A large, maze-heavy farm with a split season: the corn maze runs all fall, but the pumpkin patch does not open until late September, and specific admission prices are not published.
Farm pass model; pumpkin picking available for additional charge
Pineland Farms is genuinely two separate experiences layered onto one property, and knowing which season applies to your visit matters.
The corn maze is a 5-acre attraction with a trivia-card navigation system — visitors use cards to answer questions that guide the route through the maze. This runs daily from August 27 through November 1. The pumpkin patch, however, does not open until September 26, so a late-August visit will not include pumpkin picking.
The farm is built on the Pineland estate, a 5000-acre former hospital campus now converted to agriculture and recreation, so the property itself is the backdrop to the fall attractions. The farmyard tour is included with admission.
If both the maze and pumpkins are on your agenda, plan for late September or later. The maze opens nearly a month before the pumpkins do, which is unusual for Maine farms — most operate a unified fall season. The advantage is that maze devotees can visit early in August, but anyone wanting the full farm experience needs to wait for late September.
Corn Maze Nights are a specific draw at Pineland: select October evenings with flashlights and adult supervision required. These are not offered every night, so contact the farm at 207-650-3031 to confirm dates if that is the main draw. They do give a genuinely different experience than daytime navigation.
Pineland uses a farm pass admission model, separate from the cost of pumpkin picking. No figures are published on the website, so a call to 207-650-3031 is necessary to budget for the day. Hours are not published either, so confirm operating times when you call about pricing.
The farm’s location on the Greater Portland outskirts means October traffic from leaf-peeping tourism is plausible on weekends. Weekday visits will be quieter if your schedule allows.
The corn maze runs daily from August 27 through November 1, 2026. The pumpkin patch opens later, on September 26. For a full experience with both maze and pumpkins, visit October or early November when both are running. The maze is available for nighttime visits on select October evenings with flashlights.
Two to three hours for the maze and farmyard tour; add another hour if you are picking pumpkins from the patch. The 5000-acre Pineland property has much else beyond the fall attractions, but the fall activities themselves fit a half-day visit.
Daily operations mean crowds are spread across the week, but October weekends in Maine draw statewide fall traffic. Weekday visits in October and early November typically see lighter crowds than weekends.
Not published. Assume field or lot parking on Pineland's 5000-acre property; bring closed shoes for any maze walking.
