Flat all-in pricing at $16.95 to $18.95 with every barnyard attraction included, open six days a week — one of the simplest farms in the Rochester area to budget for.
Weekdays (Mon, Tue, Thu) $16.95. Weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) $18.95. Season pass $60.95. All barnyard attractions included with admission.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $67.80 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.
Wickham’s pricing is the reason to look at it first. Admission is $16.95 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and $18.95 Friday to Sunday, and every barnyard attraction is included. There is no ride wristband, no punch card, no premium tier. Whatever you think the day will cost at the gate is roughly what it costs, with u-pick apples and food as the only realistic additions.
That is rarer than it sounds. Most farms at this scale in Monroe County sell a base ticket and then sell the interesting things separately, which is how a $19 family outing quietly becomes a $130 one. Here the decision at the window is which day you came, not which package to buy.
Opening September 11 and running daily except Wednesdays gives this farm far more flexibility than the weekends-only operations nearby. A wet Saturday is not a lost season; you go Thursday instead, save $2 a head and walk into a quieter farm. The 10am-to-7pm day is long enough that a late-afternoon visit is genuinely viable in September.
That last point flips as the season goes on. In mid-September, 7pm is a long golden evening. By the last week of October, sunset has moved forward by well over an hour and the final stretch of the day is dark, cold and best suited to people who came dressed for it. The farm’s published closing time does not change; what that hour feels like changes completely.
Thirteen apple varieties and an on-site cidery mean this is as much an orchard as a pumpkin farm, and the Sunflower Spectacular pushes the same point — there is a reason to come in September that has nothing to do with Halloween. Picking is charged separately from admission, so a family that comes for both should expect the apples to be a second line on the bill rather than part of the ticket.
Two gaps in the published information. There is no fall closing date, so the end of the season is an open question; and no phone number appears on the pages we read, which makes it hard to check conditions on a doubtful morning. If a wet week has you wondering whether the pumpkin field is workable, the farm’s website and social channels are the only route to an answer.
Fall opens September 11, 2026 and runs daily except Wednesdays, 10am to 7pm. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are the $16.95 days and also the quiet ones; Friday, Saturday and Sunday are $18.95. Early in the season that 7pm close gives you a genuinely long evening, which makes an after-school or after-work visit realistic in September. By late October, 7pm is well after dark and the last couple of hours are a different, colder proposition.
Two to three hours for the barnyard attractions and a pumpkin. Longer if you are picking apples, which is a separate activity from the play areas and easily absorbs an hour on its own.
Weekends carry both the higher price and the crowd. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are the deliberate off-peak, and with the farm open six days a week there is a real alternative to the Saturday crush.
Not published. A Monroe County farm of this size will use field parking, which softens after autumn rain.
Wednesday is your only free day — the farm is closed. Skip it too if you want a season-long plan built around a known end date, since the farm publishes an opening date but no closing one.
