A ticketed festival with an unusually broad activity list and an unusually long season, but it runs Monday to Saturday with no Sundays, and the price only exists inside an off-site ticketing portal.
Fall festival entry is ticketed through the farm's online ticketing portal and no price is printed on postfamilyfarm.com. Apple cannons (Saturdays) and pony rides carry an additional fee on top of the ticket.
Post Family Farm does two things differently from most West Michigan fall farms, and both are worth knowing before you plan around it.
The festivals run Monday through Saturday from September 12 to November 7, 2026. Sunday is not a festival day. In a region where the Sunday afternoon farm visit is close to a default, that is a genuine trap — the sort of thing a family discovers in the car. It also means Saturday absorbs all the weekend demand on its own.
The other end of the calendar is more generous than usual. November 7 is a week past Halloween, and most Michigan farms have packed up by then. What the farm does not say is what is still running in that last week. Corn mazes here come down when the crop and the frosts say so, and the pumpkin patch often outlasts the maze. If a November visit is the plan, ask specifically which attractions are still open rather than whether the farm is.
There is no ticket price on the farm’s website. Sales run through a linked external ticketing portal, and the number only surfaces once you pick a date and start a booking. That is a common enough pattern, and it is not dishonest, but it does make the farm impossible to compare on cost against a gated competitor without doing five minutes of work first.
Do that work before you drive. Hudsonville is a real journey from most of the region, and the whole point of a ticketed farm is that you commit up front.
Two attractions sit outside the ticket regardless of what it costs: the apple cannons, which only run on Saturdays, and pony rides. Those are both high-appeal items for exactly the age group the farm is built for, so treat the ticket as a floor rather than the price of the day. Daily hours are not published either, which is the second thing to confirm in the booking flow.
For a farm of this size, the list is unusually long and unusually physical. Zip lines, a giant straw climb, gravity hoops, giant gopher tunnels, gaga ball, cornhole and wagon ping pong sit alongside the standard wagon rides, corn maze, corn house, pumpkin corral and farm animals. There are bonfires, homemade pumpkin donuts and a set of photo spots.
That mix points squarely at children roughly four to twelve — old enough to climb and run at the physical attractions, young enough to be delighted by a hula pig. Toddlers get the animals, the corn house and the wagon rides, which is a smaller share of what you are paying for. Teenagers get the zip lines and the maze and will probably be finished sooner than the ticket justifies.
The practical implication of a ticket that buys everything is that a short visit is bad value. Budget three to four hours or accept that you are paying full price for a fraction of the site.
The farm also operates as a wedding venue and takes bonfire bookings, which means parts of the property can be given over to private events. Nothing in the record says how often that affects the public festival, but it is a reasonable question to ask when you confirm hours and price — particularly for a Saturday, which is both the busiest festival day and the likeliest wedding day.
The fall festivals run September 12 to November 7, 2026, Monday through Saturday. No Sunday, which inverts the normal West Michigan pattern and is the single most important planning fact here. Daily hours are not published on the farm's own pages, so confirm them in the ticketing flow before you set off. The November dates are the interesting ones: a season running a week past Halloween means late visits after the pumpkin rush has cleared, though what is still standing that late is not something the farm states.
Three to four hours. With zip lines, a straw climb, gopher tunnels, gaga ball, cornhole and wagon ping pong on the list alongside the patch and maze, a short visit leaves most of the ticket unused.
Eight weeks of operation across six days a week is a lot of capacity, which should spread demand better than a weekends-only farm. The concentration point is Saturday, the only weekend day available, and it is also the only day the apple cannons run — so Saturday carries both the family traffic and the one attraction that is exclusive to it.
Not published. Ottawa County farm parking is typically field or gravel, and Hudsonville sits in flat farmland that holds water, so expect soft ground after October rain.
Sunday is your only free day. The festival simply does not run then. Skip it too if you need a published price before committing — the farm prints no figures on its own site and sells through a linked external ticketing portal, so the only way to learn the cost is to start a booking.
The farm does not print a price on its own website. Tickets are sold through a linked external ticketing portal, and the figure only appears once you begin a booking. Apple cannons and pony rides cost extra on top of whatever the ticket is.
No. The 2026 fall festivals run Monday through Saturday, September 12 to November 7. That is unusual for West Michigan, where most farms treat Sunday as their busiest day, so do not assume it.
November 7, 2026, which is a week past Halloween. The farm does not say which attractions remain in that final week, and Michigan corn mazes are often cut once the crop and the weather are done, so ask before planning a November trip around the maze.
The published activity list covers zip lines, the corn maze, wagon rides, the giant straw climb, gravity hoops, farm animals, a corn house, the pumpkin corral, gaga ball, cornhole, giant gopher tunnels and wagon ping pong. Apple cannons and pony rides are flagged as carrying an added fee.
September 12 – November 7, 2026. Monday to Saturday during the fall festival season. Hours: Not published on the farm's own site for the 2026 fall festivals. Summer donut hours were listed as 7:30am-12:00pm on select dates before the festivals begin..
