Waimānalo Country Farms Fall Harvest 2025

Waimānalo Country Farms’ Fall Harvest 2025 returns to O‘ahu’s windward side with a pumpkin patch, blooming sunflower fields, hayrides, farm animals, and crave‑worthy country grinds from Saturday, September 27 through Sunday, November 9, 2025. The farm confirms open days, hours, pricing notes, what is and is not included, and on‑site rules for a smooth, family‑friendly visit set against the Ko‘olau mountains — no advance reservations required for the daytime festival in 2025, first‑come first‑served while bloom and pumpkins last. Regional roundups and recent “We Tried It” features align on the flow visitors can expect, from weekend morning openings and weekday afternoon sessions to pumpkin pricing, keiki policies, and the farm’s famous lemonade and cornbread at the market and grub stands.

How the day flows

• Weekdays: A relaxed, post‑school vibe begins at 1 p.m.; weekday afternoons are ideal for photos in softer light and lighter crowds before the 4:30 p.m. close.
• Weekends: Gates open at 9 a.m.; arrive early for easier parking, cooler temperatures, and open photo spots in the pumpkin and sunflower fields; last entry at 4 p.m. with a 4:30 p.m. close.
• Keiki activities: Hayrides and a keiki activity zone are featured in prior seasons; check on‑site boards for day‑specific offerings and any weather or field updates.

House rules and tips

• Respect the fields: Stay on marked paths, do not pick flowers, and avoid damaging pumpkins; “you break it, you buy it” applies at the patch.
• Dress and comfort: Family‑friendly dress is required; bring sun protection and closed‑toe shoes suitable for farm terrain; no eating or drinking in the fields and please use trash cans to keep the farm clean.
• Pets and smoking: No pets, smoking, vaping, alcohol, or drug use on site; ADA service dogs permitted.
• Vehicles: Note the 9.5‑foot height clearance for vehicles; drive slowly through the neighboring subdivision and under 4 mph on the farm road.
• Weather and closures: Operations are weather and crop dependent; the farm may close for heavy rain, crop loss, or other unforeseen issues — check the farm’s official page or Instagram before driving out.

Pricing guidance and discounts

• General admission: Prior season features cite typical ranges of roughly $6–$16 including taxes/fees; the farm’s current page emphasizes that admission applies to ages 3+ and that pumpkins and sunflowers are purchased separately at stands.
• Discounts: Kama‘āina and military ID discounts have been offered in recent years (e.g., $3 off), and keiki 2 and under are free; confirm day‑of at the check‑in desk.

Photography and special bookings

• Photo etiquette: The farm encourages quick photo turns at popular backdrops to keep lines moving; tripods and professional shoots often require advance reservation and fees.
• Private experiences: Private picnics in the patch or among the sunflowers, field trips, and special events are available by reservation; field trips run 9 a.m.–12 p.m. on weekdays.
• Sunflower seasons: Separate spring/summer sunflower events and the fall sunflowers have distinct calendars, often with different reservation policies; fall harvest daytimes in 2025 do not require reservations.

How to get there and where to park

• Location: 41‑225 Lupe St., Waimānalo, O‘ahu; about 30–40 minutes from Waikīkī via H‑1 and Kalaniana‘ole Highway depending on traffic.
• Parking: On‑site parking fills during peak hours; arrive at weekend opening for the easiest experience, or consider weekdays after 1 p.m. for lighter crowds.
• Nearby stops: Pair the farm with Waimānalo Beach for a morning swim, Lanikai pillbox hike earlier in the day, or a plate lunch in Kailua before an afternoon farm visit.

Why families love it

• Hands‑on fall fun: A pumpkin patch and sunflower rows in Hawai‘i are a rare seasonal treat; kids can see and feel a working farm while enjoying the classic hayride and keiki zone.
• Signature tastes: Fresh lemonades and hot cornbread are worth the trip; bring cash for some stands and cards for others to keep lines moving.
• Photo memories: Backdrops and designated photo areas are set with the Ko‘olau ridgeline, fields, and pumpkins as the stage; plan a few outfits for family holiday photos.

Sample visit plan

• Weekend morning: Arrive 9 a.m., park easily, check in, and head straight to the pumpkin patch for shots before crowds; next, stroll the sunflower paths and grab lemonade; finish with a hayride and a keiki zone visit; depart by 11:30 a.m. for lunch in Kailua.
• Weekday afternoon: Arrive 1–1:30 p.m., enjoy cooler light and fewer lines, focus on photos and shopping at the market stand; last entry 4 p.m., fields close 4:30 p.m..
