Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes Near Youngstown 2026: Hours, Prices and Last Days

There's still time to get out to a farm this fall, but the calendar is getting short. A couple of the Valley's favorite pumpkin patches wrap up this Sunday, Oct. 25, most of the rest close on Halloween, and only a handful make it to Sunday, Nov. 1. Here's where you can still pick a pumpkin, run a corn maze or grab cider and donuts near Youngstown, with the hours and prices each farm posted for 2026.

At a glance

Drive times are rough estimates from downtown Youngstown.

Detwiler Farm (Columbiana)

Detwiler has been in the same family since 1838, and it's about as classic as it gets: you hop on a hay wagon, ride out to the field and pick your own pumpkin off the vine. It's at 4520 Renkenberger Rd., just off Route 46.

• When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., through Sunday, Oct. 25. The farm says it won't be open on Halloween.
• Price: $7 a person (2 and under free) covers the hayride to the patch, a 4-acre cornfield maze, a straw maze, the tractor tire playground and the petting zoo. Pumpkins are 45 cents a pound.
• This weekend: WFMJ lists a Pumpkin SMASH on Oct. 24 and 25, a separate $7 that gets you three pumpkins to smash with hammers, mallets and bats.
• Timing tip: Wagons leave about every 15 minutes, and the last one goes out at 4:45 p.m.

White House Fruit Farm (Canfield)

For a lot of Valley families, fall means a bag of White House donuts and a jug of cider. The farm at 9249 State Route 62 (Youngstown-Salem Road) has been farmed by the same family since 1815, and apples are its main crop. The last Fall Harvest Weekend is Oct. 24–25.

More Ohio farms worth the drive

The maze and play area are $6 for ages 4 and up. The market (closed Mondays) will keep selling picked apples through the new year.

Pennsylvania farms for a bigger day out

Irons Mill Farmstead (New Wilmington, Pa.)

This is less a pumpkin patch and more a giant farm playground: 150 acres and 40-plus attractions, including jumping pillows, a hay castle, slides, a zip line, a corn maze and pig and duck races on weekends. It's at 252 Greenfield Rd. Day passes run $16–$27 depending on the day, and kids 2 and under and adults 80 and up are free. You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks. The ticket page says the season goes through the first weekend of November, so check the calendar at ironsmill.com for exact hours before you head out.

Coolspring Ranch (Mercer, Pa.)

Right off I-79 near I-80 at 537 Franklin Rd., in its 22nd season. There's a 12-acre corn maze, the Double Mega Slide, hayrides and a pumpkin patch, and you can meet Miss Tillie the Highland cow. Open through Sunday, Nov. 1: Fridays 4–10 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m.–10 p.m., Sundays 10 a.m.–8 p.m. Visit Mercer County lists general admission at $15 (2 and under free), and some attractions take extra tokens. You don't need a ticket just to shop or buy pumpkins.

Cheeseman Farm (Portersville, Pa.)

A simple, old-school pumpkin festival at 147 Kennedy Rd. Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.–5 p.m. through closing day, Saturday, Oct. 31. The hayride to the patch is $5 (2 and under ride free with an adult), and pumpkins are 50 cents a pound. Get to the barn by 4:45 p.m. to make the last ride.

Tips before you go

• Go this weekend if you can. Oct. 24–25 is the last chance for Detwiler and White House's Fall Harvest Weekends, and next weekend will be crowded with Halloween stuff.
• Wear boots. Pumpkin fields and corn mazes get muddy fast after rain.
• Check social media that morning. Every farm here can close or cut activities for bad weather.
• Bring a little cash. Some small add-ons are cash only. White House Fruit Farm's Budgie Barn ($3), for one.
• Make it a full day. Pair a morning at the farm with a trunk-or-treat or a haunted hayride that night.
