Private Sunflower Maze Picnic at Ward's

Ward's Sunflower Maze in Sharon, Massachusetts is a short, sunlit detour from suburban life where row upon row of towering heads tilt toward the sky. The Sunflower Maze Private Picnic pairs a scenic round-trip hayride and maze entry with 45 minutes in a carved-out picnic hideaway among the blooms, perfect for small celebrations, dates, or family afternoons.

At the heart of the experience is the maze itself: thousands of sunflowers planted across a working farm that attract bees, butterflies, and relentless photo attention. Guests check in at the Pick Your Own Tent, board a hayride that winds across fields, and are escorted to a private clearing with a wooden picnic table, umbrella, and linens. The picnic reservation costs $60 for the table; admission is $20 per person and required for ages two and up. Reservations are limited to six people and the picnic time begins thirty minutes after the printed ticket time to allow for transit by hayride.

Bring a picnic you love or preorder one of Ward’s curated Picnic Boxes—options range from a Sunrise Breakfast Box to a Blossom Graze Board and celebration beverages—available with at least 24 hours’ notice. The setting is intentionally unadorned: natural soil, uneven ground, active pollinators, open sky and the honest scent of cut stems. That keeps the visit authentic and keeps the acreage productive for crops.

Safety and timing matter. The farm closes at 7:00 PM; arrive promptly or risk losing part of your reserved slot. Children must be supervised and pets are not permitted. Guests with insect-sting allergies should bring medication; bees and other pollinators are active during bloom.

Why book this over a standard picnic? The route—the hayride through working fields and a dedicated picnic hideaway tucked inside the maze—turns a simple meal into an event. Photographers prize the vertical rows, bold yellow canvases, and the way late-afternoon light backs the petals. For small groups seeking a low-effort celebration with agricultural character, it’s an efficient, feel-good option within easy reach of Boston.

Find it in Sharon, Massachusetts. Exact meeting instructions will be on your ticket; check the Pick Your Own Tent at or before your scheduled time. This seasonal escape rewards punctuality, light planning, and a willingness to sit on slightly uneven ground while the sunflowers work their quiet, golden charm.

Plan to combine the visit with other seasonal farm activities: berry picking, market stalls, or a stroll through adjacent fields if open that day. The operation runs with a tight schedule during peak bloom, so book early on weekends and holidays. Bring sunscreen, a lightweight blanket for extra seating, and an appetite for pleasures. For groups celebrating milestone events, prepaid graze boards and cold beverages make the outing feel effortless.
