Pocatello's main fall attraction with an educational corn maze (trivia-guided), a 15-acre pumpkin patch, tractor-wagon rides, and a limited tri-day schedule (Friday evening, Saturday, Monday evening only) — but 2026 specific hours, end date, and pricing are not confirmed, requiring a phone call to plan.
Swore Farms is Pocatello’s main fall attraction, opening October 1 with an educational corn maze (trivia questions guide your path), a 15-acre pumpkin patch, tractor-wagon rides, face painting, concessions, and a play area. The farm operates Friday evenings, Saturday, and Monday evenings only — a tri-day schedule unlike most regional farms.
Instead of a traditional maze where you navigate by trial, error, and dead ends, Swore’s maze includes trivia questions at decision points. Answering correctly or incorrectly directs you through different paths. This is genuinely more engaging and interactive than a pure puzzle maze, though it also means the experience depends on your trivia knowledge or comfort guessing.
Friday evening, Saturday, and Monday evening is an unusual schedule for a fall farm. Most farms run full days on weekends and weekday evenings. This compressed window means:
This schedule is either a feature (less crowded than weekend-heavy farms) or a barrier (inflexible), depending on your household.
