This page provides a detailed list of long Island, NY's and Statan Island'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!

  A visitor writes on September 18, 2010: "After reading about it on your site, my family and I went to the Queens County Farm Museum today. My son (3) and daughter (1) loved the hayride and the corn maize. My husband and I thought that the corn maize was great---loved the puzzles and the mailboxes as it kept our kids entertained while they enjoyed exploring. We also grabbed a bite to eat, bought some food at the farmers market and visited the animals on the farm. It was a fun experience for all of us! We were really impressed with the staff- everyone was friendly and helpful! "

  A visitor writes on December 12, 2010: "We went for the "Winter Wonderland Hayride" with a most wonderful lights and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately they didn't have enough visitors last year to continue it this year but the rest of the winter activities are still available and Santa is there to greet you nice and friendly as always. I'm hoping to help them get more visitors so they can have the lightshow again. Plus the Halloween Haunted Farm is a first time event for Fall 2011 so I thought they can maybe use some publicity & advertisement to get it started."

I swear the place gets better and better each year. It wasn't crowded, the parking was better organized and there were thousands of pumpkins to choose from. The kids love taking the pumpkins off the vine. Thank god for wheel barrels! I like watching the kids juggle what they try to carry, but I'm not interested in juggling. Enjou the Hay ride and watch the kids enjoy the Corn Maze. "

  A visitor writes on October 04, 2010: (positive) "We enjoyed this farm because you have one fee. $12.00 per person but you can go on as many hayrides, through the corn maze, see the animal farm, the kids can use the bounce house and do and see many other things for no extra cost. The only extra we had to pay was if we wanted to have a pony/horse ride or ride the moo train. Pumpkins are picked from the field where they are grown and still on the vines. Food stand has great farm oriented food and there is also a place you can buy old fashion candy and popcorn. Many hours can be spent there with lots to do. Great family place. Farm stand up front has a great selection of pumpkins/gourds/plants/holiday decorations/fruits and veggies and much more. Very clean stand and nice people. You can buy your pumpkins there if you don't want to pick your own"
  A visitor writes on September 29, 2010: (positive) "This farm is definately very family oriented. Refreshments available on site such as roasted corn, turkey legs, homebaked products, candy apples and much more things found at a farm festival."
  A visitor writes on September 18, 2010: (positive) "Visited the farm today (9/18/10) for the first day of the Fall Festival with my husband and 2 year old son. We all had a great time! I highly recommend this farm for a fall family outing. There was a $12 admission (my son was free) and it included the farm, corn maze, unlimited hayride, pumpkin slingshot and use of the picnic and playground area. My son loved feeding the animals. We also paid an add'l $2 to ride the "moo moo" train. The operator only charged us for our son and allowed my husband and I to ride for free. My son also got a free mini pumpkin on the hayride. The farm also offers a very large pick-your-own pumpkin field and the pumpkins are still attached to the vine. We picked 4 medium sized pumpkins and it cost us $20 bucks. Very reasonably priced but experience itself was priceless...it sure beats paying $5 bucks at a local supermarket for a pumpkin. We didn't try the corn maze but it was a very large course. There was also a market area that sold both food and fall decorations but we didn't get to check it out b/c our son was getting tired. The overall experience was A+. Maybe it's still early in the season but the farm was not crowded at all. The staff was very nice and courteous. Will definitely visit again. "
  A visitor writes on October 30, 2009: (positive) "I've been to Finks Farm and their pumpkins are in a pumpkin patch grown on the vine and the hayride goes way back behind their maze. The person who wrote that their pumpkins were placed in a fenced area and the corn cannon was closed must be mistaken. They must have visited another farm in the local area that offers almost the same as Finks. I've seen both. Finks has a seven acre corn maze that we were not able to go completely through. The guy in the tower had to show us the way out. The last entry sounds like sour grapes and wrong information. I would recomend Finks to all. 
  A visitor writes on October 25, 2009: (negative) "Pumpkins were not on the vine as advertised, just thrown together in a small fenced in area Hayride was about 1/8 of a mile and barely got away from the main area pumpkin slingshot was not available I won the corn canon and was awarded a rotted pumpkin the corn maze was through 4 foot corn stalks you could see over and they were dead and bare to make it even worse. The only good thing about this place was the kiddie area. Unfortunately we did not have kids so the experience was not that great for us. I would not recommend this farm."
  A visitor writes on October 05, 2009:  (positive) " Fink's farm is a great place for family fun, my two sons and my self had a blast , a must see :)"
  A visitor writes on October 03, 2009: (positive)  "Another person wrote that Finks does not advertise the admission price of $12.00 per person anywhere until you actually get there but that is actually false. The website is very informative and clears up any questions you may have. Also I called before I went and the answering machine also had a message about the admission fee. As long as you do your research you should be ok. It is a great place, great times for the whole family!"
  A visitor writes on September 25, 2009: (positive)  "Friendly people, clean facilities and a great day out for the family." 
  A visitor writes on September 25, 2009:  (positive) "They have a large you pick off the vines along with much more to do. Great time, lots to do. We will be going back."
  A visitor writes on October 15, 2008: (positive)  "My family loves this farm!! We had a great time. The people awesome! We spent 5 1/2 hours having real fun! The kids got to shoot corn, sling pumpkins, play on a real combine, rope calfs, feed the animals, and so so much more!! They actually have real pick your own pumpkins right off the vine! Everyone loved the kiddie train. The whole family got to go for a ride! The Hayride was great with music and dancing! The 7 acre corn maze was great. We will be coming back next year for sure."
  A visitor writes on October 12, 2008: (positive)  "My family came out, there was 14 of us..We had the best time. There is so much to do, the kids had the best time ever. You pay $12.00 and spend the day on hayrides, corn maze and so much more..The food was great, and the people were fantastic. Definitely worth a trip to see this farm.. Your kids will love it.."
  A visitor writes on October 09, 2008: "In rebuttal to the last comment posted, we are the owners of Fink's Country Farm. Our price list is listed on our website. The $12.00 general admission covers unlimited access for the day to hay rides, corn maze, animal farm, and playground area, which includes combine slide, tricycle track, calf roping, logic hay maze, cub house, corn tunnel, corn kernel box, and more. All children ages 2 and under are admitted FREE. We are sorry to hear that someone was unhappy with our operation; however, we have yet to have people leave without a smile. Sincerely, David & Michelle Fink"
  A visitor writes on October 06, 2008:  (negative) "This farm charges $12.00 to pick pumpkins. This is an admission fee that they don't advertise anywhere until you arrive with 6 adults and 2 kids wanting to pick pumpkins. They do not apply the admission fee to your purchase. It was very upsetting to arrive with Grndma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, Mom, Dad and two kids under 2 and be told to pay $72.00 just to walk in the field. Please let others know in advance before they drive all the way there. Thanks "
  A visitor writes on October 06, 2008:  (positive) "My family was there for hours..so much to do and so affordable. THE BEST Farm Festival in years!!! The staff was so nice and so patient with all the kids!! My daughter loved the animals and went on her first ponyride. We went on two hayrides, the kiddie train 3 times, went through the corn maze, picked pumpkins, had our faces painted and The Fall Western Photo center was a blast!!! Pictures and memories that will last a LIFETIME. Not to mention the food was great to. Homemade breads, corn right off the cob..We plan on going pack every year!!!! It was so nice seeing good wholesome fun! I heard they even offer Birthday party packages!!! THANK YOU FINK'S FARM!!!"
  A visitor writes on October 01, 2008: (positive)  "We just spent a fun filled day at Fink's pumpkin farm. This family has set up a great place! There was so much to do and we enjoyed it all... AND we went home with the best pumpkins I've seen in quite a while. We will definitley visit again :-) "
  A visitor writes on September 24, 2008: (positive)  "i just have to say i visited finks farm this past weekend. i cannot believe how much they have to do there. we were there for over 4 hours, from seeing all the animals, to feeding the goats by spinning a wheel, going through a corn maze, which i found out was mickey mouse on a tractor! the kids even took a ride on a kiddie train, which looks like a cow, slinging pumpkins, to air shooting corn! my kids loved playing in the corn kernels and on the combine slide. there is even a place to have lunch, get your face painted and have your fall photo taken, and as your ready to leave, you can purchase mums and decorations at the farmstand. this place was awesome, and the kids cannot wait to go back. oh yes and the best is, you can pick your own pumpkins off of a vine. now that is something you rarely see. i would def. recommend this to people because it has been massed email from my end!! hope you can enjoy like i did!!"

There is plenty to keep a toddler busy and happy. By far, the most enjoyable part for me was the area with goats and sheep and chickens and ducks. The goats and sheep were as friendly as a family dog. They were so clean one would think they had been to the spa. I could have forgotten to go pick pumpkins, eggplant and string beans because I was so busy with the goats and sheep! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will surely come again. So far, this was the most pleasant farm we have gone to. My compliments to the owners. "

  A visitor writes on October 12, 2010: "October 2010 - we went out to Windy Acres this past weekend, and I agree with the most recent comment that it was a disappointment this year. The farm animals were moved off way to one side...the horses were pretty, but they had a lot less animals this year and the kids couldn't touch/feed them (disappointment). The picnic tables and open play areas for the kids are still great - and the selection of pumpkins was great as always. The pies are still very pricey - $15.00 per pie (YIKES!), so needless to say we haven't tried them yet because they are just too expensive. As for apples - apple pickin is the best mid-late September at mostly all the farms. "
  A visitor writes on September 25, 2010: "I believe I was the one who first suggested these guys last year and last year they were great. Windy Acres was a total disappointment this year. Just got back from there. What was a fun petting zoo was now three sad horses, a cow and a donkey, none of which could be touched or fed. There were no apples and they said the season was over, but up the road at Lewin 's there were thousands of apples available. Most of what they had was trucked in from other places. In short, I wouldn 't rush back next year."
