FallOutdoor Places to Go

There are so many pumpkin patches to visit in Chicagoland this fall. Just in our Chicagoland area, these patches range from little patches where you can harvest your own pumpkins or larger scale farms that have amusements and entertainment for children.

The charming small farms offer the chance to the field and pick your own pumpkin to wash off afterwards. The larger farm destinations offer corn mazes, jumping pillows, and more!

We’ve updated our list this year with more pumpkin patches for you to pick from. We’ve even included pumpkin patches that also offer apple picking so you can make it a combo trip. Happy fall, ya’ll!

Kidlist Tip: Rain can make the fields muddy, so be sure to wear boots or bring a change of shoes for the car.
