Adventure Farms SC is ranked #1 on this list, located at 4593 SC-70, Barnwell, SC, 29812. It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 249 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near Barnwell.

Most pumpkin patches share a similar core visit regardless of what's formally listed: a field or lot of pumpkins priced individually or by weight, sometimes reached by a short wagon ride, with an extra attraction like a corn maze or animal area running at many farms in season.
What's actually open on a given day depends on the week and the weather, so the listing above is a starting point rather than the full picture.
Based on its public listing, Adventure Farms SC is typically open Friday 5:30-8:30PM, Saturday 5:30-8:30PM. Pumpkin patch hours shift often during the season — expect longer hours the two or three weekends around mid-October and shorter, sometimes weekend-only hours toward either end of the season — so treat this as a strong starting point rather than a guarantee.
Admission pricing isn't listed for Adventure Farms SC 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.

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