It carries a 4.5-out-of-5 rating on Google from 135 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches in our data.

In the farm's own words: "Family-friendly farm with pumpkins, a petting zoo, a corn maze, bounce houses, and hayrides." Cedarburg Creek 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…
Based on its public listing, Cedarburg Creek Farm is typically open Monday 10AM-6PM, Tuesday 10AM-6PM, Wednesday 10AM-6PM, Thursday 10AM-6PM, Friday 10AM-6PM, Saturday 10AM-6PM, Sunday 10AM-6PM. 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 Cedarburg Creek 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 Cedarburg Creek 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.
Cedarburg Creek Farm sits, near Cedarburg, WI, 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.
