Tips For Your Visit

Buy Season Passes to our Farm to Save Money! You can buy a season’s pass starting May 1st and use it August-October to get the most bang for your buck. As the season goes on more attractions will open and multiple festivals will take place. Your season pass will be valid for all of these events and all attractions will be open seven days a week, typically starting mid-September! Limited attractions will begin typically mid-August.
Come Early in the Season for Less Crowds! Opening weekend of all our attractions this year is September 13th, 2025. The earlier in the season you come, the fewer people at the farm.
Expect Crowds and Be Patient on October Weekends! October weekends are always the busiest weekends (on every farm, not just ours). If you come these weekends, pack extra patience and be prepared for lines.
Arrive Early to Your Fire Pit! If you have booked your fire pit for the month of October, plan to arrive two hours prior to your fire. Traffic and parking can take quite a while!
The Earlier You Buy Your Pumpkin, the Longer it Could Last! Did you know that your pumpkins will keep for months as long as they don’t freeze or aren’t cut into? Bob’s girls have had pumpkins in their bedrooms until March! Another reason to come early and avoid the crowds.
Coming Earlier in the Season Means Better Weather! No matter what, we are open rain or shine…put on your rain boots and join the fun!
Weekday Fire Pits are Cheaper and Less Busy! Did you know you can book fire pits on weekdays for a cheaper rental rate and to avoid the crowds? You can start booking your fires on May 1st. Many people book early so don’t wait! Visit www.bobscorn.com/Bonfires for more details or navigate to our fire pit page.
We are open DAILY! If you want to avoid big crowds and save a few dollars, come on weekdays. Farm admission is 50% off for veterans/military with ID and those 55 and older.
We Have Facilities for Changing and Feeding your Baby! Come use our “Milk house” and baby changing station located next to Bobby’s back 40! Two semi-private nursing rooms with rocking chairs and 2 indoor changing stations make it a bit easier to keep your baby out of the elements on those crisp fall days.
Bring Flashlights or Glow Sticks for the Night Maze! Our Night Maze is done in the dark with minimal tiki torches at the front tent and halfway point. You may want to bring a flashlight or glow stick for a little more light. If you get stuck, no need to worry! Our Night Maze is filled with corn cops ready to help. Our Night Maze runs Fridays and Saturdays for the month of October. Last maze admission on Friday and Saturday nights is at 9:30 p.m.!
Wear Rain Boots if the Weather Has Been Rainy! If it has rained within a few days of your visit, the chances of there being mud on the farm is high. Wear mud boots and bring clean shoes in a grocery bag and keep them in your car. When you are done, put your muddy boots in the bag and put on your clean shoes. Then you won’t make a muddy mess in your car! (Pro Tip: If you forget to do this, simply turn your floor mats over and the muddy boots will only touch the plastic backing of your mats which can easily be rinsed off).
You Can Walk to The Pumpkin Patch Rather Than Take Our Hayride! After 35 years of sitting dormant we have reopened our cattle pass that goes UNDER the road and straight into the fields! Bring your walking shoes and enjoy the scenery! The walking path is to the right of the hayrides on the lower side of the fence for Bobby’s Back 40.
Be Aware that Sunny Day = More People! Keep an eye on the weather forecast. Sunny weekends are very busy on the farm, especially since we get a lot of rain in Washington! This means you should expect longer than usual lines and extra cars in the parking lot. Just know we do our best to facilitate the crowds on beautiful weekends!
If it’s raining, wear good rain boots and a raincoat. Umbrellas aren’t the best option, especially in our maze.
If you have limited mobility or aren’t steady on your feet, please know that the maze is slippery when it rains. The lower fields have more of a clay soil that, when mixed with rain, turns into slippery, cake-batter mud. Cleats can help you with traction on those muddy days!
NO pets allowed at all. Only certified service animals!
