38 pumpkin patches

Pumpkin patches in Illinois

38 pumpkin patches across Illinois. 20 have published this fall’s dates so far, running Aug 27 to Nov 8.

Patches open from mid-September and most close on or just after Halloween, so the dates below are the ones to plan around. Of the 38, 14 have a corn maze, 12 keep farm animals or a petting zoo, 9 run hay rides and 4 let you pick your own. What each farm charges is on its own page.

A patch, not a pumpkin: a place is listed because its own website says it runs a pumpkin patch, or because it is a farm whose autumn calendar says pumpkins. Carving demonstrations, a zoo’s pumpkin smash and a craft session making paper pumpkins are somewhere else, however the word appears in them.

Open this fall

20 farms have published dates, 24 listings in all, soonest first. Hours and closing dates change through the season — the farm’s own page is the one to check before you set off.
