One of the cheapest honest days out in the Lehigh Valley, because the hayride to the pumpkin patch, the straw maze and the animals are all free — you only open your wallet for the corn maze, the rides and the pumpkins you weigh at the till.
Corn maze $10 per person, $9 for groups of 10 or more. Friday night flashlight maze $13 per person, $12 for groups of 10 or more. Pony rides $10. Amusement ride tickets $1.50 each. Visiting the farm animals and the straw maze is free, and the hayride to the pumpkin patch is free. Pumpkins $0.75/lb, gourds $1.50/lb, corn $1.25 an ear. Food trucks $2-$15.
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.
The interesting thing about Seiple is what it does not charge for. Most farms of this size in eastern Pennsylvania have converged on a single gate price that bundles the wagon ride, the play area and the maze into one number, usually somewhere between fifteen and twenty-five dollars a head. Seiple has not. The hayride out to the pumpkin patch is free. The straw maze is free. Walking around the animals is free. If you arrive with two children and a plan to leave with two carving pumpkins, the entire day costs you whatever those pumpkins weigh at seventy-five cents a pound.
That changes the calculation for anyone with an unpredictable toddler. At a ticketed farm you have committed sixty or eighty dollars before you discover that your two-year-old has decided today is a lying-down day. Here you have committed nothing. That is worth more than it sounds.
The corn maze is the real product, at twenty acres and ten dollars a head, nine if you come with a group of ten or more. Twenty acres is a serious maze, not a fifteen-minute loop, and it is the reason older children and adults come. For a family of four that is forty dollars, which is still well under a single gate ticket at the bigger Poconos operations, and you are choosing to spend it rather than being charged at the entrance.
After that it is small money that adds up. Amusement ride tickets are a dollar fifty each. Pony rides are ten dollars. Neither is expensive alone, but a la carte pricing works on children the way a dessert trolley works on adults, and the honest advice is to decide the ticket count in the car park rather than at the booth. Food trucks run two to fifteen dollars, so lunch for four is realistically thirty to fifty on top.
A rough total: free-entry visit with two pumpkins, about twenty-five dollars. The same plus the corn maze, about sixty-five. The same plus rides, ponies and lunch, comfortably north of a hundred and forty. All three are legitimate versions of this day out, which is the point of a la carte pricing.
The flashlight maze runs 6pm to 9pm on October 2, 9, 16 and 23, at thirteen dollars a head. It is a fundraiser, which usually means a fuller car park than a normal Friday and a good-natured crowd. Bring an actual torch. Phone screens die fast in the cold and they light about a metre of corn.
One planning note that catches people every year: the season’s last day is Sunday November 1, 2026, which is the day the clocks go back. A 6pm close on the final weekend is happening well after dark, in a way the same 6pm close in late September is not. The last hour of the last day will be a very different visit from the first hour of the first one, and if you have small children it is worth going earlier in the day at that end of the season.
Two things. The farm’s own page describes the pumpkin patch as forty acres while a state tourism round-up calls it thirty; we have no way to settle that, and it does not much matter beyond knowing it is a field you ride out to rather than walk to. And there is no published parking information, so the sensible assumption for a family farm that has been in the same hands since 1889 is unpaved ground that softens after rain. October in the Lehigh Valley is wet. Wear the boots.
The fall season runs September 26 through November 1, 2026, on Saturdays and Sundays 10am to 6pm, plus four Fridays (October 2, 9, 16 and 23) from noon to 6pm and Columbus Day Monday October 12, noon to 6pm. That is roughly seventeen operating days in total. The four Fridays and the Columbus Day Monday are the quiet slots and they are the ones most people never notice; if you can take a Friday afternoon in October, take it. If you want the flashlight maze instead, that is a Friday-evening-only thing, 6pm to 9pm on those same four dates.
Two to three hours covers the free hayride, the patch, the animals and the straw maze at an unhurried pace. Add an hour if you are doing the twenty-acre corn maze properly, and budget a full hour on its own for the flashlight version, which is slower in the dark.
Seventeen operating days across five and a bit weekends is a concentrated season, and Saturdays between 11am and 3pm will carry most of it. The four named Fridays and the Columbus Day Monday are the release valve. The flashlight maze evenings are a different crowd again — older, and busier than a normal Friday because they are fundraisers with a fixed number of dates.
Not published. Assume field or gravel parking, which is the norm for a working Lehigh Valley farm, and assume it holds water after October rain.
You want a single wristband that covers everything. Seiple prices a la carte, which is a bargain if you are selective and an irritation if you have three children who want to ride everything at $1.50 a ticket. Skip it too if you need a weekday other than the four named Fridays and Columbus Day — Monday to Thursday, the fall operation is shut.
Bath sits in the middle of the Lehigh Valley, so a Seiple visit slots easily beside the other Northampton County farm markets on the same corridor. If you want two farms in a day, do Seiple first thing when the wagon queue is short and keep the afternoon loose.
There is no gate fee. If you skip the corn maze, your only cost is pumpkins at $0.75 a pound, so two decent carvers might come to around $20 to $25. Add the twenty-acre corn maze at $10 each and you are at roughly $60 to $65 for four. Two pony rides at $10 and a dozen amusement-ride tickets at $1.50 push it past $100 before food trucks, which run $2 to $15 a head.
