This page provides a detailed list of southeast New York state'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. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don't always report changes to me!

For more information, see these pages: Harvest schedule, Events, Apple varieties, Harvest fun, Photos, Field of Screams, Directions, School tours, Birthday parties Comments: October 1, 2007: A visitor writes: "We were disappointed with Barton Orchards this past weekend.  We had gone there last year and my 3 yr-old daughter loved the pony rides and jumping in the inflatable castle "bouncy".  However, this year they no longer have pony rides and in order to access the bouncy, one must pay $18 per adult to enter the "theme park".  As far as I could tell, the theme park didn't have anything geared towards young children.  They had a corn maze, haunted barn, and pedal-karts and bigger kids bouncing in the bouncy.  The so-called petting zoo consisted of caged animals for viewing - not petting.  I wish Barton would make this known on their website.  A nice place to bring older kids (over 5) but a little pricey and disappointing for younger kids.  It's a shame - we really thought we would visit Barton annually.  Maybe Applewood next time.  Thanks."
