotate.
September 18 to October 24, Fridays and Saturdays. That is eleven nights. Most Florida fall venues at least pad their season with Sundays or weekday evenings; this one does not, and the consequence is predictable: demand for a whole county compresses into a small number of evenings, and the October ones will be worse than the September ones. If your schedule has any give in it, use it early.
Worth saying plainly, because it cuts against what we tell visitors about most Florida fall attractions. Florida cannot grow a commercial fall pumpkin crop, which is why the pumpkins at nearly every patch in the state are trucked in and arranged. A corn maze is a different proposition — Alachua County grows corn, and a maze cut into a standing field is a real thing rather than a staged one. We have not confirmed how this particular maze is planted, but the usual Florida caveat about imported produce does not obviously apply to a maze.
Prices. The operator does not publish them, and neither does anyone else we could read. That is a real problem for planning, because the difference between one wristband covering everything and six attractions ticketed individually is the difference between a twenty-dollar night and a sixty-dollar one per person. Phone before you drive.
Two other practical unknowns: how parking is arranged, and whether the venue takes cards. Rural maze operations in North Florida generally park on grass and have historically been cash-friendly rather than cash-only, but we are inferring both. Bring cash as insurance and wear shoes you can lose to mud.
Early in the run and early in the evening. The season is Sept 18 to Oct 24, 2026, Fridays and Saturdays only, 5pm to 11pm — that is eleven operating nights for the entire year, and the ones closest to Halloween will be the most crowded. A September Friday at 6pm gets you the shortest queues and, in North Florida, still enough residual daylight to see where you are walking on the way in.
Two to three hours if you do the maze, the haunted house and the hayride. Queueing, not walking, is what will consume the evening on a busy night.
Eleven nights total, all of them Friday or Saturday, is about as concentrated as a season gets. Demand has nowhere else to go. Expect the two October weekends before closing to be the heaviest, and expect the popular haunts to bottleneck between roughly 8pm and 10pm.
Not published. Corn maze operations in rural Alachua County are almost always parked on grass or a field edge — a safe assumption here, though we have not confirmed it. Field parking after rain means mud, and you will be walking to your car in the dark.
You have young children, or you came for a pumpkin. Neither is served here. The attraction list is a corn maze, a haunted corn maze, a haunted house, a haunted hayride, a mechanical bull and hamster balls — this is a scare venue that happens to have a maze in it, not a family patch. Also skip it if you need to know the cost before you commit.
The Bryer Patch Farm is also in Newberry and runs a daytime weekend operation with a pumpkin patch, hayride and animals. The two are close to opposites in audience and timing, which makes them a genuine same-day pair: young children in the afternoon at one, teenagers after dark at the other.
The operator does not publish ticket prices on its own site, and we have not been able to confirm them elsewhere. Phone ahead. That also means we cannot tell you whether the haunted house and hayride are included or charged separately, which is the difference between a cheap night and an expensive one.
None is listed among the attractions. If a pumpkin is the object of the trip, this is the wrong venue.
September 18 through October 24, 2026, Fridays and Saturdays only, 5pm to 11pm. Older directory listings show a wider schedule including Sundays, but those are from previous years — the operator's own 2026 calendar is the one to trust.
September 18 – October 24, 2026. Fridays and Saturdays. Hours: 5pm-11pm.

20015 West Newberry Road, Newberry, FL 32669, in Alachua County. It is one of 15 patches we track in North Florida.
We track 15 patches in North Florida, 2 of which are free to walk into. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
Its season runs about 37 days against a regional average of 31, so it is broadly in line with the rest of the region.
What sets it apart locally: it has an after-dark attraction, which most North Florida patches on our list do not.
