Trail & Path Info

Things to See & Do

The Farm Stand offers great food, veggies, fruit, and more throughout the year.

The animal area (some call it a petting zoo) is a lot of fun to walk through. You can purchase food for the animals at the main farm stand.

During the fall season, you will find a great pumpkin patch, corn maze, tractor pulled hay rides, maze stalks and more!

On fall weekends one wristband covers the pick-your-own pumpkin patch, the petting zoo, hayrides, barrel rides, the corn maze and mini hay-bale mazes, the bounce house and the kids' activities, which include face painting and pumpkin bowling. Pumpkins are sold by the pound. The petting zoo's goats, cows, alpacas, sheep, ducks, pigs and turkey are there to pet, feed and photograph from April through December.

Trip Ideas

We know many people that make a trip to Atlantic Farms each fall season to visit the animals, take a hay ride and purchase a pumpkin or 2. While in the area, they stop in at Hinck's Turkey Farm (more info ) for some great food, or even head to Allaire State Park or the Historic Allaire Village.

Admission & Guidelines

There is a charge to walk through most of the animal farm area, and take part in seasonal activities like the corn maze and hay rides. Petting zoo admission is $6 per person and a bag of feed is $3, with children 12 months and under free; outside food for the animals is not allowed. On fall weekends from mid-September through October 31, a wristband is required for entry and covers the pumpkin patch, petting zoo, hayrides, barrel rides, mazes, bounce house and kids' activities. The farm's fall page listed wristbands at $16 per person when checked in October 2026, with children 12 months and under free; pumpkins are extra, priced by the pound. Prices are subject to change.

Pets are not allowed, for the safety of the farm's animals and yours, but service dogs are welcome.

Hours / Season of Operation

The farm is open every day from 10 AM to 5 PM, and the market and petting zoo are open from April through December. Fall activities start in mid-September, with wristbands required on weekends through October 31. Christmas trees, wreaths and holiday decor are sold through Christmas Eve.

Facilities

On the Atlantic Farms property, you will find a farmstand (to purchase all their great food), a farm/animal area (sometimes called the petting zoo/farm), a large pumpkin patch and field, ample parking for special events, and more.

Birthday parties get a private area with five picnic tables, and class trips use the farm's picnic area. In fall a bounce house, a corn maze and mini hay-bale mazes are set up for the season.

Parking

There is a parking lot in front of the main farm stand. During larger events, they open up parking along a field just next to the farmstand. We know some people also park in the Hinck's Turkey Farm (more info ) parking lot, but we would ask that if you do this, please patronize and don't just use them for their parking lot :)
