One of the easiest Triangle patches to reach and therefore one of the busiest, sold by timed ticket - but as of August 2026 the farm was still showing admission as TBD for every slot, so there is no price to plan around.
The farm's pumpkin page listed admission as 'TBD per person' for every time slot when read in August 2026, so no price is recorded here. Children under 2 are free and seniors 65+ and military get $1.00 off admission. Tickets are sold online through TicketSpice; paying on site by card adds a 3.5% fee. Pumpkins are sold separately from admission.
The most useful thing about Page Farms is where it is. A pumpkin patch a few minutes from RDU on the north-west edge of Raleigh removes the forty-minute drive that most Triangle families accept as the price of a farm afternoon. If you live in Brier Creek or Morrisville, this is a school-run-length trip.
That convenience is also the reason to think carefully about when you go. Every other family in north Raleigh has done the same arithmetic.
Closed Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9am to 1pm. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 6pm. And on every day, no admissions after 5pm.
Read that again if you were planning a midweek visit, because the midweek day is four hours long and it ends at lunchtime. A family arriving at 12.30 on a Wednesday in October has thirty minutes. This is the single most likely way to waste a trip here, and it is not signposted in the way that a normal closing time would be.
The 5pm admissions cutoff on the long days is the smaller version of the same trap: the farm is open until 6pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but you cannot get in for the last hour.
When we read the farm’s pumpkin page in August 2026, admission was shown as TBD per person for every time slot. That is honest of the farm - better than a stale figure from last year - but it leaves this page unable to do the thing it most wants to do, which is tell you what a Saturday costs a family of four.
What we can tell you is the structure. Tickets are timed and sold through TicketSpice. Children under 2 are free. Seniors 65 and over and military visitors get $1.00 off, which is a real discount but a token one. Pumpkins are not included. And paying by card at the farm adds a 3.5% surcharge, which on an $80 family total would be $2.80 - trivial in isolation, but it is a fee you can simply not pay by booking online first.
Before you commit a Saturday, open the booking flow and look at the number. It takes two minutes and it is the only unknown that matters.
Selling by time slot is a real improvement on a first-come queue. It spreads arrivals, it stops the 11am crush, and it means you know you are getting in.
It does not thin out the field. At a farm this close to Raleigh in mid-October, the corn maze and the hayride will have a queue at midday on a Saturday regardless of how orderly the entry was. If crowds are the thing you are optimising against, the answer here is a weekday morning or the first Friday of the season, not a well-chosen Saturday slot.
No pets are allowed. And the farm’s old domain, pagefarms.com, now redirects to a for-sale page - the live site is pagefarmsraleigh.com. If a search result or an old bookmark takes you somewhere that looks abandoned, that is why, and it is not a sign the farm has closed.
The farm has not published exact 2026 opening and closing dates; its page describes the season as late September through October. The weekly shape is published and it matters: closed Monday, Tuesday to Thursday 9am to 1pm, Friday to Sunday 9am to 6pm, with no admissions after 5pm on any day. A Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning is the quiet visit and the only genuinely uncrowded option, but you have four hours to use it in. Friday morning is the best compromise - full-length day, weekend attractions, and the Triangle has not arrived yet.
Two to two and a half hours. Corn maze, hayride, playground, cow train and farm animals is a solid but not enormous list, and a midweek visitor closing at 1pm has to move through it briskly.
Proximity to Raleigh is this farm's biggest asset and its biggest problem. A patch on the north-west edge of the city, close to RDU, draws the whole north Triangle on an October weekend. Timed ticketing spreads arrivals, which helps, but it does not reduce the number of people in the field at 1pm on a Saturday.
Not published. Mount Herman Road is on the developed north-west fringe of Raleigh rather than deep countryside, but this is still a working farm, so plan for grass or gravel and soft ground for several days after heavy autumn rain.
Not addressed. A hayride involves a step up, a corn maze is furrowed dirt, and the pumpkin field is uneven. No phone number appears on the farm's own page, so the website or the ticketing flow is the only route for a question in advance.
You need a firm budget. Admission showed as TBD per person on every time slot when we read the page in August 2026, so there is no figure to work from. Skip a Tuesday-to-Thursday afternoon too, because the farm shuts at 1pm on those days. And skip it if you were bringing a dog - no pets are allowed.
It sits near RDU on the north-west edge of Raleigh, which puts it within easy reach of Morrisville, Brier Creek and Durham as well as the city itself. That convenience is the main reason to choose it over farms further out in Franklin or Lee County.
We could not record a figure. The farm's own pumpkin page showed admission as TBD per person for every time slot when read in August 2026. Children under 2 are free, and seniors 65 and over and military get $1.00 off.
Closed Monday. Tuesday to Thursday 9am to 1pm, Friday to Sunday 9am to 6pm, across a late-September-through-October season. No admissions are taken after 5pm, so the last usable entry on a long day is 5pm and on a short day is 1pm.
Tickets are sold by time slot through TicketSpice and booking ahead is the norm. It also avoids the 3.5% fee added to card payments made at the farm.
No. Admission covers the corn maze, hayride, playground, cow train and farm animals. Pumpkins are priced separately.
