Bowling Family Farms is one of the farms we track with a hayride, which typically means hayrides run on a loop from the barn out to the pumpkin field, typically ten to twenty minutes, and at many farms they are the only way to reach the picking field at all. some are free with admission, some are a few doll…
Based on its public listing, Bowling Family Farms is typically open Monday 11AM-7PM, Tuesday 11AM-7PM, Wednesday 11AM-7PM, Thursday 11AM-7PM, Friday 11AM-7PM, Saturday 11AM-7PM, Sunday 11AM-7PM.

Admission pricing isn't listed for Bowling Family Farms 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 Bowling Family Farms 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.

Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
