A thirteen-day, weekends-only season at $15 a head with unusually generous senior, military and first-responder discounts — good value for a multi-generational group, tight on dates for everyone else.
General admission $15 for ages 3 and up. Seniors 65+ $10. Active military, veterans and first responders $10 with ID. Children under 2 free.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 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.
Pumpkintown’s whole season is thirteen days. September 19 to October 31, Saturdays and Sundays, 10am to 6pm — that is the entire 2026 calendar, and it is the first thing to plan around. A weekends-only farm has no pressure valve: everyone who wants to come in a six-week window arrives on the same handful of mornings, and a rained-out Saturday does not simply move to Tuesday.
Fifteen dollars for ages three and up is mid-range for a farm with this much on it — corn maze, hay rides, a giant slide, pony rides, a petting zoo, a pumpkin jump pad, face painting, gem mining and a food shack doing cider and donuts. What makes it stand out is the discount structure. Seniors 65 and over pay $10. Active military, veterans and first responders pay $10 with ID. Under-2s are free.
Run that through a real group and the difference shows: two parents, two school-age kids and two grandparents is $80 here rather than the $90 the headline rate implies, and that is before anyone considers that the same six people at a $20-a-head farm would be $120. If you are organising the kind of trip where three generations turn up in two cars, this is a sensible choice.
The gap in the published information is what the $15 actually buys. The farm lists ten attractions and one price, but does not spell out which are included. Pony rides, gem mining and face painting are the three most commonly charged separately at farms that offer them, so confirm at the gate rather than after a child has already been promised.
This is western New York, so the corn in the maze grew there and the pumpkins in the field grew there too. What that buys you is authenticity and what it costs you is control: a wet week turns a pumpkin field into a boot-required proposition, and the maze is at the mercy of the same weather.
The seasonal arc matters more than people expect. A mid-September Saturday afternoon here is short-sleeve weather with hours of daylight to spare. By the Halloween weekend, the 6pm close is essentially closing at dark, and the last hour of the day is cold enough that thin jackets stop working. The same ticket buys a noticeably different day depending on which of the twelve you choose.
With thirteen operating days in the year, treat your first-choice date as provisional. If a Saturday looks wet, move to the Sunday rather than pushing a week — a pumpkin field drains slowly in October, and every weekend you defer takes you closer to the end of the calendar with fewer fallbacks left. Families who hold out for the Halloween weekend because it feels like the right moment are choosing the busiest, coldest and darkest two days the farm operates.
The farm’s mailing address is Jamestown, but the property sits in the town of Busti, and at least one regional directory lists it that way with a different phone number attached. Enter 3435 Baker Street Extension and ignore the town name argument.
The 2026 season runs September 19 through October 31, Saturdays and Sundays only, 10am to 6pm. That is thirteen operating days in the whole year, so pick early rather than late: late-September and early-October weekends give you warmer afternoons and a full eight hours of usable daylight, while by the Halloween weekend the 6pm close lands essentially at dark. Arriving at the 10am open is the standard advice and it holds here — a weekends-only farm concentrates its entire year into a handful of Saturday middays.
Three to four hours. With a corn maze, hay rides, a giant slide, pony rides, a petting zoo, a jump pad and gem mining on site, a family that leaves after 90 minutes has paid $15 a head for a fraction of it.
Weekends-only scheduling means every visitor in a six-week season arrives on the same thirteen days. The October weekends immediately before Halloween are predictably the peak; mid-morning on a September Sunday is the softest slot on the calendar.
Not published. Farms in this part of western New York generally park visitors on grass or a field, which becomes a problem after autumn rain rather than during it.
No accessibility information is published. A working pumpkin field, a corn maze and a hay ride are uneven-ground activities by nature, so a small-wheeled stroller will struggle even in good conditions.
Your only free days are weekdays. The farm does not open Monday to Friday at all, so there is no quiet-day option here. Skip it too if you want a long unhurried season — thirteen operating days is a narrow window to work around weather.
General admission is $15 for ages 3 and up. Seniors 65 and over pay $10, as do active military, veterans and first responders with ID. Children under 2 are free.
Saturdays and Sundays only, from September 19 through October 31, 2026, 10am to 6pm. There are no weekday hours.
Both, in a sense. The site sits in the town of Busti in Chautauqua County but carries a Jamestown postal address at 3435 Baker Street Extension. If your navigation app disagrees with a directory listing, trust the street address.
