One of the longest fall seasons in the Finger Lakes — ten weeks of Friday-to-Sunday opening from sunflowers in August to Halloween — but the only prices it publishes are promotional ones, so the real gate rate is a guess.
The pricing page shows a Fall Festival Flash Sale Pass at $11.95, reduced from a listed $20.95, and a 2026 Season Pass at $39.95, reduced from $46.95. Standard single-day gate pricing is not shown. Admission required for ages 3-79; under 2 free and 80+ free.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $47.80 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.
Ten weeks is a long fall season by any standard, and it changes how you should think about this farm. August 21 to October 31, Fridays through Sundays, 10am to 6pm — that is over thirty operating days, against the twelve or so that weekends-only October farms manage. You are not fighting for a slot; you are choosing one.
The season also splits in two. The early half is the Sunflower Fest, which needs warm weather and an August or early-September date to work. The later half is apples, pumpkins and the corn maze. Both halves come with the same twenty-plus attractions, farm animals, cider and donuts, but if sunflowers are what you pictured, October is too late.
This is the one thing to go in aware of. The farm’s pricing page shows a Fall Festival Flash Sale Pass at $11.95, marked down from a listed $20.95, and a 2026 season pass at $39.95, marked down from $46.95. What it does not show is a standard single-day price. So the honest read is that a normal ticket probably sits around that $20.95 list figure, and the $11.95 is a promotion that may or may not be live when you book. Budget for the higher number and treat anything less as a win.
If the $20.95 list price is roughly right, the season pass logic is strong. Two visits cover it, and with a ten-week window spanning sunflowers at one end and Halloween at the other, two visits is a normal amount for a local family rather than an ambitious one.
One age quirk worth flagging: admission is required for ages 3 through 79. Free for under-2s is standard across the region; free from 80 is not, and it is the kind of policy gate staff apply when asked rather than when guessed. If a great-grandparent is coming, say so at the window.
The maze is cut into a real Ontario County corn field and the produce is grown here, which is the whole appeal — and also the constraint. Autumn rain leaves a working farm soft underfoot, and the parking arrangement is not published, so assume grass and dress accordingly.
One traffic note specific to this address: the farm sits on Routes 5 and 20, a corridor that carries a lot of leaf-peeping traffic through October weekends. A Friday visit dodges both the queue at the gate and the queue to get there.
The 2026 season runs August 21 through October 31, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 6pm. That long window is the point: an August or early-September visit gets the Sunflower Fest in warm weather with light to spare, while October gets apples, pumpkins and the corn maze. Fridays should be the quietest of the three days. By the end of October the 6pm close arrives at dusk, so the last hour is a different experience from the same hour in August.
Three to four hours. The farm advertises more than twenty attractions alongside the pumpkin patch, apple picking and corn maze, and a season pass only makes sense if you are the kind of visitor who uses them.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday only, so the season concentrates into three days a week. Peak foliage weekends in October put heavy traffic on Routes 5 and 20, which is the road the farm sits on.
Not published. A working farm on Routes 5 and 20 will park visitors on grass or gravel, so soft ground after autumn rain is the reasonable expectation.
You need to know the price before you commit. The published figures are a flash-sale pass and a season pass, both shown as discounts against higher list prices, and no standard single-day gate rate appears at all. Skip it too if Monday to Thursday are your only free days.
The farm does not publish a standard single-day gate price. Its pricing page shows a Fall Festival Flash Sale Pass at $11.95 against a listed $20.95, and a 2026 season pass at $39.95 against a listed $46.95. Admission is required for ages 3 to 79; under-2s and 80-plus are free.
August 21 through October 31, 2026, Friday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm.
They are the same site across a long season. The Sunflower Fest belongs to the earlier, warmer end of the calendar; pumpkins and apples belong to the October end. If sunflowers are the reason for the trip, do not leave it until October.

2205 Routes 5 & 20, Stanley, NY 14561, in Ontario County. It is one of 5 patches we track in Finger Lakes.
We track 5 patches in Finger Lakes, 1 of which are free to walk into. At $11.95 a head this one sits below the regional median of $15, undercutting 3 of the 4 paid patches we track here.
Its season runs about 72 days against a regional average of 55, so it is a notably longer window than most of its neighbours, which takes the pressure off picking a weekend.
What sets it apart locally: it has farm animals, which most Finger Lakes patches on our list do not.
