Hazelmere Pumpkins and Fall Activities

The Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch is a popular place for young families in the fall. In October it has a field of pumpkins and a corn maze for children to explore. The place has a number of play structures for kids to play on including tractors, a fire engine and a boat.

Hazelmere also has farm animals for people to admire. You can even go inside some of their enclosures. When we went, there were bunnies, piglets and goats.

When and Where is the Pumpkin Patch?

In 2024 the pumpkin patch runs from September 21st through to October 30th. The place is open to the public daily in October, as well as on the last two weekends of September.

On Mondays to Fridays it’s open from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays it’s open from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm.

Gabriel Farms and its pumpkin patch are located at 1958-184th Street in Surrey. It’s between Darts Hill Garden Park and Campbell Valley Regional Park (and less than a 10-minute drive from both).

Admission to Hazelmere is $10 for everyone on weekends, except for kids under 2, who get in for free. Admission is $7.50 on weekdays.

With the cost of admission, folks get access to the pumpkin patch, wagon rides, farm animals, mini corn maze for kids and the children’s play areas. The pumpkins cost extra if you want to bring any home.

Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch Activities

As expected from the name, the centrepiece of Gabriel Farms in the fall is the pumpkin patch. If you’re looking to make a jack-o-lantern, bake a pie or otherwise want a pumpkin, there’s a whole field of them available at Hazelmere.

Pumpkin harvesting isn’t the only thing to do at the farm. One of the other main activities is the Hazelmere Corn Maze. This maze definitely isn’t the biggest one around. It’s more for very young children. Those older can still have fun with it though, and there’s no extra cost (as with all the other activities).

In 2019 Hazelmere had a Haunted Corn Maze for a week near the end of October. This ran in the evenings and included actors that looked to spook attendees. It doesn’t appear that there’s been a Haunted Corn Maze in the last few years.

There is also a petting zoo open to visitors. The biggest section is the goat pen which includes many young goats. There are other animals like bunnies and pigs as well. In addition to the animals and the corn maze, there are also some play areas for the young ones.

Other Times to Visit the Farm

The fall is not the only time that Gabriel Farms is open to visitors. In the spring, there is a seasonal opening of the animal areas as that’s when a lot of babies are born. The animals and an expanded play area make this a nice time to visit.

In addition, on select dates during the summer the farm opens for viewings of its sunflowers. You can walk through thousands of flowers and also check out the corn maze (with the option to buy some fresh corn for yourself).

Both the spring and summer openings cost $7.50 for admission. There is also a Summer Farm Camp for children.
