Great Life Farm
Great Life Farm in New Carlisle takes the top spot, rated 5.0 out of 5 from 37 reviews. Visitors come here for corn maze and kids play area.
9055 S Palmer Rd, 45344
Corn mazeKids play areaGreat Life Farm is ranked #1 on this list, located at 9055 S Palmer Rd, New Carlisle, OH, 45344. It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 37 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near New Carlisle. Beyond the pumpkin field itself, it's tagged for corn maze and kids play area, so there's usually more to a visit than just picking a pumpkin and heading home.
Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for Great Life Farm yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. In the farm's own words: "Seasonal farm, play area and corn maze for picking your own pumpkins." Great Life Farm is one of the farms we track with a corn maze, which typically means a corn maze is cut into a standing field in late summer and stays open until the stalks are harvested, which is why most mazes open a week or two after the pumpkin patch itself and close hard at the end of the season. si…
Hours aren't listed for Great Life Farm in our data. Most pumpkin patches run daily or weekends-only from mid-September through the first days of November, but the surest way to know is to call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive out. Admission pricing isn't listed for Great Life Farm 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 Great Life Farm 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. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
Great Life Farm sits, near New Carlisle, OH, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best corn maze and pumpkin patch in Ohio?
Based on rating and review volume, Great Life Farm ranks first among the farms we track in Ohio that run both, with a 5.0-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its full listing for hours and directions.
How long should I budget to do both?
Plan on two to three hours for a comfortable visit. A mid-size corn maze runs 30-45 minutes on its own, picking a pumpkin adds another 30, and the rest goes to parking, the wagon ride out to the field, and the food stand on the way back. Larger farms with several attractions can easily fill half a day.
Is the corn maze included with pumpkin picking?
It depends on which pricing model the farm uses. Farms with free entry usually charge separately for the maze and sell pumpkins by weight or by the piece; farms with a flat gate admission typically bundle the maze in and sell pumpkins on the way out. Confirm with the farm directly — pricing isn't a field we track.
When in the season is the best time to go?
Late September through mid-October is the sweet spot: the maze is fully cut, the field is at its fullest, and you're ahead of the last-two-weekends-before-Halloween crowds. Weekday mornings in that window are the quietest time to do both without queueing.
Are these farms good for young kids?
Usually — farms that run both often cut a shorter, easier maze route for younger children alongside the full-length one, and the pumpkin field itself works at any age. Check the feature tags on each listing above for things like a petting zoo or play area, and ask at the gate about the shorter maze route if you're bringing toddlers.
