Harvest festivals are a quintessential autumn activity, and Barton Hill Farms in Bastrop boasts one of the best Texas has to offer. With a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayride, and tons more family-friendly activities, it’s a festive experience you’ll remember for years to come.
From October 3 until November 15, Barton Hill Farms will once again transform into a fall wonderland. With a pumpkin patch, corn maze, petting zoo, rides and games galore, and delicious food, the whole family is guaranteed to have a blast at this annual autumn celebration.
Find your way out of Austin's largest corn maze, spanning 3.5 acres. There's a new theme each year, so it's always a fun surprise. (The maze design also changes, so no cheating!)
It isn't scary at all, so feel free to bring the little ones along. Clues are placed throughout to help you navigate the endless rows of stalks, and you can exit early if necessary. Completing the maze typically takes about 30-45 minutes.
With slides, archery, basketball, tree fort, giant jumping pillow, and classic yard games like tetherball, corn hole, and washers, the fun is truly endless. Other attractions include face painting, a catch-and-release fishing pond, live music, and so much more.
Snacks galore promise to keep everyone fed and happy all day long. Seven food and drink stands feature pizza, funnel cakes, burgers made from Barton Hill Farms beef, apple cider, and local popcorn, among other goodies. There's even a beer and cider garden for the adults to help you cool off on a steamy Texas afternoon.
Tickets must be purchased online this year. General admission is $16.95 plus tax on Fridays, and $19.95 plus tax Saturday-Sunday. Add-ons like face painting, fishing, and pumpkins are not included with the price of a ticket.
