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.
Smaller farms usually 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 Tip: 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.
