Where to find pumpkin patches, Corn Mazes, Hayrides and More in Worcester County, Massachusetts

This page provides a detailed list of Worcester County's pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!! Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands. All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from. To really make it fun for your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride. There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free.

We have loads of related resources here, too.

A visitor writes on September 22, 2009: "I was just at the farm with my daughter and 2 friends. I took them for the corn maze as they had a half day from school. at 10 y/o, they didn't need the petting zoo/farm animals at all. Their web site is unclear/misleading as to pricing. The list the price of the corn maze as $3 per person, and list all activities at Marshall as 'a la carte'. On arrival. they charged us and additional $5 per person as you entered the corn maze from the petting zoo area. so my $12 trip turned into $32. Customers should know exactly what they are being charged from the web site but it is not clear at all."
