Greendale Acres in October: when a weekday visit costs less

A weekday online ticket is listed at $17, compared with $22 online on October weekends and holidays. Choose a date first, then budget for entry and anything you buy. The October schedule runs through November 1.

A maze afternoon or just a pumpkin?

Greendale makes the most sense when the maze and play areas are the reason for going. If you only want a pumpkin to carve, an admission ticket changes the cost of that errand. Start by choosing the kind of afternoon your group wants, then compare the weekday and weekend totals.

Choose your day before buying

The farm’s October schedule lists Monday and Tuesday 2 to 8 p.m., Wednesday to Friday 2 to 9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. October 23 has special 10 a.m. opening. These are farm hours, not a promise that every activity runs until the last minute. Thanksgiving’s special hours have already passed.

Decide whether it fits your group

The advantage is several activities in one place. It makes more sense if your group wants the maze, play areas and time outdoors. If you only need a pumpkin, compare a simple produce stop first. Do not treat the admission price as a complete food-and-shopping budget.

The operator recommends advance online tickets to guarantee October weekend entry. Dogs are welcome on leash. Bring clothes suited to an outdoor farm and check the weather before setting out. Booked entry does not turn a wet field into an indoor attraction.

The cost question matters

A September 15, 2026 Chilliwack Reddit discussion asked for fall ideas after finding another farm expensive. Several people liked Greendale’s maze. Another favoured a smaller pumpkin patch because bigger farms cost more. Those are different kinds of outings, so compare what you want to do rather than assuming every pumpkin stop needs a full admission ticket.

Greendale or Petey’s is a choice of outing

An October 9, 2026 comparison gives the price table some useful company. One visitor who liked both farms described Greendale as the bigger, more polished activity outing, with several play areas and food choices. They described Petey’s as a more homey pumpkin-focused visit. Two other replies simply chose Greendale. That is a small conversation, not a survey, but it helps explain why a family might happily pay admission at one farm and still choose another when pumpkin picking is the main goal.

The same autumn question came up in October 2025, when a visitor wanted a wet-weather plan without museums or breweries. Replies included cafes and downtown browsing as well as Halloween mazes. You do not have to buy a farm ticket to have an autumn afternoon. On the other hand, a group that wants a maze and several play stops should compare the whole outing rather than only the cost of a pumpkin.

What the weekday saving looks like

For four visitors who all need ordinary admission, weekday online entry totals $68. Weekend online entry totals $88, a $20 difference before food, pumpkins or other spending. Buying those same four weekday tickets at the gate totals $80. These are simple calculations from the posted per-person rates. Ages two and under and visitors aged 75 and over have free admission, so count your group before multiplying.

A weekday visit starts at 2 p.m. under the regular October timetable. That can suit an after-school outing, but it gives less daytime than a Saturday opening at 10 a.m. Choose the hours your group will actually use. The lower ticket is good value only if the shorter visit still leaves time for the activities you came for.
