Pumpkin patches near Elgin IL
Summer has come to an end, but that does not mean the fun has to wind down! Fall brings its own set of fun, such as colorful leaves, hot apple cider, pumpkin spice, football season, and Halloween. One of the biggest staples in the general appearance and decor of autumn is the pumpkin. Whether left alone or carved into Jack-o-Lanterns, pumpkins can add a lovely touch of the season to homes during fall. We have a list of a few pumpkin patches near Elgin IL for you to check out.
Autumn also has its own unique driving hazards. We have tips to help keep you safe.
Goebbert’s Pumpkin Patch
At Goebbert’s Pumpkin Patch, located in Pingree Grove, you can bring the whole family to pick your perfect pumpkins and partake in other fun activities. Take a wagon ride, run through a corn maze, and head down the pumpkin slide!
Kuipers Family Farm
Head on over to Maple Park and visit Kuipers Family Farm for a dash of fall fun! Pick pumpkins for your porch, apples for snacking or cider, and take a hayride around the farm. There’s even a petting zoo so you can get to know the friendly farm animals!
Randy’s Vegetables
While fall is known for pumpkin spice these days, let’s not forget another autumn staple: caramel apples! You can get them at Randy’s Vegetables during fall, along with other fall produce. Take the whole family and walk through the corn maze and find some great fall decorations!
Sonny Acres
That is not a typo—Sonny Acres is actually named after a member of the family that owns the land. It is a perfectly fitting name for a fun farm where the whole family can spend a fall day looking for pumpkins and enjoying the scenery!
