Arkansas' most recognized pumpkin farm, nationally awarded and Travel Channel featured, with a unique night-opening format (7pm to 10pm) that includes extensive haunted attractions alongside family activities — a genuinely different experience, but one built around evening hours and Halloween-season intensity rather than a traditional pumpkin farm.
Adults and children 2+ admission $14 normally, $12 for birthday parties
Rough cost for a family of four: about $48.00 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.
Pumpkin Hollow is Arkansas’ most nationally recognized pumpkin farm, and its credentials are real: USA Today’s top pumpkin patch and Travel Channel’s top 15. Those accolades come with a caveat: this is not a traditional pumpkin farm. It is a haunted-attraction venue that also offers pumpkins.
The signature feature is the night opening. The farm opens at dark (approximately 7pm) with last admission at 10pm. That timing is intentional. The core attractions — Forest of Fright, Misery Manor, Zombie Paintball, Butcher Barn — are designed to operate in darkness and carry horror themes. The family activities (pumpkin patch, corn maze, pony rides) sit alongside those attractions, not at the center of them.
The farm runs four major haunted experiences that operate in darkness. Zombie Paintball and Butcher Barn are explicitly named; Forest of Fright and Misery Manor are implied to be full haunted houses. Whether these are bundled in the $14 admission or charged separately is not specified in available sources — that question alone is worth a phone call.
The horror level appears to be moderate rather than extreme gore, suitable for teenagers and older kids comfortable with atmospheric scares. Very young children (under 5) are unlikely to enjoy the environment. Ages 6 to 9 may manage some attractions and skip others.
The pumpkin patch, corn maze, pony rides, and farm market are available, but the farm’s positioning and national recognition are built on the haunted experience. If you want a relaxed pumpkin farm, this is not it.
Early September dates (September 19 to mid-September) will have only an hour or so of genuine darkness when the farm opens. Late October dates (late October on) will have darkness arriving by 6pm, so the farm’s full 7pm to 10pm window aligns with post-sunset hours. Mid-to-late October is when the experience is intended.
Seven days a week from September 19 to October 31 in a night-only format means weekend and late-October peak will be crowded. Weekday evenings in early October may offer shorter wait times.

September 19 through October 31, 2026, open seven days a week. The farm opens at dark (approximately 7pm) with last tickets sold at 10pm. The night-opening format is the signature draw — there is no daytime visit at Pumpkin Hollow. Peak season is mid-to-late October when haunted attractions run in full and the darkness arrives earlier. Early September dates will have minimal darkness, making the operation feel rushed. Plan for evening and post-dark hours.
Two to four hours, depending on which attractions you choose and crowd wait times. The farm offers both family activities (pumpkin patch, corn maze, pony rides) and elaborate haunted attractions (Forest of Fright, Misery Manor, Zombie Paintball, Butcher Barn). A family-focused visit could be 2 hours; a full haunted-attraction experience could stretch to 4 or more.
Seven operating days a week in a concentrated season (September 19 to October 31) with a night-only format means all visitor volume compresses into evening hours. Mid-October is peak, especially weekends. Weekday evenings in early-to-mid October may offer slightly lower wait times than weekend peak.
Not specified. Assume farm parking; call (870) 598-3568 to confirm.
The extensive haunted attractions and outdoor night terrain may present challenges. Call (870) 598-3568 to discuss accessibility options and any available accommodations.
You want a daytime pumpkin-picking experience. Pumpkin Hollow is night-only. You also want to skip this if young toddlers (under 5) are in your party, since the haunted-attraction environment and late hours do not suit them well.
The farm's core draw is elaborate haunted attractions that operate in darkness. The family activities (pumpkin patch, corn maze, pony rides) are secondary to the horror experience. This is not a traditional daytime pumpkin farm.
Admission is $14 per person (ages 2+), and that rate is not specified as including or excluding specific haunted attractions. Call (870) 598-3568 to ask whether Zombie Paintball and the individual haunted houses charge additional fees.
The haunted attractions include themes like a zombie apocalypse, a haunted manor, and a butcher barn. Children under 5 are likely to find it frightening. Ages 6 to 9 may enjoy milder portions and skip intense attractions. Ages 10+ can usually handle the full experience. Call the farm to discuss what your family is comfortable with.
The pumpkin patch and corn maze are available, and you can focus on those. However, the farm is optimized for the full haunted-attraction experience, so a family-only visit may feel secondary to the farm's core business.
