The Best Pumpkin Patches Near Palm Coast, FL (2026): Dates, Hours & Prices

If fall in Flagler County isn't complete without a hayride, a corn maze and a pumpkin you picked yourself, you're in luck. Five farms within about an hour of Palm Coast are open right now for 2026. It's October 16 as I write this, so some of them have only a weekend or two left. Here's what each one has posted on its own official page, so you can plan before you drive.

Quick note: farm schedules and prices can change with weather, so I always suggest checking the farm's website or calling the morning you go. Everything below comes from the farms' and the county tourism office's current 2026 listings.

Cowart Ranch & Farms Maze Days Fall Festival: Bunnell

This is the closest one to home, about 20 minutes from most of Palm Coast, and it's celebrating its 16th year. The farm's own page shows it open Saturdays and Sundays from October 10 through November 8, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The last tickets are sold an hour before closing, so don't roll in at 6:45.

• Where: Cowart Ranch & Farms, 8185 W. Highway 100, Bunnell
• Admission: $15 per person ($14 for seniors, military and first responders with ID); ages 2 and under are free
• Included: a walk-through corn maze (plan on 30 to 60 minutes), a hayride out to see the cattle herd, farm animals to pet, a pumpkin patch with sunflowers where you can pick a carving or eating pumpkin, a burlap-sack slide, a corn pit, a mini maze, a giant bounce pad and cornhole
• Extras: a tractor train for little ones (first ride free, then $5), the corn cannon (first shot free, then $2), pony rides ($8, or 2 for $15) and a mechanical bucking bull ($5 a ride or $10 for three)

Because it's open every day through Halloween weekend, this is the easiest one to fit into a busy schedule.

If you're making a whole Halloween week of it, my guide to Palm Coast's top trick-or-treat spots is already updated for this year too.

Tips for a smoother farm day

• Bring cash. Several of these farms prefer it for food and extras.
• Go earlier in the day on weekends. Lines build in the afternoon.
• Wear closed-toe shoes and bring sunscreen and bug spray. October in Florida still feels like summer some afternoons.
• Check the weather. Heavy rain can close mazes or change hours.
