Church Groups

Cache Valley's fall light hits the rows of pumpkins and the stacked bales like a marker—this is where small towns gather for a day of silliness and competition. The Cache Valley Straw Maze & Pumpkin Patch, located near Richmond, Utah in Cache Valley, is built for groups: church youth outings, multi-family weekends, or school trips. The attraction's one-acre straw maze rises in 8-foot walls of tightly packed straw bales.

On average visitors spend 45–90 minutes finding the way through, with staff guides on hand to help teams who want to keep moving toward the finish. Beyond the maze, the site reads like a low-key festival of active play. The Giant Slide rockets riders down a smooth chute that keeps smiles and friendly rivalry loud; the oversized Jump Pad invites kids and adults to launch into cartwheel attempts and controlled chaos; and the Play Area—complete with a corn pit and a towering Straw Pyramid—lets kids climb, dig, and make plenty of muddy memories.

For autumn-lovers, the award-winning Pumpkin Patch offers rows of pumpkins in every size and color; ABC News ranked it Utah’s #1 Pumpkin Patch, and families can pick without paying general admission. The farm keeps a carnival edge with ticketed extras: a Corn Cannon for aim-and-fire fun, a Mechanical Bull for rodeo-style laughs, and a Mechanical Swing Ride that lifts riders into a breezy spin. These add-ons make the place especially good for groups who want a mix of free-play and paid challenges.

Church group bookings are listed as one-hour sessions for groups of 10+, making logistics simple: a short, intense outing that fits into a weekend schedule and leaves room for food, fellowship, or a nearby hike in Cache Valley. Why this site stands out in the region is its combination of agrarian authenticity and deliberate group programming: straw-bale construction rooted in local harvest practices, plus attractions designed to hold large, mixed-age parties. It’s a fall anchor for the Richmond community and a practical choice for organizers looking for approachable outdoor fun that’s as active as childcare and as photogenic as a farmers’ market.

Practical note: come dressed for fall fields—boots, jackets, and clothes that can handle straw and a corn pit. Bring a camera for the pumpkin rows and plan to reserve ticketed attractions on arrival if you’re visiting with a larger church group. Whether you’re racing to the maze’s heart or picking the perfect porch pumpkin, this farm afternoon delivers uncomplicated, energetic autumn memories.

On-site staff manage groups and safety, and accessibility options vary—check in advance for special-needs accommodations. Expect rustic restrooms, food vendors during peak weekends, and plenty of parking; bring cash or card for pumpkins and ticketed attractions to streamline group check-out and signage.
