A community-popular fourth-annual fall festival in Rexburg with nightly storytelling, hayrides, a pumpkin cannon, and farmyard activities, priced affordably at $8 per person (3 and under free), operating all of October, M–F 4–7pm and Saturdays 10am–7pm — but the farm's 2026 opening and closing dates are not yet confirmed.
General admission $8 per person; ages 3 and under free
Rough cost for a family of four: about $32.00 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.
Treehouse Nursery Fall Fest is a community-oriented fall festival in Rexburg (Madison County) in its fourth year. The farm features a Fairytale Forest with nightly storytelling at 5:30pm, hay rides, a pumpkin cannon, a corn box, and farmyard activities, all included in a moderate $8-per-person admission (children 3 and under free). A food barn provides concessions.
Nightly storytelling in the Fairytale Forest at 5:30pm is the signature element and a genuine differentiator from activity-heavy commercial farms. This appeals to families with younger children (3–8 age range) who engage with themed storytelling environments. The nightly consistency means you can plan around that timing.
Monday–Friday hours are 4–7pm (evening-only access); Saturday is 10am–7pm. This is a narrow weekday window that works for families finishing work or school but not for flexible daytime visits. Weekends offer full Saturday days. If you have a weekday morning or midday free, you will need to visit on a different week.
Rexburg sits in the heart of Eastern Idaho, home to Brigham Young University–Idaho. The community has strong family orientation and local pride. This festival reflects local values (storytelling, community, moderate pricing) more than a commercial tour-operator aesthetic.
At $8 per person (3 and under free), this is a moderate, straightforward rate. For a family of four with one very young child, the math works: $8 + $8 + $0 + $8 = $24 total.
Hay rides, pumpkin cannon, corn box, and Fairytale Forest access are bundled in admission. Food is à la carte. This is transparent bundling with no surprise activity fees.
Mentioned as an activity but not detailed. Corn boxes are typically sandbox-like structures filled with dried corn kernels for children to play in, similar to a corn pit. Confirm what the corn box offers when you call.
As with most farms, October peak season hits hardest in mid-to-late October. Early October in Rexburg, on a weekday evening, will feel markedly quieter than a Saturday afternoon in late October.
All of October 2026 (specific dates not yet confirmed). Monday–Friday hours are 4–7pm (evening only), Saturday is 10am–7pm. Nightly storytelling in the Fairytale Forest at 5:30pm is a core draw. Call 208-356-3321 or email treehousenurserycompany@gmail.com to confirm 2026 opening date.
Two to three hours for Fairytale Forest, storytelling, pumpkin cannon, hayrides, and farmyard activities. One hour suffices if you focus on storytelling and one activity.
A community-popular venue with storytelling and moderate admission ($8 per person) will draw steady families. October is peak season everywhere. Early October is calmer than late October. Evenings (M–F 4–7pm) are quieter than Saturday 10am–7pm.
