Inside: Just a short drive from Charleston, West Farm in Moncks Corner is calling your family’s name this October! Get the scoop on all the things to do at the farm.
Ready for a day full of corn mazes, bumpy hayrides, animal cuddles, and pumpkin memories your kids will definitely talk about all season long?
West Farm in Moncks Corner, SC is one of those places where families return year after year—and for good reason. It’s fun, affordable, and packed with things to do, whether you’re visiting on a weekday or soaking up the extra weekend fun.
Let’s dive into everything waiting for your family this fall!
Two Corn Mazes to Choose From
Corn mazes at West Farm come in two sizes:
- Big Maze: A 7.5-acre West Farm-themed adventure with about 3 miles of twists and turns—perfect for your older kids or teens who want a challenge.
- Kid Maze: A 0.4-mile mini maze designed for littler adventurers. The shorter maze is perfect for kids 8 and under.
Both are just the right amount of fun (and a little bit of “are we lost?”) before moving on to the next big activity.
Hay Rides, Corn Pits & Bubble Zones
After conquering the maze, it’s time for the hay ride—a bumpy, breezy ride around the fields and into the woods on a tractor-drawn wagon. It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and exciting for all ages.
Then it’s off to the play area, where your kids will find:
- A hay bale maze for more mini-adventures
- Tire piles to jump in
- Corn pits to roll around and make corn angels in (this is a favorite!)
- Bubble zones, swings, yard games, and even a Tire Climb challenge
“The corn pit is where you can find my children most of the day. They love making ‘corn angels’ and play for an hour at least each time we visit.”
We love when play is hands-on and just a little messy—this is the spot for it.
Say Hello to the Animals
The Farm Zoo is always a hit, with friendly animals like:
- Goats
- Pigs
- Cows
- Chickens
- And sometimes even alpacas or donkeys!
Kids can pet, feed, and interact with the animals at their own pace. It’s a sweet, low-key way to learn and connect with the farm life.
Apple Slingshot, Barrel Train & Photo Spots
Visiting on the weekend? You’re in for some extra fun!
Apple Slingshot (Fridays after 5 PM + all day Sat/Sun): $2 for 3 tries. Aim for the target and win a prize!
“This is SO fun! Last season we hit the target and won a West Farms shirt.”
Barrel Train: A cute, bumpy ride kids adore—also available weekends only.
Photo Areas: West Farm is full of backdrops and cutouts perfect for fall family photos.
“We always make sure to stop at all the backdrops to take a favorite fall photo of the kids.”
Bring your camera (and maybe a bribe for one last sibling photo before you leave).
The Pumpkin Barn & Decorating Station
No fall day is complete without a pumpkin! At West Farm’s Pumpkin Barn, the Wilson family grows and displays beautiful pumpkins throughout the farm. You can:
- Pick one to take home
- Purchase a sticker pack and decorate it right there on the farm
- Snap a photo with your masterpiece in front of the colorful displays
It’s a great way to cap off the visit and bring a little fall home with you.
Food, Snacks & a Picnic Spot to Refuel
You don’t have to go far to refuel!
- Snack Bar has juice boxes, soft drinks, trail mix, chips, candy bars, and more—all at friendly prices.
- Food Trucks join the fun on weekends, with favorite local vendors serving up delicious meals and treats.
- Picnic Area is available if your family prefers to pack your own lunch or take a break in the shade.
Everyone stays happy and full, which means you can stay and play even longer.
