The most attraction-dense farm on our northwest Ohio list and one of the best-documented, with a $39 season pass that pays for itself on the third visit — but it opens weekends only, so ten Saturdays and Sundays is the entire season.
Online day pass $15; day pass at the gate $18; season pass $39; under 2 free. Group rates for 20+ people. Paintball costs extra at $5-$20 and animal feed is $1.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 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.
Riehm publishes the two things that make a farm easy to plan: a complete price list and a named calendar. A day pass is $15 online or $18 at the gate, a season pass is $39, under-2s are free, group rates exist for 20 or more, paintball is $5 to $20 extra and animal feed is a dollar. The season is September 19 to November 1, Saturdays 10am to 7pm and Sundays noon to 6pm.
Everything below follows from those numbers, and they reward a bit of arithmetic before you buy.
Three online day passes cost $45. The season pass costs $39. So the break-even is not a distant, theoretical number of visits — it is the third one.
For a family within half an hour of Tiffin, that is a genuinely easy decision. The farm is open ten days across the season and a household that comes twice already almost certainly comes a third time. For anyone driving an hour, the day pass is the right call and buying it online rather than at the gate saves $3 a head, which is $12 for a family of four.
The farm names three: Grandparents Day on September 19 and 20, Teacher Appreciation Day on September 26 and 27, and Baby’s First Pumpkin on October 3. Those are real savings, not a discount dressed up — and they are the sort of thing that decides which weekend you go, if you have someone in the family who qualifies.
The trade-off is predictable. A free-entry weekend at a farm with thirty-plus attractions will be busier than the ordinary version of the same weekend, even in late September when demand is otherwise low. Take the free entry, arrive at opening.
There is no weekday option. Ten days, and that is the season. If you have a Tuesday off in October and were hoping to use it on a quiet farm visit, this is not the farm.
It also means weather is a sharper risk than at a daily-opening operation. A washed-out Saturday does not move to Monday; it moves to next weekend, by which point you are a week deeper into a short season.
At $15 a head with thirty-plus attractions listed, this is a long-visit farm. The corn maze, the hayride, the pumpkin cannon, the barrel train, the giant slide, pedal carts, pig races, duck races, the goat walker, cow milking and the corn barn are all covered by the pass. Two hours does not touch it.
Two things are not covered. Paintball runs $5 to $20 on top, and animal feed is a dollar a go — which is trivial until three children each want to feed everything twice. Decide on the paintball before you arrive rather than at the range.
One seasonal note on the Saturday hours. A 7pm close in northwest Ohio is daylight in September and full dark by the second half of October. The final hour of a late-season Saturday is a different farm: colder, darker and better suited to older children than to a tired four-year-old. Plan to be leaving by then rather than starting something.
The 2026 season runs September 19 to November 1, Saturdays 10am to 7pm and Sundays noon to 6pm. Saturday is the longer day by three hours and the busier one; Sunday is shorter, later-starting and calmer. The farm also names several free-entry dates worth building a plan around: Grandparents Day on September 19 and 20, Teacher Appreciation Day on September 26 and 27, and a Baby's First Pumpkin event on October 3. If anyone in your group qualifies for one of those, the date chooses itself. Note that Saturday's 7pm close is well after dark by late October, which changes the last two hours considerably.
Four to five hours on a Saturday. With a corn maze, hayride, pumpkin cannon, barrel train, giant slide, pedal carts, pig races, duck races, a goat walker, cow milking and a corn barn, a two-hour visit leaves most of a $15 pass unused.
Ten open days across six and a half weeks in the Seneca County area. That is a concentrated season, and the free-entry dates in September will be busier than ordinary weekends despite falling early. Saturday afternoons in the second half of October are the peak.
Not published. Expect a farm field, and expect it soft after autumn rain.
You can only go on a weekday. The farm is Saturdays and Sundays only across the whole season, with no midweek option at all. Skip it too if you want a quick pumpkin stop — at $15 a head this needs a long visit to make sense, and there is no cheap walk-in tier for someone who just wants to buy a pumpkin.
A day pass is $15 bought online or $18 at the gate. A season pass is $39. Children under 2 are free, and group rates are available for parties of 20 or more. Paintball costs an extra $5 to $20 and animal feed is $1.
It pays for itself on the third visit. Three online day passes come to $45 against a $39 season pass, so if there is any realistic chance of coming back twice more across the season, the pass is the cheaper choice.
No. Barnyard Fun Adventures runs Saturdays and Sundays only, from September 19 to November 1, 2026.
