Hours aren't listed for South River Farm, LLC in our data. Most pumpkin patches run daily or weekends-only from mid-September through the first days of November, but the surest way to know is to call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive out. Admission pricing isn't listed for South River Farm, LLC either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. Payment methods aren't listed, and a meaningful share of family-run patches are cash-only for field admission and wagon rides even when the farm store takes cards — bringing some cash as backup avoids an awkward trip back to the car at the gate.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for South River Farm, LLC can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best haunted attraction at a pumpkin patch in Virginia?
Based on rating and review volume, South River Farm, LLC ranks first among the haunted attractions we track in Virginia, with a 4.8-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its full listing for hours and directions.
Are farm haunted attractions ticketed separately from daytime admission?
Almost always, yes. Haunted hayrides, haunted corn mazes and haunted trails run in the evening — usually Friday and Saturday from late September — on a separate ticket from the daytime pumpkin patch, and frequently on a different visit entirely rather than the same trip.
Are these haunted attractions appropriate for young kids?
It varies far more than at a commercial haunted house. Some are mild walk-throughs suitable for ten-year-olds; others involve actors who make contact and carry a minimum recommended age. Ask the farm directly what age they recommend and whether actors touch guests before booking for a family with young children.
Do I need to buy tickets in advance?
Many farms have moved to timed entry to control lines, especially on the two weekends before Halloween, when queues run longest. Check the farm's own site for whether tickets are timed and buy ahead if a specific night matters to you.
When do these haunted attractions run?
Typically evenings only, Friday and Saturday from late September through Halloween weekend, separate from the farm's regular daytime hours. Check the listings above or the farm's own site for the current schedule, since haunt nights are more limited than regular pumpkin-patch hours.
