A working dairy farm with a free gate, a genuinely large 12-acre corn maze and a hay ride that includes feeding the cows — but the farm's own website was still showing 2025 dates and prices in August 2026, so confirm before you drive.
General admission to the farm is free. Corn maze $10 per person daytime and $15 at night, hay rides $6 per person, children under 2 free - these figures come from the farm's own 2025 Fall page, which had not been updated for 2026 when it was read. Lake Country Family Fun's 2026 roundup lists the corn maze at $10 and hayrides at $6, the same as 2025.
Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.
Schuett is the kind of farm that a big ticketed operation is not: a working dairy in Waukesha County that opens its fields in autumn, charges nothing at the gate, and sells you the maze and the hay ride individually. What you get is fewer attractions and a more agricultural day, at a fraction of the price.
Twelve acres and an advertised four-plus miles of paths is a serious maze by southeastern Wisconsin standards. That number is the most useful planning fact on the page, because it tells you who the farm suits. Older children and adults who like getting properly lost will get their $10 worth. A four-year-old will get twenty minutes in, get bored, and want carrying — and there is no ride area, jump pillow or petting zoo in our record to redirect them to.
The flashlight maze is the genuine differentiator. Few farms in the county run one, and doing four miles of corn paths in the dark with a torch is a different activity from doing them in daylight. It ran 6pm to 10pm on October weekend evenings in 2025 with a 9pm last entry, and the 2026 schedule had not been posted when we checked. If this is what you are coming for, phone first rather than assuming last year’s dates repeat.
The hay ride here includes feeding the cows, which follows from this being an actual dairy rather than an entertainment property with a few animals in a pen. For a lot of children that is a more memorable twenty minutes than any slide, and it is the thing that most distinguishes a visit here from a visit to a bigger, glossier farm down the road.
Entry is free. At 2025 rates, the daytime maze was $10 a head and the hay ride $6, with under-2s free. Two adults and two children doing both is $64. Doing just the maze is $40. Doing just the hay ride is $24. Buying pumpkins and nothing else is the price of the pumpkins.
The night maze was $15, half again as much as the daytime price for the same field. That premium is defensible as atmosphere and worth paying once, but it is not the version to buy if what you want is the maze itself — you can see less of it, and you will spend part of the time managing a torch beam rather than reading the paths.
There is also a corn cannon and pumpkin launching on site, neither of which is priced in our record. Assume they are extra, and assume children will ask.
This is the honest caveat that should govern your planning. When our researcher read schuettfarm.com in August 2026, the Fall page still showed the 2025 season and 2025 prices. It had not been updated. The September 20 opening date and the 10am opening time in this listing come from a regional 2026 roundup, which also repeats the $10 maze and $6 hay ride. No 2026 closing date exists anywhere we looked, and no day-of-week schedule either — we do not know which days the farm is open.
That is a real gap, and the practical response is simple: call 262-968-4348 or check the farm’s Facebook page the day before, and do not build a weekend around the night maze until the farm posts its own dates.
Frost ends corn mazes. Once the corn goes down there is no maze, regardless of what a website says, and southeastern Wisconsin can get a hard frost well before Halloween. Some farms keep the pumpkin field open afterwards. With no published closing date here, a late-season visit is a bet, and one worth confirming by phone.
For the night maze specifically: standing in an open field in Waukesha County at 9pm in late October is genuinely cold, colder than the daytime high suggests. Layers, gloves and a torch with fresh batteries. A phone light will do for ten minutes and then it will not.
A 2026 opening date of September 20 comes from a regional roundup rather than the farm itself, and no closing date has been published. The farm opens at 10am. The distinctive booking is the nighttime flashlight maze, which in 2025 ran October weekend evenings from 6pm to 10pm with a 9pm last entry; the 2026 night dates had not been posted when we checked. Daytime, an early-October Saturday morning gives you dry-ish ground and a maze at its tallest. After a hard frost the corn goes down, so late-season visits are a gamble on a maze that may already have been cut.
Two hours for the maze and a hay ride. Add a further hour if the corn cannon and pumpkin launching hold the children's attention, which they usually do.
Free entry lowers the barrier, and a farm four miles from Mukwonago on a state highway is easy to reach from the whole Milwaukee-Waukesha corridor. October Saturdays are the pressure point. The night maze is self-limiting because it runs on selected weekends only, but that same scarcity means the evenings it does run are busy.
Not published. This is a dairy farm on Highway 83, so field or gravel parking is the safe assumption, and October rain on farm ground in southeastern Wisconsin turns a lot into a problem quickly. Boots, and do not wear anything you mind.
Not published, and unlikely to be strong. A 12-acre corn maze, a hay wagon and an open dairy yard are uneven ground by nature. The free gate at least means you can look before you spend.
You need certainty. As of August 2026 the farm's own Fall page still carried the 2025 season and 2025 prices, and no closing date or day-of-week schedule has been published for 2026. Skip it too if your children are small: four miles of maze paths and a corn cannon are built for bigger kids, and there is no ride area or petting zoo in our record to fall back on.
The Elegant Farmer is also in Mukwonago, with a free-entry Autumn Harvest Festival on weekends, u-pick apples and its apple pie baked in a paper bag. Between the two you can do pumpkins, a maze and a cow-feeding hay ride at Schuett and apples and a bakery at Elegant Farmer, both without paying a gate price at either.
General admission to the farm is free. The corn maze was $10 per person in daytime and $15 at night, and hay rides $6 per person, with children under 2 free. Those figures come from the farm's own 2025 Fall page, which had not been updated for 2026 when we read it, though a 2026 regional roundup repeats the same $10 and $6.
September 20 per a regional 2026 roundup, opening at 10am. The farm's own site had not posted 2026 dates when we checked, and no closing date has been published. Call 262-968-4348 or check the farm's Facebook page before driving out.
Yes, a flashlight maze on selected October weekend evenings. In 2025 it ran 6pm to 10pm with last entry at 9pm. The 2026 dates had not been published when we checked. Bring your own light.
12 acres, with the farm advertising more than four miles of paths. That is large for the area, and large enough that small children will not finish it.
Opens September 20, 2026 (closing date not published). Hours: Opens at 10:00am; the night maze runs 6:00pm-10:00pm on selected October weekends with last entry at 9:00pm.
