A large Lowcountry attraction with 22 years of corn-maze tradition, farm zoo, rodeo events, extended hours (Wed–Sun, 10am–8pm), and special Glow Nights—but pricing is not published online and you must call ahead.

West Farm is the Lowcountry’s largest corn-maze attraction, with 22 years of tradition (2026 is the 22nd annual). The farm sits near Moncks Corner in Berkeley County, in the landscape where South Carolina transitions from the Midlands to true coastal plains—sandy soil, marsh influences, and warmer fall weather than the Upstate.
The farm operates October 1 through November 1, Wednesday through Sunday, 10am–8pm (gate ticket sales close at 7pm). This gives you access on weekdays (rare for farm attractions), which matters if your schedule doesn’t align with traditional weekend-only operations. Weekday mornings are genuinely quiet; most farm visits cluster on weekends.
The Lowcountry climate is your wildcard: October weather is typically pleasant (60s–70s daytime, 50s evening), but the region overlaps with Atlantic hurricane season. A tropical storm or early-season hurricane in late September could flood the farm’s fields or force closure in early October. November is your safest weather bet—tropical systems are rare, temperatures are mild, and crowds thin out as Halloween passes.
The 8pm closing (ticket sales until 7pm) means evening visits are possible, but you need to arrive early enough to complete the maze before dark. With a corn maze typically taking 45 minutes to 1+ hour, arriving before 6pm gives comfortable margin.
The 22-year corn maze is the core attraction. The farm also operates hayrides, a farm zoo with animal feeding, a play area (tire piles, corn pits, bubble zone, hay-bale maze), plus periodic special events.
The Moncks Corner Pro Rodeo runs October 2–4. This is listed as an attraction but it’s unclear whether this is included with regular farm admission or requires separate tickets. Rodeo events typically draw larger crowds and may have premium pricing. Call ahead to understand how this event overlaps with your planned visit.
Glow Night is a special evening experience (specific dates and pricing unknown). Research notes mention it’s available, but details require a website visit or phone call. If nighttime attractions interest your group, confirm dates and costs before arriving.
Field trips are available Wednesday–Friday 9am–2pm for school groups; inquire about group rates or educational packages.
The critical gap: 2026 pricing is available only on the farm’s Tickets & Info page, not in the search results or initial website content. You cannot plan a budget honestly without calling or visiting that specific page. Confirm admission and attraction pricing before committing to the drive from outside the immediate area.
Food trucks are on-site, but specific vendors and pricing are not listed. Call ahead to learn what’s available and budget accordingly; bringing snacks from home is more economical for a 3–5 hour visit.
Weekday mornings (Tuesday–Thursday 10am–noon) are quiet and ideal for avoiding crowds. Saturdays and Sundays are unquestionably busy, especially mid-October. The special events (rodeo, Glow Nights) will draw concentrated crowds on their specific dates.
West Farm is a full-service Lowcountry destination with 22 years of reputation and a genuine multi-activity mix. The lack of published web-accessible pricing is a planning obstacle, but the farm’s size and track record suggest it’s professionally run. Early October planning requires tropical-weather awareness; mid-October through November is safer for weather predictability. Call to confirm 2026 pricing and event calendar before driving, especially if you’re traveling more than 30 minutes.
Mid-October for stable weather and full attractions; avoid early October if tropical systems threaten (hurricane season overlap); November for quieter crowds and mild Lowcountry weather.
3–5 hours for full experience (maze, hayrides, farm zoo, play area, possible rodeo or Glow Night event).
Weekday mornings quietest; Saturdays and Sundays busiest. Rodeo events (Oct 2–4) and Glow Night dates will draw larger crowds—check website for specific event dates.
On-site farm lot; sandy/clay Lowcountry soil, typically manageable but can hold water after rain.
Not detailed on website. Call ahead to confirm wheelchair access and ADA accommodations for maze, play area, and farm zoo.
You need published pricing before commitment; pricing is available only on the Tickets & Info page, not in search results. The farm's Lowcountry location means tropical-weather risk in early October.
Moncks Corner is 30 minutes north of Charleston, near Francis Marion National Forest (hiking, scenic drives). Cypress Gardens (15 miles south) offers boardwalk nature walking and kayaking if you want fall scenery combined with the farm. Combine with a Charleston visit if traveling from outside the region.
A special evening experience at the farm, mentioned in research notes but not detailed online. Likely involves illuminated attractions or maze-walking with lights. Separate pricing and specific dates (probably select October evenings) require a call to 843-XXX-XXXX or website visit.
A real pro-rodeo event held at the farm on those dates, included in research notes. This is likely a separate ticketed event or premium admission. Confirm dates, pricing, and whether regular farm admission is included when you call.
Not specified. Typical farm zoos include goats, sheep, rabbits, maybe alpacas or llamas. Call ahead to learn which animals your group can interact with.
The farm maintains a multi-element play area: physical play with tire piles, sensory play in corn pits, and a bubble zone. The hay-bale maze is a separate easy maze (distinct from the large corn maze). Children ages 2–8 will find these engaging.
October 1 – November 1, 2026. Wednesday-Sunday 10am-8pm (Thursday-Sunday October 1 - November 1). Hours: Wednesdays-Sundays 10am-8pm (gate ticket sales close at 7pm).
