Weekend Group Admission at Merrill Farm: Corn Mazes, Petting Zoos & Pumpkin Picking

Weekend Group Admission at the farm in Merrill, Wisconsin, offers a full day of hands-on agricultural fun and old-fashioned outdoor play. Located in Merrill, Wisconsin, United States, this group package runs selected weekends from 10 am to 5 pm and is designed for groups of 25 or more who want a blend of active play, low-key learning, and seasonal harvest ritual. The site’s headline attractions include a petting zoo of friendly barnyard animals, a maze cut through waist-high corn stalks, and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch that turns each visit into a scavenger hunt. Natural features are simple but satisfying: working farmlands, open hayfields, and the rough, loamy soil of central Wisconsin that supports rows of sweet corn and pumpkin vines. Kids and adults both can try old-school farm tasks—milking a cow under guidance, making a corn cob doll by hand, or stamping initials into a keepsake board—so the program doubles as an experiential history lesson about rural life. Interactive stations such as an old-fashioned laundry demo, ice cream-and-cider tastings, an apple slingshot, and a one-room schoolhouse add texture and photo ops. There’s a tire playground, a Grain Box for exploration, and a stacked Hay Mountain for climbing; these are tactile features that turn a single day into a handful of memorable moments. The farm’s layout keeps attractions close enough for casual supervision, making it especially friendly for multi-generational groups. Practical details matter: group general admission is $13 per person with a refundable $150 deposit required to reserve dates. Minimum group size is 25, and groups must pay in one transaction; weekend availability runs late April through Labor Day with possible special events in September and October. Check your junk mail for confirmations after booking. Why book this for a visit to Merrill? It’s an easy way to string together low-impact outdoor activity, seasonal harvest culture, and kid-focused learning in a single day. The experience connects visitors to the agricultural landscape of north-central Wisconsin and to traditions—handmade toys, milking demonstrations, cider tasting—that often disappear in urban life. For groups, the cost and included activities simplify planning: you arrive together, share one itinerary, and leave with photos, pumpkins, and a sense that everyone—young and old—had a day outdoors. This Weekend Group Admission turns a farm visit into a compact festival of rural craft, country games, and grain-scented afternoons. Families, school groups, and community organizations will find the rhythm of the day both organized and relaxed, a practical, playful way to spend a Wisconsin weekend. Bring sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and a camera; accessible options are limited, so plan for shade breaks and easy parking nearby. Group hosts can request information about dietary restrictions and special needs in advance before arrival on site.
