The Best Farms, Orchards, and Pumpkin Patches With Fall Foods Near Chicago

"Bengtson’s in Homer Glen leans all the way into fall food and festivities with classics like fresh apple cider doughnuts and sweet corn plus tacos, barbecue, churros, and kettle corn. Such a scenario almost inevitably leads to a sugar rush, so attendees can burn off that energy at a haunted barn, a head-spinning number of rides, and pig races. The event runs through Tuesday, October 31." - Naomi Waxman

My husband and I went for the first time earlier this month. It was amazing. The price is worth all the attractions. Bengtson’s petting zoo was my absolute favorite. I loved all the cute animals especially the baby goats. We went early morning. It was perfect. Very short lines and the weather was beautiful. Food was delicious! I recommend taking some apple cider donuts, strawberry jelly jar, and popcorn home. Everything tastes so fresh. On top of the wonderful experience, everyone was welcoming and kind. We will definitely be visiting again.

Bengtson’s Pumpkin Farm is the perfect autumn escape! 🍁🎃🍂 From their beautifully laid-out pumpkin patches to family-friendly rides and attractions, the farm has something for everyone. The food options are fantastic (don’t miss the apple cider donuts!), and the farm is set up with photo-worthy spots at every turn. Whether you’re picking out the perfect pumpkin or enjoying the petting zoo, it’s a charming spot to make memories. Highly recommend it for a cozy fall day out!

Perfect farm for all Family, specially for toddlers, big kids, absolutely … The farm has animals, ride. You could spent at least 6 hours there. Enjoy, that’s so fun. Also foods, Drinks, and I can recommend buy you tickets on line is more cheaper. 😊. Nowadays the fall festival is fantastic, I went last weekend ande I can say the farm have some something new by Halloween and fall.. enjoy.

We had a great time last Sunday! Kids had fun and the place is really worth visiting. Minuses: very long lines, some of them took us 30-40 min. But we came early and visited some spots we wanted with mostly no lines. Would be great to mark parking raws somehow (like raw 1 or A), I spent too much time to find my car in the evening. Recommend to visit!

10/10 recommend visiting Bengtson’s Pumpkin Farm each fall. They are your one stop shop for fall fun! Pumpkins, the BEST apple cider donuts, rides, so many cute farm animals, a massive corn pit, and so much more! We visit each season and always have the best time. The tractor town ride is my favorite! 🎃

My grandchildren and I really enjoyed the pumpkin patch, the rides, the animals and the side shows of the cars, and rooster talking and singing. We didn’t get to do everything some lines for certain activities were longer than others. Some prices for food were reasonable and some a bit much. But overall they enjoyed themselves. We are coming again next year but early so we try to enjoy the entire event. It’s way better than it was previous years. You all did A GREAT JOB THIS YEAR!!!

It was such an amazing experience. Everything is super cute and kid friendly. Loved that they had different food options usually it’s just sweets and coffee but I really enjoyed the food options. The donuts were amazing. I would really recommend this place and be definitely go there again next year.

I love this place. I have taken my son to this place for the last five years. It is amazing! 🤩 we go for the Apple cider donuts as well as all the activities and rides that are there. I like that the rides are not an additional charge. Just have extra money for food and drinks and other activities like Gem mining. I highly recommend this place as they are also adding new things every year.

Been going for years but it's getting to expensive for my family of 5. $200 just to walk in not counting the food prices and pumpkins. Wish it would be cheaper so a regular family of 5 can go without costing an arm and leg to enjoy for everyone.

Beautiful day! Excellent food and fun. Customer service outstanding. Always a must visit during the fall. Hope to go again. Don't miss the animal farm and pig races. We had a blast! Kiddos will definitely love.

Such a fun fall outing for family. There is something fun to do for all ages. I will say that this might be easier to with children 4 and older. You can spend an entire day there. For a toddler they might get impatient waiting in lines and the crowds can get overwhelming - maybe go on a weekday that is less busy if going with toddlers. But highly recommend- the train ride and hay ride. There is also a playground. There is tons of options for food but again if going with a toddler plan to hit lunch spots a little before lunch rush. The pizza was so fresh and tasty. The cider donuts were fully and perfectly sweet and spiced. There are tons of fresh ciders and ale options as well. We didn't get to try the bbq place but it smelled divine and really good. The pig race was a quick fun watch. There is a booth for a free family photo session as well - the line moved really quick.

Positives: the kids really enjoyed the rides and the large corn pit; there was plenty to do for them (kind of a fall-themed Six Flags), the apple cider donuts were tasty, lots of food options. Cons: over-crowded, very expensive-over $100 just to walk in, the parking lot is not paved so therefore it is not stroller/wagon friendly (the wheels get caught in the gravel making it difficult to push them), the staff is not overly friendly, the pumpkin patch area is very small compared to the rest of the park, the apple cider donuts are over priced and they are basically what look like mini donuts, the food stands are over priced (1 order of chicken tenders, fries and a drink was almost $25), the wait times for the lines is crazy (we waited in line for the little rooster ride for over an hour), people also cut in line and when we notified staff they just shrugged it off. Overall the kids had a good time, but I dont think we would be back.

Halloween Disney. I'm sure this place is held in fond memories for a lot of folks, but it is a lot. We arrived about 15 minutes before they opened, on a Friday. Before the clock struck 11 (opening), there were hundreds of cars and hundreds of people in line to get in. It took about 30 minutes for the line to cease to be a line (when you could then just walk into the entrance and someone could help you almost immediately). Beth is the person who let us in and she was really rude. She asked how many in my party and I told her two; then she asked how old the kiddo is and if I bought a ticket for the babe to which I said no since she's under two years old and is free, and she said well that's why I asked how many are in your party, so I asked if she wanted to know how many tickets we bought... can you just be clear in your communication and not rude when people are confused by what you're asking? The folks we were here to meet had entered about five minutes before and were waiting for us inside, but had gone through the same line and also said she was rude. There's a lot here, perhaps too much if you're easily overstimulated. I could not imagine visiting on a weekend day. But not a ton of this was stuff that our kids could do, because they're both under 18 months and most of it is geared toward older children. There are at least half a dozen rides, and it's nice that they're free since it costs $27+ (in 2024) to enter. There are animals around (we saw some cows, a pony, goats, piglets...). There's a little hut where you can take a complimentary photo and have it sent to your phone via SMS. We saw a booth for face painting, and there's a place where you can kind of pan for treasure (not gold)--you buy a bag of dirt, of which there are four different options, and then get some goodies. They have pig races, which take place on the hour and was fun (plan for about 20 minutes from start to finish). There's a general store which is not at all ADA accessible or stroller friendly; there's about 10 steps to enter. There's a hayride and maybe the animals situated throughout the park aren't the petting zoo but it's in another area of the place, in which strollers are not permitted so we couldn't visit. There's a corn pit where kids can play around, and that would have been fun but my kid is young enough that she still puts everything in her mouth so next year, maybe. There's a playground, but we didn't go in there since ours are still learning to walk. The pumpkin patch was disappointing, to say the least. What they call the patch is a section of field where they've placed a bunch of pumpkins. You're not in an actual pumpkin patch, where they grow. There are a couple small tractors here, some picnic tables, some backgrounds to take photos with. There are some backgrounds and photo cut-outs scattered throughout the rest of the park as well. There are a lot of food booths from which to choose. You can find barbecue, pizza, apple cider donuts, alcohol, beverages, pretzels, tacos, and more. The loaded chicken elote was pretty good and something--perhaps the pizza--smelled delicious. I'm not sure if they allow you to bring food in or just don't question it, but I brought some food for my little one because she's somewhat picky at the moment (and is of the age where whole milk is a staple of her diet, but they don't have that here) and I needed to be sure she'd eat, but she gobbled the elote down too. It's pretty gross to me that they only have port-a-potties here. There's no way you could convince me that with the number of people they have here in a single month--hell, even a couple weekends in October or summer--they don't have the money to put in flush toilets. They have a sink-like thing near the portable toilets so at least that's good, but the portables gross me out... and some of them are sitting on an angle. I can't say we won't be back. You couldn't pay me to visit on a weekend though, and I might select a day earlier in the week than Friday next time. But I'm not sure if I'll come back for a year or two... it depends upon whether my daughter grows 7 inches in the next year because I know at least some of the rides had a 39" minimum. If not for my friend wanting to go, I would not have wanted to go this year because there just isn't much for children under 3 or so to do here, and it's not a place I needed to go for my own amusement.

This place is cute but it's overly expensive. 38$ a person plus the food is over priced. It's gets way to crowded to enjoy on the weekend so I would suggest going during the week if you want to check it out. Eat before you go unless you want to drop a lot of $$ on the food there.

I feel like this is a place that everybody should go at least once! Even though it can get pricey at $30 a person for the entrance tickets + an extra $20-$30 per person for the cost of food if you get a meal and snacks, I feel like the overall experience is worth the price! Especially so if you have little kids because there are so many family friendly activities throughout the farm! My favorite activities of the day were the mini-rides, the giant dried corn pit, the live music at the lunch pavilion, and the petting zoo (where you can feed the animals for an extra $5). My favorite food items of the day were the roasted buttered sweet corn, the warm cinnamon pretzels from the Auntie Anne's food trunk, the chicken tenders and the chili cheese dog! We also tried the cheeseburger, Mac and Cheese with brisket, the steak tacos, the apple cider donuts and felt like these items were all more standard. Overall you can easily spend a good 3-4 hours here enjoying the different activities and trying out different food items. You can get a stamp on your wrist to re-enter the farm on the same day later in the day. Definitely worth checking out!

This pumpkin farm has so much activity for all ages and a great selection of various food. For the price there's so many different activities including various rides, petting zoo and fall activities. I would recommend this pumpkin farm compared to some of the others farm because of the large selection of activities. Some pumpkin farms there's additional prices for rides or the petting zoo.

I really liked this place, so many rides that are included in the gate price. It's such a good value instead of the individual tickets at other places. They have a lot of rides for the kids and the food was very good too! The donuts were a standout. The staff were very friendly and kept a very clean park. Petting zoo and pumpkin, they have everything.

Bengtson's is officially open for Summerfest! This is the first summer they are offering programming from Friday, June 14-August 4. It is cheaper, less crowded, and just as much fun! We arrived right when it opened at 11am and went straight to see what they had for morning snacks. They have a strawberry donut instead of the apple cider donut...it was so scrumptious! You can also get it in a shake, but we weren't prepared for that big of a snack yet! Next we were off to the cow spinning ride, which is fun for adults, too! We rode twice and the second time was extra spinny sitting in the back. Special shout-out for the staff letting us ride twice in a row since it was slow! Our other favorite ride is the airplane spinning swing. Once again the fabulous staff let us stay on for a second ride since it was slow. So fun and a great view of the entire farm and surrounding area. Next we were off to a huge crowd pleaser: the Pig Races! During Saturdays at summerfest, the pig races happen at noon and 3pm. Since this is such a riot of fun, be sure to plan your day accordingly! Lunch time is always a highlight at Bengston's! We got the Summerfest kolsch ale from the Tipsy Cow (a delicious beer made in collaboration with Skeleton Key Brewery). We got lunch from our favorite food spot: Rustic Knead. We get the El Ranch roast beef and the Caprese sandwiches and share them. So yummy, fresh, and refreshing! Chips are always a great pairing! Other highlights: hay rack ride, petting zoo (with lots of babies this time of year), Photo Booth, Happy Camper coffee stand, candles at the gift shop, and kettle corn to go! We packed all of this in before it started heating up later in the afternoon. All this to say, if you enjoy Bengtson's, don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to experience it over the summer. You won't be disappointed! We hope to go back at least one more time before the Summerfest season ends!

If I could give negative five stars, I would! It completely ruined our family's day. Today, I visited Bengtson's Pumpkin Fest with my two children. We paid almost $150 for our family of four. We arrived around 2 p.m., and the place was already overwhelmingly crowded. The only things we could do were wait over an hour to ride a tractor-shaped attraction and then spend more than two hours waiting to get on the Wave Swinger, which was featured on their website's main page. The primary reason my kids wanted to visit was for this swing ride. Our family finally got seated, but then we had to sit on the swing for over 20 minutes due to a shutdown. Eventually, the ride stopped, and my eight-year-old daughter, who had been so patient, began to cry. By then, we couldn't stay any longer. Every attraction required an hour or more of waiting, and the entire park was packed with people. We requested a refund, but the staff repeatedly responded with "no refunds" and "no re-entry," without any apology. Even when we mentioned that the swing had stopped while we were on it, the staff at the entrance dismissed our concern, insisting the ride was operational. They suggested that waiting was our choice and that we could continue using the attractions until 8:30 p.m. It was clear that the park had allowed far too many people in, and our family received no meaningful service. I've never waited this long at Disneyland or Six Flags. I simply wanted to create a memorable day with my kids during fall break, riding attractions and enjoying our time together. I won't be visiting here again. They charge $35 per ticket yet seem to allow more guests than they can handle without considering the experience they are actually providing.

Our family of 4 have been going here for years. Today, 10/11/2024, we visited once again and realized this place has become too expensive $23 pp + fees = $110 for the 4 of us An apple cider donut = $2.50 6 donuts = $12 Apple cider donut + slushie = $11 Food items are expensive as well (albeit delicious) We arrived at 1pm. There were so many people! I have never seen the farm that crowded! Rides had 40 minute wait times. We were there for 6 hrs (til 7pm). We only got into 4 rides. The rest of the time, we checked out the animals and had dinner in their food court. I am afraid this is the last time we will be here. We love you, Bengtson's! However, you have become too expensive and too crowded! We wish you the best!

I honestly didn't expect to have this much fun at Bengtson's Pumpkin Fest! They had great food and lots of activities for the kids and family. Our favorite activity was the gem mining and the pig race that happens every hour. Their food was super yummy, you gotta try their hot Apple cider and Chili Mac! Overall an amazing experience.

Ever go to a place expecting one thing but then realizing it's much, much more?? I've been to many a pumpkin farm, but Bengston's is on another level. Pick from theme park rides, tractor rides, pumpkin canons, petting zoo, haunted barn, pig races, and my favorite - the corn pit. With so much to do, you'll have a hard time deciding on what to do first and where to end. The general admission covers most everything unless you want to buy feed for the animals. It's nice that they have carrots for the animals, and they're seemingly well taken care of. The pens are clean and well-maintained, and there were no flies constantly buzzing around the animals unlike other places. There are a number of different food options available across the farm for kids and adults. You'll find BBQ, sandwiches, beer, snacks, cider, kettle corn, and more. Of course, there's a store that you can buy merch, soap, toys, etc. I could go on about everything that Bengston's Pumpkin Farm has to offer, but that would take some of the fun away from discovering the fall season magic on your own. Just prepare for a fun time whether you're an adult, teen, or a small kid!

Visited on a Sunday from the city. Wait times for all rides and food were well over an hour each and it felt very hectic. I was told by management they sold out of tickets online and stopped selling at noon but we bought our tickets online at 12:50pm and arrived at 2:30pm. When we asked for a refund or rain check, 10 mins after entering (because it was so packed it was hard to walk around with young children), we were told no by the "head manager" even after her telling us it should have been sold-out. We have been in years past during October and it never felt this crowded/unsafe. Definitely was not worth the drive, a waste of $156 and also seems like a major safety hazard.

We have been going to Bengston's for 20 years or more. It was always fun going with our young children. They loved the pig races and loved picking out gourds. We went this past weekend, with our children who are now adults, and it is just not the same. That old feel country farm feel is gone. Totally commercialized. While there are lots of food choices, the food area is out of control and overpriced. The price to enter on the weekend it totally over the top. $38 to just walk in. In sad to say that our years long tradition is going to end. One more thing...what happened to the vomiting zombie?? Used to be a highlight for my kids.

It was a great fall fun time. The only thing is that it is too expensive when you have to go in and spend for every little thing. My kids are a bit older so even the rides are included in the price yet we don't even ride them.

Rich B.

Yelp
There are a lot of options to enjoy the fall season, but I can't say enough about the festive environment, incredible rides and the best food including their signature Apple Cider Donuts! You may think the admission is steep, but consider there is no additional charge for all of the events (rides, pig races, petting zoo, corn crib) which just add to the enjoyment. The smiles on everyone's faces said it all. One thing I suggest that I learned over the years, visit on a weekday, even if it is 5pm, you still have 3 1/3 hours to enjoy. This gives you a better ride experience as the lines are much smaller.

This year I decided to visit a pumpkin patch with my kids. I have a teen and tween and I wanted a place where they would both have fun. Did a lot of research since there are so many options during the fall. I decided on Bengtson's. We had been there 8 years prior but the day we went it was later in the day and it was cold. Plus my daughter was little and we did not stay long. Fast forward 8 years and we decided getting there first thing in the morning on a sunny and mild fall day. We got there early enough so we got a great parking space and there were no lines to get on the rides. This place is massive. Be prepared to walk. Lots of things to do. Petting zoo, mini haunted house, rides, pig races, great photo ops and you must get your picture taken at the photo stand for a great keepsake. The food options were also pretty good. I had an elote cup with steak and my kids had food from the BBQ place. We had churros and donuts for dessert. I indulged and also visited their bar. Yes, they not only have a coffee stand but they also have a BAR.!! The admission can get a bit pricey for a big family but in my opinion it is totally worth it. Will make it a point to go back next season.

We've been going here for over 25 years and it has exploded in popularity. It always was a fun place to bring the family around Halloween: choosing pumpkins and going in the little scare house. It was basically just a little seasonal stop for kids and families. As it grew, busloads of children would come from the area schools; and that even got bigger as they expanded the offerings, put in some rides, and really made it a destination stop. Today it is a pay-to-enter kind of event, but well worth the money. You can walk around, enjoy the scenery during Fall, buy some pumpkins picking them out yourself at a number of locations, and hop on some carnival rides for the kids. This place is kid friendly: strollers welcome as well as little walkers. Lots to do for the family, and really a must see kind of place during the Halloween season. Wear outdoor shoes because sometimes the weather makes for mushy ground. Comes with a very large parking area in the fields on both sides of the street. Come prepared to walk. Recommended.

Bengtson's is currently my favorite Pumpkin patch. We went the Sunday before Halloween on a dreary muddy day. I'm not sure if this was why but the place WAS NOT busy. The entrance fee was a bit expensive around $30 per person but this includes unlimited rides. My son is 2 and was able to ride a few things with an adult and he had a great time on the train and tractor. We never waited over 5 minutes for a ride. There was a corn pit he absolutely loved playing in and lots of decorations for him to ohhhh and awe over. Four hours went by in a flash. There was lots of food vendors but we did not try the food. They had pavilions with picnic tables and a folk artist playing though so you could purchase your food and have a place to sit and enjoy chill music. We loved it and will be back next year!

I loved this place! It's fantastic fun for the entire family! The ticket prices are steep, but when you're voted as a top pumpkin patch/farm in the state and unlimited rides are included with ticket purchases, then you can afford to charge the prices they charge. Take your family for a day of fun. You won't regret it.

We went to Bengston's today as a family as we have done for over 30 years. I was not aware that they no longer accept cash .when I asked about it , I was told oh we just started that this year due to Covid. I'm confused because Covid was four years ago. I asked to speak to somebody in charge and I asked her about it and her response was.. I don't know anything about that. That's not my department. I proceeded to tell her That you can't not accept cash (it clearly states on paper money- this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private) she didn't want to hear anything else i had to say. she turned, looked away from me and started talking to some other customers. I have been in Customer Service over 50 years. You never turn your back on a customer that you're speaking with especially one that's expressing to how unhappy they are with something that your business did. She was allegedly Management , she needs customer service training because her customer service skills were horrific. You might not think this is a big deal but it is to me . This is not China, I use cash a lot, and I'm confused as to why an establishment would prohibit accepting cash. I will never go back there again and I will never speak highly of them again. It's un-American not accept cash. In response to your message, Scott .. Previous years, my husband paid and he used a card. He did not go this year And I used cash. I was not aware of it since 2020 and apparently neither was your employee because she told me that you started this policy last year. You won't accept cash primarily for the safety of your employees?? That's absurd! Hey newsflash the pandemic is over ! what are you keeping them safe from, a cold virus. Give me a break! Your manager did not respond appropriately. You don't ever turn your back or dismiss a customer when they're speaking to you.

Every year it gets better. This place definitely invests in itself, there's always something new every year. One thing I'd like to say is the customer service is amazing I've never had an issue everyone's always so friendly. My son is autistic when I asked if they had accommodations they did. Last year was my first time asking about accommodations there was a little confusion but then they completely accommodated our sensory need because they were able to. This year was way more organized and they were able to accommodate me quickly. So amazing. Thank you for the inclusivity. The staff this year was so friendly kind. The food is great!!! There's live music in a pavilion where you eat. Paved. Strollers and wheelchair accessible. Can't wait to see what pops up next year!

We loved bengstons! Such a great pumpkin patch, one of our favorites! We love that there's so much to do for everyone. My daughter loved the bunny ride and the petting zoo the most! Super convenient that there's a food area with quite a few options too as well as alcohol which is a plus! Prices have definitely gone up but I do appreciate not having to buy separate ride tickets in order to ride the rides.

It was extremely crowed. The flow if traffuc was awful. Not enough staff and vendors were sub par. Will not be returning for $100

They are inconsistent with their policies, my kid had been able to ride their bunny and chicken rides with me behind her and all of a sudden she's not tall for these rides like my baby grew smaller. Upsetting g that we can only for those rides and they can't even give a refund. Definitely not recommending the place.

Bengtson's Pumpkin Fest is a decent place. I was extremely upset on how overcrowded it was and and everything there required an over an hour wait, food, rides and attractions. I took my daughter for her birthday and to only be able to do one ride and as we spent most of the time waiting for food and minimal attractions. They should have a limit of capacity in order for people to truly enjoy their visit.

Went on a Sunday which I've done before and I don't know this time it was so busy you literally couldn't walk anywhere without bumping into people and every single ride/food spot had a ridiculous line to wait. Little roller coaster had like an hour wait and a small dinky ride was a half hour. Way to long for a family day at a pumpkin patch. Not to mention it's almost $40 a person which was a complete waste of $.

Visited on Sunday, Oct 13 and although there one hour after opening, the place was so crowded. Many rides were almost an hour wait with little children. No one is around to tell you approximately how long the wait may be. The tunnel attraction had no clear info that it was closed, and we ended up waiting in a nearby line that ended up being a photo shoot! Unless we can go very early during the week, I don't think that we will visit next year. 37.00 per person for 4 hours and only got on 3 rides..we gave up on the last ride after waiting 25 minutes and not making much progress. Yes, the park is very nice if the number of tickets sold were limited or go to a pay per ride system.

Total rip off!! $36.99 for one person!! Should be no more than $5! Can see everything in about an hour. What do they think they are, Disneyland. Waste of money and time. I would like my money back.

I went on a Sunday ( apparently weekdays are better ) . anyways it was sooo crowded and the lines for anything .. rides , food , bathroom were longer then six flags . my kids only got to ride one ride , both barns and pig races . definitely not worth the money or hype

Normally don't write reviews, but hopefully I can save you your time and money. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This place is overpriced and overcrowded. Seems like it was great at one point but owner greed took over. They sell as many tickets as they can instead of limiting sales on busy days. They have no regard for customer experience. We only made it an hour here before we couldn't take the suffering anymore. All the attractions has 1hour plus wait which is impossible to do with a 2 year old. You're also shoulder to shoulder with other people the entire time. The portapotties were some of the most disgusting ones I've seen in my entire life. We only have the time/money to go to one pumpkin patch a year and this was such a robbed experience for us.

We went on Friday at 10:45. Crowds were crazy. 45 min wait time for rides. An hour wait time for tacos--which were horribly overpriced and gas station quality. $12 for 6 small donuts. Entrance $26-pp. value isn't there.

Very sad management is so strict and took money of our tickets due very serious sickness instead showing professionalism of good bussiness. Even we asked no refund money. We just asked to use our tickets we paid for in a different time. This is huge farm so they don't care about one customer just the money.

Most Employees are rude. Too crowded and too much waiting on everything. Had to leave early to be able to grab food

The absolute worst " pumpkin patch" experience I have ever had. If I would have known it was more of a theme park type destination I never would have brought my family. I have 3 kids 8 and 6 and they were miserable. They wanted to make the best of it and ride the rides but didn't have the patience to wait and I don't blame them. I would have paid double to go to kuipers and done the pumpkin patch and apple picking, or even goebberts just for their shop alone. We thought we would try Bengtson's based off of the information we got from the website and because we had never been but never again!

Not sure how this place has less than 5 stars. One of the best farms/pumpkin patches I have ever been to. Large, well designed and lots of rides/activities can easily spend hours. Better for smaller kids 8 and under

So many people I know come here with their kids each fall and I had to check it out myself this past weekend. It's definitely a very kid friendly place but you can also come with friends if you love feeding farm animals, taking some great fall photos and enjoying mild rides. Tickets to enter on the weekends are currently $27 per adult and it includes all of the rides. Children under 2 years old are free. We didn't have to make reservations and just paid at the entrance. They feature some impressive pumpkin decor throughout the farm, which makes for amazing photos. There were a lot more rides than I was expecting and overall the whole place is a lot bigger than I had anticipated. It's very well run, and there's no shortage of port a potties. You can easily spend 3 hours here (dining included) with young kids. My favorite was feeding the farm animals- they have cows, goats, alpacas and llamas. You can buy a cup of carrots for $5 to feed them, which is a must do in my opinion. There are a few dining options inside, including bbq and tacos. Of course they also sell fall favorites like apple cider donuts.

We randomly picked to go here and was surprised at how big the places is! Pricey at the door BUT, all the rides are included which is really nice! You do need at lease 3-4hrs to truly enjoy and get your moneys worth. My kids and I lived the petting zoo the best! Alpacas were our favorite! They have great food and it's a clean place! Will return next year!

It's become a family tradition to come here! The place is really well kept and the kids always have such a fun time. It's not overwhelming big and easy to get around with young kids.
