Every October, Tolmachoff Farms holds its annual Pumpkin Days & Corn Maze harvest festival.
As soon as autumn arrives, Arizona families near and far start looking forward to all the festive fun. You'll find the farm on North 75th Avenue in Glendale.
As far as the eye can see, pumpkins of all shapes, colors, and sizes are waiting to be taken home.
Ranging from gourds to great big jack-o-lanterns, rest assured that every member of the family will find their perfect fit. Nobody leaves the patch empty-handed!
In keeping with classic fall tradition, the farm features a six-acre corn maze suitable for all ages.
The theme changes yearly, so you never know what to expect. Although even the littlest ghouls and goblins are welcome to wade through the stalks, there's also a special mini-maze designed just for them.
Other activities include a train ride, petting zoo, jumping pillow, and so much more.
October hours are 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday & Thursday, 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. On November 1, the farm will be open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. with ticket sales ending at 4 p.m.
Don't forget to take advantage of the photo-ops scattered across the grounds!
The memories you'll make are ones sure to last a lifetime. Admission to the farm is $15 per person, which includes the corn mazes, petting zoo, play areas, and jumping pillow. Additional costs apply for pumpkins, the train ride, food vendors, and tomato cannon.
If you're looking for a scare, stick around after dark. That's when the otherwise innocent corn maze transforms into the Field of Screams.
Every season brings with it a new and terrifying legend. This year, the corn was planted over a cemetery with graves so old, not a single headstone remained.
Now, the dead are back to seek revenge on those who used their burial ground for profit.
Can you make it out before it's too late? Field of Screams takes place from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. on the remaining Fridays and Saturdays in October. Tickets are $25 each.
