This page provides a detailed list of deep southern tip and surrounding counties'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.

A visitor writes on October 17, 2010: "Fees are $10 for both children AND adults. I called ahead of time to get 1st time pointers & they failed to tell me that they are a cash-only facility (no checks or credit cards are accepted). There is an ATM machine on site, but you end up paying additional fees. I was also told that no outside food/beverages were allowed in. Their food & drinks have to be purchased with tickets sold within the maze, and their prices are way too high. I recommend that you eat prior or after visiting the maze so that you can get your money's worth. All the activities were fun & entertaining for the children and our kids did have a good time. Our visit to this maze lasted about two hours." -
