New England's oldest continuous corn maze with a serious five-acre design, plus historical credibility—good value on weekdays, worth a night visit for the 'Moonlight Maze' if you're seeking something memorable.
Weekdays: $15 (ages 12+), $12 (ages 11 and under). Weekends/Holidays: $18 (ages 12+), $15 (ages 11 and under). Moonlight Maze: $22 (ages 12+), $18 (ages 11 and under). Free for ages 2 and under.
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.
Salisbury Farm is the oldest continuously operating corn maze in New England, running since 1998. That history isn’t marketing fluff—it means the farm’s maze design has been refined over two decades. A five-acre footprint with over a mile of paths is substantial without being overwhelming; it’s a real challenge for adults and older kids, manageable but not trivial for families.
The Moonlight Maze dates on October 17 and 24 offer something genuinely rare in Rhode Island’s fall-activity landscape: a nighttime, flashlight-guided maze experience priced separately from daytime operations. This isn’t a hay-maze or a kiddie walk; it’s a full-sized corn maze in darkness, which appeals to older kids (tweens-plus) and adults seeking something different from typical weekend pumpkin patches.
Weekday pricing is the real savings lever here. A family of two adults and two kids ages 11-and-under pays $12 each on weekdays ($48 total), versus $15 on weekends ($60 total). That $12 gap matters if you’re comparing across Rhode Island venues.
Ages 2 and under are free, which helps toddler-parent pairs—though the maze itself is a walk, not suited to strollers or very young children on foot.
Moonlight Maze runs $22 (ages 12+) and $18 (ages 11 and under)—$4-6 more than daytime rates—but includes a unique atmospheric experience not available elsewhere on Aquidneck Island.
Salisbury runs from mid-September through November 1, one of the longer seasons in the state. That extended window is friendly if your fall schedule is flexible; September visits see fewer crowds than peak October, when all of Rhode Island’s patches compete for weekend traffic.
Weekday visits are profoundly quieter than weekends. If you can visit a Tuesday or Thursday morning, you’ll solve the maze without waiting for other families to clear tight sections—a real advantage in a crowded-path scenario.
With over a mile of paths on five acres, this is a real puzzle, not a gimmick. Adults report taking 30-45 minutes to solve it; families with kids may take longer depending on age and competitive spirit. The annual theme change (2026 honors the US Army’s 250th anniversary) adds a visual element beyond just path navigation.
Call ahead if you want confirmation that the specific design suits your group’s comfort level. A maze that’s “challenging” for some is frustrating for others, and staff can give honest guidance about difficulty pacing.
The farm has a farm store with fall produce and pumpkins available for purchase. Bring water and snacks if you plan to spend time; the maze is a walk, and southern New England October weather can run surprisingly warm on sunny days.
Research notes mention last tickets sold one hour before closing, so plan your arrival timing. On weekends, that’s 4 p.m. if you want a full evening maze experience.
Weekdays (September-mid-October) for lower costs and manageable crowds; October 17 and 24 for the Moonlight Maze experience if you want something different.
1-2 hours for a casual maze visit; 2-3 hours if you treat the maze as a real challenge and add food or browsing the farm store.
Weekdays run significantly lighter than weekends. October 17 and 24 Moonlight Maze sessions attract a more adult, evening-focused crowd.
No specific details in record; typical farm lot. Arrive by late morning on weekends to secure convenient parking.
No details published. Call (401) 942-9741 ahead if accessibility is a requirement.
You want multiple activities in one visit (this is a dedicated maze farm, not a festival with rides, hayrides, or pony encounters); or you're timing a visit for early September when opening crowds are lighter but you find historical farms less scenic than polished pumpkin-patch operations.
Johnston sits in the Providence metro area. Pair with Cucumber Hill Farm (about 20 minutes away) in Foster if you want two mazes on one day—Cucumber Hill offers variety and evening options, while Salisbury offers historical depth and a serious maze challenge.
