Nothing says fall more than a pumpkin patch, and many of these are so much more than that with attractions, farm stores with fall treats, animals, and rides. There are so many options in Chicagoland… how do you choose?!
That’s why we created this guide! It ranges from small patches where you can harvest your own pumpkins to larger scale farms that have amusement rides and entertainment for children. Each location has pricing and the features outlined to make it easier to find what you’re of experience your family is looking for. We even have a map for you too!
Some of these farms offer the chance to the field and pick your own pumpkin to wash off afterwards. The larger farm destinations often have corn mazes, jumping pillows, and more! We’ve also noted places with both pumpkin patches and apple-picking in case you want to combine two fall favorites in one trip.
Kidlist Tips: We’ve learned from experience that rain can make the fields muddy, so be sure to wear boots or closed-toed shoes, or bring a change of shoes for the car. Also, check the farm website before visiting because sometimes they offer online discounts if you purchase ahead of time.
Map to Find a Fall Farm Near Me
Be sure to check ahead to see if you need to purchase tickets in advance, be aware of new hours, etc. We marked each of the locations with a pumpkin, apple, and/or goat emoji to make it easier to identify what each farm offers, but check out the open dates, pricing, and features of each pumpkin patch and fall farm for more details.
