25 pumpkin patches

Pumpkin patches in Illinois

25 pumpkin patches across Illinois. 8 have published this fall’s dates so far, running Sep 4 to Nov 19.

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 25, 11 have a corn maze, 7 keep farm animals or a petting zoo, 4 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

8 farms have published dates, 10 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.
