“Fewer crowds mean more fun for everyone.”
Portland Tribune, October 2023
Why we think paid admission makes more sense
We love the fall harvest, but we are not fans of big crowds and long lines. A few years ago, we introduced paid admission for the five busy fall weekends to reduce crowding. The result was better than we’d hoped for! Everyone had more fun — especially families with small kids. No overcrowding, shorter lines, and an all-around better experience. Hayrides and mazes are included with admission making it a great deal. Now, in our third year of admission weekends, we’re excited to continue the tradition for 2025!

“Admission to Topaz Farm's fall fest is an effort to reduce crowding and maximize fun—much better than waiting ages at the tire swing or hitting a backup in the sunflower maze!”
