Spring Hill Sugar House in Richmond, RI

What you get for the price

Included with admission

Corn Maze

$10 per person. Facility is cash and check only (no cards).

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.

Our take

Important: Verify 2026 Details and Payment Method Before Driving

Spring Hill’s most recent confirmed information comes from a 2025 article. Hours (Mon-Fri 12-5 p.m., Sat-Sun 10 a.m.–5 p.m.), dates (Sept 1–Oct 31), pricing ($10 flat), and payment method (cash/check only) are from that source, not a direct 2026 confirmation.

Before driving to South County, call (401) 788-7431 to confirm 2026 opening date and verify the cash-and-check-only requirement is still in effect.

What It Is

Spring Hill is a maze-only operation with no add-on activities, festival setting, or frills—just a corn maze for $10 per person. The flat-rate pricing makes it one of the cheapest per-person options in Rhode Island, and the seven-day-a-week schedule (Sept 1–Oct 31, 2025) is rare; most farms run weekends only.

The cash-and-check-only payment model is an outlier in an era of ubiquitous card processing. This is a real constraint; it requires planning ahead.

Cost Arithmetic

$10 per person, no variables. A family of four: $40. A group of six: $60. There’s no arithmetic to do—it’s the straightforward, cheapest-per-person rate in the state.

Weekday rates match weekend rates, so if you visit on a Tuesday in late September, you still pay $10 per person, same as a Saturday in October. The only variable is what you’re paying for beyond the maze itself (food, pumpkins from elsewhere, etc.).

Season Timing and Crowds

The seven-day schedule is genuinely unusual. Most Rhode Island farms run weekends only (or weekends plus a few weekday hours). Spring Hill opens both days, which means:

  • Weekday mornings and early afternoons are much quieter than weekends.
  • Weekdays run noon-5 p.m., so morning visits require travel flexibility or aren’t possible.
  • October weekends will see heavier crowds regardless of the farm’s availability.
  • The maze closes 4:30 p.m. on weekdays (vs. 5 p.m. on weekends), giving you a tighter window mid-week.

If you can visit a Thursday afternoon in late September, you’ll likely have the maze mostly to yourself at the lowest price in the state.

The Maze Itself

The record doesn’t specify maze size, path count, or difficulty. Call (401) 788-7431 for candid feedback on whether it’s appropriate for your group’s age and experience level.

Payment Planning

No credit cards means you must bring sufficient cash or write a check. Rhode Island is small; if you live in-state, you probably have access to an ATM, but drive-planning is essential. Don’t assume the farm location has a nearby ATM. Bring cash.

Location and Logistics

Richmond is in South County (Washington County), well south of Providence, near the state’s southern border. It’s convenient for South County residents; for Providence-metro visitors, it’s a 30-40 minute drive.

Pair with a South County beach visit (Misquamicut State Beach is nearby) for a combined outing, or hit Spring Hill and another South County patch (like Escobar Farm in Portsmouth, 20 minutes away) if you want two mazes in a half-day.

What’s Uncertain

2026 opening date, closing date, exact maze characteristics, age-based pricing tiers, and food availability are not confirmed. Call ahead to verify before committing to a South County drive.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

September weekdays if you prefer lighter crowds; October weekends if you want peak fall atmosphere. Confirm 2026 season dates with the farm before planning (2025 data shows Sept 1–Oct 31).

How long to budget

1-2 hours for a complete maze experience (varies by group age and maze difficulty).

Crowds

Seven-day operation allows some flexibility. Weekday afternoons (especially Mon-Fri after 1 p.m.) run lighter. October weekends draw heavier weekend traffic. Note: maze closes 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, so plan accordingly.

Parking

No details in record. Typical farm lot; weekday afternoons should have ample parking.

Strollers and accessibility

Not specified in available records. Call (401) 788-7431 to confirm accessibility accommodations.

What to bring

  • Cash or check—no credit cards accepted. Plan ahead; ATM availability not specified, so bring sufficient cash.
  • Comfortable shoes (corn maze is a walk; distance not specified but assume 30-60 minutes for typical-sized maze)
  • Water and snacks (farm store details not available)

How to spend less here

  • Flat $10 per person is the lowest fixed rate in Rhode Island. No activity tiers, no add-ons, no surprises. Budget $10 × group size, nothing more.
  • Weekday visit cost is identical to weekend; time of day doesn't change the price. Choose weekday mornings/afternoons if crowds matter more to you than fall atmosphere.

Who it suits

Good for

  • Budget-conscious families (flat $10 per person, one of the cheapest per-person rates in the state)
  • South County residents (located in Richmond; minimal drive for that region)
  • Visitors with seven-days-a-week flexibility (open seven days a week, Mon-Fri shorter hours, Sat-Sun full hours)
  • Groups wanting a single-focus activity (corn maze only, no add-on festival or activities)

Skip it if

You must pay by credit card (cash-and-check-only payment is a hard requirement); or you need multiple activities (this is a maze-only venue with no hayrides, pony encounters, or festival setting); or you want to verify 2026 dates before committing to a South County drive.

Worth pairing with

Richmond is in South County (Washington County). Pair with a stop at a South County beach or town (Misquamicut State Beach is nearby) for a combined land-and-water day, or visit another South County farm if you want two mazes in one area.
