About Harvest Moon Acres
Harvest Moon Acres is a fall corn maze and fun park on M-40 north of Gobles in Van Buren County, about halfway between Kalamazoo and the lakeshore. One ticket covers the day: the giant corn maze, a hayride that loops twenty acres, the pumpkin patch, a Fun Zone of games and a slingshot shootout, and an animal barn with goats, rabbits, tortoises and chickens.
In 2026 the season ran from September 19 to November 1. The park opens Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. On October Fridays and Saturdays, Flashlight Nights run from 6 to 9 p.m., when the maze and hayride go on in the dark. Weekdays are for booked groups and private events. Plan on about 45 minutes in the maze and 20 minutes on the hayride; your wristband is good all day.
Donuts, cider and other concessions are sold at the stand, and you can buy them, and pumpkins from the pumpkin yard, without an admission wristband. The terrain is mostly accessible, with sandy maze paths early in the season that pack down by October, though the hayride cannot take strollers or wheelchairs. Only leashed service animals are allowed.
Shades of Lavender Farm near Mattawan is about 9 miles south. Visit it for summer lavender, then plan a fall weekend here.
