The cheapest farm in central New York on a weekday at $6 a head — but the wagon rides and apple cannons only run Friday to Sunday, so the bargain ticket buys a quieter, thinner farm.
Mon-Thu $6.00 plus $1.23 fee for all ages. Fri-Sun adults 13+ $9.00 plus $1.34 fee; children 12 and under $8.00 plus $1.30 fee. Ages 2 and under free. Season pass $45.00 plus $2.60 fee. Craft nights $28.92-$36.16. Corn Maze After Dark $10.34. Pumpkins sold separately from admission.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $24.00 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.
Tim’s is the cheapest farm on this list by a wide margin, and the pricing is published to the cent, booking fees included, which is more transparency than most farms manage. Monday to Thursday is $6.00 plus a $1.23 fee for everyone regardless of age. Friday to Sunday is $9.00 plus $1.34 for adults 13 and up and $8.00 plus $1.30 for children 12 and under.
A family of two adults and two school-age children pays $28.92 on a Monday and $39.28 on a Saturday. At the larger ticketed farms in this region, the same family is looking at $80 to $190. That gap is the reason to consider this place, and it is not close.
Here is the thing the price alone does not tell you. The farm, bakery and gift store are open 9am to 6pm every day, but the wagon rides run Fridays noon to 6pm and weekends 10am to 6pm, and the apple cannons run weekends only, 10am to 6pm. Those two are the attractions children ask about in the car.
So the $6 Monday ticket is not a discounted version of the Saturday experience — it is a different, smaller one. That is fine if you came for the pumpkin field, the corn maze, the animal barn and a hay fort, all of which run daily. It is a problem if a wagon ride was promised. Decide which trip you are taking before you buy.
Pumpkins are sold separately from admission, which is normal for a u-pick field but worth stating since the low ticket price sets a certain expectation. Craft nights are separately priced events at $28.92 to $36.16, not add-ons to a daytime visit. Corn Maze After Dark is $10.34.
The season pass is where the honest answer is unflattering. At $45.00 plus a $2.60 fee, it needs roughly seven weekday visits, or five weekend ones, before it beats buying singles. That threshold only makes sense if you live close enough to treat the farm as a regular autumn habit rather than an annual outing. For most families, buying tickets each time is simply cheaper.
The night maze deserves its own warning. Late October in Onondaga County after sunset is genuinely cold, and a corn maze is a place where you stand still, take wrong turns and stop moving for long stretches. Dress for an hour outdoors in the dark rather than for the drive over. The site does not say whether torches are provided, so bring one.
The daytime version of the same point: 6pm in mid-September is a long evening, and 6pm at the end of October is closing at dusk. The published hours do not change through the season, but what the last hour of the day feels like changes completely.
The farm states it is open every day in September and October but does not give exact first and last dates. At the shoulders of the season — the first days of September and the last of October — that is worth confirming rather than assuming.
Open 9am to 6pm every day in September and October 2026, though the farm does not give exact first and last dates. The real choice is weekday versus weekend. Monday to Thursday costs $6 plus a $1.23 fee for all ages and gets you the pumpkin field, corn maze, animal barn, hay fort and bakery. Friday to Sunday costs $8 to $9 plus fees and adds the wagon rides and apple cannons — the things most children are actually there for. Arrive near the 9am open in October if you want the maze to yourself.
Two hours on a weekday, three on a weekend once wagon rides and apple cannons are in play. This is a real farm rather than an amusement park, so it does not need a full day to feel worthwhile.
Weekends carry the crowd and the full attraction schedule together. Weekdays are cheap and quiet for the same reason: less is running.
Not published. A working farm on Rose Hill Road will park visitors on grass or gravel, so expect soft ground after autumn rain.
Your children have their hearts set on wagon rides or the apple cannons and you can only go Monday to Thursday — neither runs. Skip the cheap weekday ticket too if you are driving a long way; the value is in the low price, and a long drive undoes that logic.
Monday to Thursday it is $6.00 plus a $1.23 fee for all ages. Friday to Sunday it is $9.00 plus a $1.34 fee for adults 13 and up and $8.00 plus a $1.30 fee for children 12 and under. Ages 2 and under are free. A season pass is $45.00 plus a $2.60 fee.
