Wright Family Farm

📍 329 Kings Highway, Warwick, NY 10990🗓 Season dates not yet published for 2026🏷 From $15/person

Around $15 for a five-acre maze, two pumpkin patches and ten activities with no reservation needed — one of the more relaxed weekend options in Orange County, though the price comes from a guide rather than the farm.

Admission runs $15 before tax and covers the farm, barnyard and maze; advance online purchase is available. The farm's own site did not publish a price on the pages read.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 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.

Our take

Two pumpkin patches rather than one is the detail that stands out on this record, and it is a more meaningful difference than it sounds. A single field at a popular Orange County farm is thoroughly picked over by mid-October; splitting the crop across two patches usually means the second is opened later and still has decent pumpkins in it when the first is bare. Worth asking which one is fresher when you arrive.

The rest of the list is a well-judged mid-size farm: a five-acre corn maze, hayrides, cow train rides, animal feeding, pedal carts, a hamster wheel, pumpkin bowling, a tube slide and observation bridges. Nothing exotic, nothing you have to queue forty minutes for, and a reasonable spread for children roughly between three and ten. Above that age the maze does the heavy lifting.

No reservation is the real feature

The farm makes a point of not requiring reservations, and in the current market that is worth something. A large share of Hudson Valley farms now run timed entry, which means picking a slot two weeks out and then discovering on the morning that it is raining. Being able to look at the forecast on Saturday breakfast and decide then is a genuine convenience, particularly in October when Hudson Valley weather is not a thing you can predict in advance.

The trade is the 5:00pm last admission. If you are the kind of person who decides at 3pm, build in the drive: Warwick is well south and west of most of the valley’s population, and the roads into it on an October Saturday carry leaf traffic on top of farm traffic.

On the price

The $15 figure comes from a regional magazine guide, not from the farm, and it carries no date. That is not a reason to distrust it — $15 is consistent with a farm of this size in this county — but it is a reason not to arrive with exactly $60 in your pocket for a family of four. Confirm it on the phone or in the online booking flow, and while you are at it, ask whether the cow train and pedal carts are included or ticketed separately.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Saturdays and Sundays, 10:00am-6:00pm, with last admission at 5:00pm. The farm's site says the season starts September 19 but prints no year; September 19 is a Saturday in 2026, so the date is plausible but unconfirmed. Aim for the 10am opening — Warwick sits in a corridor that fills with leaf traffic on October weekends, and the drive in is a bigger factor here than the queue at the gate.

How long to budget

Two and a half to three hours. Ten activities plus a five-acre maze plus picking is a solid half-day, but it is not the six-hour proposition some of the bigger Hudson Valley farms are.

Crowds

Weekends only across a season of roughly six or seven weekends puts everything into a dozen operating days. Columbus Day weekend and the two before Halloween are the peak. The 5:00pm last admission means late arrivals at a busy time can be shut out.

Parking

Not published. Assume a field lot, and assume the walk in is muddy after autumn rain.

What to bring

  • Closed shoes for the tube slide, hamster wheel and pedal carts
  • Layers — a 10am October start in Warwick is cold and the afternoon is not
  • Boots for the pumpkin fields, particularly in the second half of the season
  • A card, and cash as backup since no payment policy is published

How to spend less here

  • A regional guide puts admission at $15 before tax, covering the farm, barnyard and maze. That figure is undated and did not appear on the farm's own site, so confirm before you budget around it
  • Advance online purchase is available. It is not required — the farm makes a point of no reservations needed — but it saves standing in the gate queue on a peak weekend
  • Check whether anything sits outside the $15. At farms with cow trains and pedal carts, ride tickets are sometimes separate

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families with children roughly 3 to 10 — cow train rides, animal feeding, pedal carts and pumpkin bowling all sit at the younger end
  • People who hate booking. The farm advertises that no reservation is needed, which is increasingly rare at October weekends
  • Anyone who wants a real maze without a theme-park gate price

Skip it if

You can only go midweek — this is a Saturday and Sunday operation. Skip it too if you are chasing a big attraction park; the scale here is moderate by Orange County standards.

Worth pairing with

Twin Ponds on the Farm in Montgomery is the natural comparison — the other weekends-only Orange County farm on our list, at $17 plus tax with a seven-acre maze. Pick one; both are a half-day and doing both in a day would be a rush.
