The $8 Friday daytime rate against a $15 standard gate is the best-value slot at any Lancaster County corn maze we have costed, and Friday and Saturday nights run to 10:00pm with the after-dark maze included rather than sold as a separate flashlight ticket.
Gate admission $15 per person ages 3-64, $13 for ages 65 and over, $14 per person for groups of 15 or more. A discounted Friday rate of $8 per person applies 10:00am-4:00pm only.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $32.00 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.
Start with the number that matters. Standard admission is $15 for anyone aged 3 to 64. On a Friday between 10:00am and 4:00pm it is $8. That is not a token discount; it is close to half, and it applies to the same maze, the same wagon ride and the same everything else.
Two adults and two school-age children pay $60 at the standard gate. The same family on a Friday morning pays $32. Twenty-eight dollars saved, and the Friday daytime crowd at any Lancaster County farm is a fraction of the Saturday one. If you have any flexibility about which day you go — a school holiday, a day off, a home-schooling week — this is the easiest saving in the county.
The catch is only that the $8 window closes at 4:00pm. Fridays themselves run to 10:00pm, so an evening Friday arrival pays the full $15.
This is the other structural thing in the farm’s favour. Plenty of farms sell a low entry price and then charge for the wagon ride, the train, the slide and the maze separately, which is how a $12 family outing becomes an $80 one. Here the twelve-acre maze, the wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch, the barrel train, the jump pad, the pedal tractors and trikes, the tire pull, skee-ball, Jumbo Jenga, corn hole, the yard games and the playgrounds are all inside the ticket.
That makes the day’s cost predictable in a way it rarely is. Once you are through the gate, the only meaningful spending left is food, the ice cream shop and the pumpkin itself. For a family that hates being nickel-and-dimed in front of their children, that is worth something on its own.
Friday and Saturday nights run until 10:00pm. Doing a twelve-acre corn maze in the dark is one of the better fall experiences available in Pennsylvania, and at a lot of farms it is sold as a separate flashlight event at an additional price. Here it sits inside the same admission.
Take the cold seriously. Late October after dark in Lancaster County is genuinely chilly, and a maze is slow, stop-start walking rather than the kind that keeps you warm. Layers, not one jacket, and a hat for the children. Bring a torch or make sure phones are charged.
It is also worth being blunt about who this suits. A twelve-year-old will love it. A four-year-old will be cold, will not enjoy being lost, and will want to leave twenty minutes in — and you will still be twenty minutes from the exit.
Last admission is one hour before closing, published clearly, and applied every day. On a Sunday closing at 6:00pm that means being at the gate by 5:00pm. On a Friday or Saturday running to 10:00pm it means 9:00pm.
The version most likely to go wrong is October 31. The season finale is a Saturday, but unlike every other Saturday it closes at 6:00pm rather than 10:00pm. A family who has been before on a normal Saturday, and rolls up at 7:00pm on Halloween expecting the night maze, will find the place shut. Note it now.
The Oregon Dairy name attaches to a well-known market and restaurant on Oregon Pike. The corn maze is not there. It is on Creek Road, a separate site, and the fall page that carries all the dates and prices does not carry an address at all. Put the maze address into the satnav specifically, and if you are meeting other people, make sure they have the same one.
The farmstead pages also list no phone number, so questions have to go through the site rather than a quick call — worth allowing for if you need an answer about ground conditions or accessibility before travelling.
Ranked by value: Friday daytime first, comfortably. Then Friday or Saturday evening if the night maze is the goal. Then Sunday or Columbus Day, which close at 6:00pm and so run shorter than they look. Saturday daytime is the default choice and therefore the busiest, at full price, with nothing the other slots do not offer.
Friday between 10:00am and 4:00pm, at $8 per person instead of $15. That window is roughly half price and sits on the quietest of the three operating days. If you want the maze after dark instead, Friday and Saturday nights run to 10:00pm, with last admission at 9:00pm. The season opens the weekend of September 12 and 13, runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from September 18 to October 30, adds Columbus Day Monday October 12, and finishes on Saturday October 31 — which closes at 6:00pm, not 10:00pm.
Two to three hours for the maze and the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch, longer if the children settle into the jump pad and the yard games. A twelve-acre maze can absorb an hour on its own if you take it seriously.
Three operating days a week across seven weeks makes for a compressed season, and Saturdays carry the load. Friday daytime is both the cheapest and the thinnest slot by a distance. Sunday closes at 6:00pm, so it runs shorter than it looks.
Not published. Assume field or gravel parking on a working Lancaster County farm and expect it soft after October rain.
Not published. A twelve-acre corn maze and a wagon ride into a pumpkin field are field-based by nature; the games and playground areas will be the easier ground. The farmstead pages carried no phone number, so ask through the site if this decides the trip.
You are a late arriver. Last admission is one hour before closing and it is published, so a 5:30pm arrival on a Sunday buys you nothing. Skip the night maze with young children too — twelve acres of corn in the dark in late October is cold and genuinely disorienting, which is the point.
Lititz borough is a short drive and has one of the more walkable centres in Lancaster County, which pairs neatly with a Friday daytime visit that finishes by four.
Gate admission is $15 per person for ages 3 to 64 and $13 for ages 65 and over. Groups of 15 or more pay $14 each. A discounted Friday rate of $8 per person applies between 10:00am and 4:00pm only.
Friday and Saturday nights run to 10:00pm and the maze after dark is covered by normal admission rather than a separate flashlight ticket. Last admission is 9:00pm on those nights.
One hour before closing, every day. That means 9:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 5:00pm on Sundays, Columbus Day and October 31.
No, and this catches people out. The maze site is on Creek Road in Lititz, while the well-known Oregon Dairy market and restaurant sit separately on Oregon Pike. Navigate to Creek Road.
