Florida Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, Hayrides and More, Find Halloween and Fall Fun in Florida!

This page provides a detailed list of East-Central'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!

We have loads of related resources here, too.

On our Pick-your-own website, we also have pages with our own simple instructions on canning, freezing and drying many other fruits and vegetables, such as how to make jam, apple butter, applesauce, spaghetti sauce, salsa, pickles, ketchup or freezing corn (these links open new pages, just close them to return here). Be sure to come back at Christmas if you are looking for a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm! Look at the bottom of the page for links to resources on home canning, picking tips, recipes, etc..

We do value our customers and the time they spend with us and hope that we can improve going forward! Please send us an e-mail at sales@longandscottfarms.com so that we can help you."
A visitor writes on October 16, 2010: " I just got back from Long & Scott corn maze and pumpkin patch with my family and it was amazing, it had everything you would want in that kind of attraction, and is a great family outing, however, the customer service leaves something to be desired. My family and I got there at about 3pm, the attraction closes at 5pm and we knew this and we were fine with it we still wanted to go in, but the attendants at the attraction seemed actually angry that people were continuing to show up so close to show up so close to closing time. They were actually yelling at the customers and speaking in very rude tones to the people who were there spending good money at their business. At about a quarter to 5pm they start to go around the park and tell everyone that they are closing and they even threatened that if you are not out of the parking lot by 5pm that they are going to close the gate on you. As i walked out the park to the parking lot even and older lady going to her car was talking out loud to herself about how disorganized and rude everyone was, so i said to her " Wow, I thought it was just me! " and she said " no, they are an equal opportunity rude organization. " So, long story short, be forewarned the attraction itself is great but the staff just might ruin it for you. "
A visitor writes on September 30, 2009: "I've been to this farm a couple of times for their corn maze with my Girl Scout troop & the girls & I loved it!
