DISCOVER ARKANSAS’ LONGEST-RUNNING

PUMPKIN PATCH

Attractions

The maze at Pumpkin Hollow presents a challenging cornfield walk in the daylight hours, but navigating through endless cornfield paths by flashlight proves even more formidable. For evenings in the maze, bring your flashlight. Take an autumn hayride to the corn maze and try to solve the large 6 acre maze. Maze is available Mon. – Sat. 9-6 and Sun. 1-6. Also available on fright nights (see hours page).

This area includes tetherball, basketball, The SpiderWeb crawl, horseshoes, hopscotch, Pipe Riders, and more! Adults can rest under the shade tree while the kids run and play. The Super Mega Slide is located here as well.

The animals at Pumpkin Hollow are always a favorite attraction at the farm. Cheer on the goats as they walk the ramp to where you can feed the goats from the loft of the Kid’s Barn. Kids from 2 to 92 love the experience of animals eating oats from their hands and interacting up close and personal. Perfect place to snap photos!

The Friendly Forest was first opened in 2004. The kid-friendly playground in the woods is open during regular daytime hours. It is not available on Haunt Nights.

The Pumpkin Hollow Hayride is the perfect mode of transportation this fall. The hayride wagons are modified cotton wagons with high sides to prevent any accidental falls from the wagon. They are equipped with ramps or easy access steps. With assistance, at least one wagon is handicapped accessible. So, step back in time, and take a leisurely ride to the top of the hill.

Built in 2017, the big red Kid’s Barn is full of games and fun activities for kids of all ages. The barn also houses some of our favorite critters here on the Farm. Feed the chickens and goats from inside the barn or take a photo outside on our balcony overlooking the pumpkins and gourds

After a hayride to the top of the hill, burn some energy on the haystacks. Dig on Tire Mountain, feed the catfish and the ducks, make a trip back to the Friendly Forest, and grab your favorite flavor of shaved ice from the Maze Shack concessions.
Work your way down the hill and visit the pond slide then head on over to the Country Bumpkin Playground. The Corn Crib and the Duck Races are located on the west side of the Kid’s Barn.

Cross the bridge over Pomp Creek to find the Pumpkin Hollow Pony Ride. You’ll find five or six ponies on a carousel just waiting to give kids a fun ride. Hershey, Patches, Sweetie Pie, Rooster, and friends are managed by trained handlers, so come on over and enjoy a pony ride adventure! Don’t forget the camera for those once-in-a-lifetime photos. While you are close, don’t forget to hop on the next Hayride. (Pony rides are Saturdays and Sundays only).

You can catch a ride on the Pumpkin Hollow Kiddie Train (barrel train) ! This train ride is for small children and choo-choos its way around the area. (Saturday and Sundays only).

Everyone from 2 to 92 will want to catch a ride on our new Pumpkin Hollow Express Train as it tours around the farm past the corn maze, pumpkin patches, sunflower patch, and Christmas trees. Our engineer will inform and entertain as the train whistles along.

New in 2020, test out your skills on our 9 holes of daytime Pumpkin themed miniature golf on one side or go to the dark side for 9 holes of Horror in the Hollow themed miniature golf. Who are you kidding, you’re going to want to try them both!! Don’t like the scary stuff? Putt Putt is open on Haunt Nights too.

You can find more than admissions and tickets in the Pumpkin Hollow Store. Before you leave, don’t forget to spend some time in the store finding just the right size Pumpkin Hollow T-shirt, gourds and gourd crafts, Halloween novelties, souvenirs, honey, or maybe even some Pumpkin Butter.

Yard decor, we got it. Tabletop decor, we got it. We have mums of all colors, gourds, painted gourd birdhouses, cornstalks, giant pumpkins to bitty pumpkins, ornamental pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. Need to bake a pumpkin pie–we have old-fashioned cow pumpkins for that too!

We have a one acre patch of sunflowers that makes for the perfect photo backdrop. Sunflowers may be purchased (cut your own) for $2 per flower.

Pumpkin Hollow is the mid-south’s leading commercial grower of hard-shell gourds. At the Pumpkin Hollow site is a huge gourd trellis where varieties of gourds are growing. It is an amazing sight to see the extra long handled dipper gourds, Indonesian bottle gourds, short handled dipper gourds and others hanging from the tall “ceilings” of the trellis. Dried gourds from the previous year’s crop are available in the pumpkin sales area or Pumpkin Hollow Store.
