Jumbo’s Pumpkin Patch and Crazy Corn Maze

BEST farm in the area! I’ve visited probably every one that has some sort of fall festivities, and this one beats them all by far! First of all, there is no admission fee, which is a departure from most of the other farms in the vicinity. That doesn’t mean they’re missing any action, though. They have the necessary basics, a great hayride into an expansive field of pumpkins to pick and a large store with gourds and other food and craft items, and a corn maze that’s neither too difficult nor too easy (which is perfect).
Even without the admission fee, prices are right on-​par with other farms as far as pumpkin pricing goes (.45/​lb), and even late in the month there were plenty of immaculate pumpkins to choose from in the field. This will definitely be my go-​to farm from now on when I take my annual trip to western MD for autumn fun.

This place is worth the hour or so drive from DC. They have a small petting zoo that has a few cows, pigs, goats and pony rides for kids. The star here is the corn maze and this thing is no joke. I’ve never been to one before and figured I’d be in and out in 10 minutes. No comment on how I did but I did manage to accidentally find the emergency exit twice and realized the observation tower just shows you a sea of corn. Once you finally escape the corn maze, you can get a pumpkin in the nearby patch and buy some tasty peach preserves and a bunch of other stuff at the general store. My groupon gave me a corn maze ticket, $ 5 pumpkin credit, and a $ 5 snack credit I used on a tasty caramel apple. If you have a groupon, head to the back barn to redeem it.
This place is worth checking out if you want to check out a corn maze, I had a fun time and would come back next year to see if I can do a little better on that maze!

Went for the 1^st time, and had a great time. There was something for everyone. Plenty of parking, and some tasty treats. The deep fried Oreos were great! Everyone was so friendly, which was awesome. This will definitely be on our list to do again next fall!

This was tons of fun even for adults who are kids at heart! The drive from DC to Middletown during this time of year is gorgeous — the highway is lined with tall, colorful trees. There is even a ‘scenic view’ exit on the way (clustered towers of Frederick), which we stopped at for a few minutes. I suggest going earlier in the day to avoid traffic.
If you buy the groupon, once you get there you check-​in to the «kids barn» and are told that a hayride will take you to two stops: the corn maze and then the pumpkin patch. You get off at the corn maze and go through it to find the pumpkin patch (don’t worry — you will find your way), and then take a hayride back to the main shop. You won’t feel out of place and only among children, there are people of all ages.
We picked several pumpkins which ended up costing around $ 17. (49 cents a lb sounds cheap until you weigh huge pumpkins). They also sell pie pumpkins (which are SO cute and tiny!) for a cheap price in the store so you can get those if you’re not into carving pumpkins. Just ask a staff member to help you if you can’t find them.
It was my first time doing something like this and I highly enjoyed it. Great fun, cheap date idea. Food-​wise they have fried food typical of country fairs: funnel cake, fried oreos, mozzarella sticks, hamburgers and hotdogs.

Jumbo’s Pumpkin Patch hit all gears for us… Great Time! Great People! You guys Rock!

Came her again for a third year in a row and they don’t cease to impress. We even got the golden pumpkin this year (Yay) and my brother was super happy (he’s 12).
The one thing I recommend and why I am bumping this review down to 4 stars is if we park at the entrance, don’t make us walk all the way to the back to check in. If you want people to walk through the farm and see their options, put the hay ride pickup at he back. It’s also safer that way since it won’t be in the middle and you won’t have to keep an eye on stray kids from the parking lot and the farm.
The corn maze was amazing as always, I love getting lost in it. This year they created a cheaters way out and I saw tons of people using it. In my opinion, you should charge them for taking the easy way out because they’re not having any fun.
I love the fact the livingsocial deal is $ 20 and we get $ 20 off pumpkins. I understand we obviously will spend more and that’s how they make their money, but this place knows how to show it.
The snacks are a little overpriced, but maybe you’re getting what you pay for. I liked em last year and will go get something again in a few minutes.
It doesn’t matter is you’re 2 months, 2 years, 12 years, 20 years or 80 years old, you’ll have a great time here.
Here are a few more recommendations that you can do that would be a lot of fun:
1. Competitive games (kids only, different age groups), with prizes (free entry, top 3 get pumpkins, food, free horse rides, whatever.
2. A place to train and try some farming tools (charge a nominal fee).
3. Valet parking (I love the fact parking is free, I’ll pay for valet parking).

Had an amazing time here! We drank hot cider, ate funnel cakes, got lost in the corn maze and picked pumpkins. Had a blast with the gals!
Plenty of fun for the kids. I plan to return here next year with my 3 year old niece for an auntie’s day out. She’d love this!
I recommend that you check the weather first. We totally underestimated how chilly it was going to be and ended up huddled together for the first half of the trip lol.

Jumbo’s is our fall family tradition. Ever since I was a young little lady, my mother, sister, and I have raced through the corn maze and picked the perfect pumpkins.
What once started as a small operation has grown into quite the experience! From snacks and crafts to petting zoos and birthday parties, Jumbo’s has thought of it all. This is a must-​do if you have children, I promise they will love it! No kids? Come anyway. You will have fun.

Great family fun place. Friendly staff. Activities include, face pairing, pony rides, small petting zoo and a corn maze. Hay rides to the large pumpkin patch.
Great hot Cider! Mediocre food which they start to run out of. Made to order funnel cakes. Cute craft shop. Small playground was an added bonus.
My daughter really enjoyed herself.

Jumbo’s is a fun family oriented place to spend a few hours. Admission and parking are free but activities can add up fast so if you see a Groupon, jump on it. The one I bought said it included a $ 5 snack bar credit but it was actually $ 5 per person, as well as $ 5/​person credit for pumpkins and the corn maze.
The corn maze isn’t too challenging– even after a few wrong turns it only took about 20 – 30 minutes to find our way out. The pumpkin patch is pretty large and I enjoyed looking for the perfect pumpkin. If that’s not your thing, there are plenty of pre-​picked pumpkins near the entrance you can purchase. The petting zoo is small but cool.
2 complaints: first, the funnel cakes aren’t made to order so they’re served cold. Who wants a cold funnel cake? Second, there are a few bad parents running around, i.e. letting their kids push to the front of lines without correcting them. So annoying.

Upon arrival, I was not impressed. I did not see any huge slides or children running a muck. ****I was so wrong!**** This is not a commercialized patch like pumpkinville or the others… you can actually FEEL the difference. The prices are reasonable and everyone is super friendly. The maze is awesome and there is a REAL pumpkin patch on site! The kids had a blast picking their very own pumpkins off of the vine :) Finally, the small park is a really nice added touch. The kids had a blast playing and having good, old school fun.
I am pretty sure Jumbo’s will become our new fall, family-​fun staple in our family–

We love Jumbo’s! This is a real pumpkin patch, beautiful rural setting and not so commercialized as places such as Pumpkinville in Leesburg (walking around a pumpkin patch, don’t expect to be looking at a subdivision) or Cox Farms in Centreville (admission fee there is ridiculous). No admission fee, everything is so much more reasonably priced than anywhere else we’ve been. My kids love the farm animals and the play area. All the people are very friendly, we visit every year.

Going on year 15. One of my most favorite days of the year. Thanks Jumbo’s! I also get a jump on holiday shopping in the craft and gift barns.

Lots of fun to be had at the corn maze, picking out your pumpkin and checking out the baby farm animals! The store has a fun variety of caramel corn and jams as well. My only complaint was it was hard to tell where you get your tickets for the corn maze and where you are supposed to go at first.
