Bengston's Pumpkin Farm Reviews

I go to bengstsons pumpkin every year unless I m working I love the variety it has always giving staff had always been helpful and very nice looking forward for these upcoming year

Terrible experience for the family, way too expensive and really long lines, the apple cider had ice in it not CHILLED! Spent 20 dollars on 12 donuts. If I could give no stars I would do that in a heartbeat. Never coming back

Great Day with the Granddaughter! We were there from 1-5, it was kinda crowded . Bring cash for the Pony ride, I didn't. Bengtson has ATMs and takes credit/debit cards too. I'm BEAT!

Great place for all ages 7 to 70 we ve been coming here for over 5 years and every year they add new attractions and fun activities, not to mention they have great food

An absolute nightmare money grab establishment concerned more with overcharging (non-refundable) and packing customers into their location than safely providing any real entertainment.

No COVID restrictions of any kind, despite the posts about restricted ticket sales. Be prepared to witness thousands of masked and unmasked individuals cram themselves like sardines into long lines. If you re wondering why cases in Illinois are still on the rise, this place is certainly a hotspot.

The county Sheriff s department should be working to shut this down, not directing traffic. I ve been fairly reasonable with my COVID precautions, but I feel ashamed to have thought for a second that this disgrace of a place might be alright to visit

DO. NOT. GO.

We Love going to Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm as a family. We were taken for the first time by a good friend of ours,now we bring our family and friends from Indianapolis,Honduras,New York,Puerto Rico and Mexico they LOVE it!! We have good Memories there ohhh they corn is sooo good... yummmyyy

It was a wonderful experience visiting Bengtsons Pumpkin Farm like every year. Last year was a rainy day but it was worth it.

I love all of the different activities that Bengstons has to offer. Everything is included in the price of admission so that is a huge plus! If you go on one of the less busy days, your kiddos can ride the rides as much as they want. I love this place and can t wait to go again this fall!

We have the best time at Bengtsons every year there is so much to do for the whole family. The employees here are all so helpful and sweet. Food is great, and my son LOVED the rides. We return every year and will continue to do so.
I also really appreciated that we did not have to wear a mask outdoors unless we were in a crowd or felt the need to wear it.
Thank you Bengtsons for another amazing trip.

Love this place!! I took my kids last year for the first time and they had a blast. Couldnt have had a better time. Cant wait to go again this year!

Its a great yearly traditional family pumpkin patch BUT..... NO SOCIAL DISTANCE , OVER 1 THOUSAND PEOPLE ON A SUNDAY , NO MASKS REQUIRED . The rides were over crowded, No tables in food court were wiped down /Santized, its a fun place but would like it if this establishment would care more for its customers. Not only for the money specially since there are children everywhere.

My husband and our two boys went to Bengtsons pumpkin farm six years ago and fell in love! We had such a good time and have wanted to go back ever since. This year we are planning to return except now we have two additions to our family since our last visit! Its a very reasonable price for all the activities and rides that are included. There is so much to do so plan on spending your whole day there so you can enjoy the farm. We have done a lot of fall activities and been to many apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and campgrounds over the years, but Bengtson has been our favorite by far! Very best family memories and so much fun for everyone! We can't wait to go back!

When I think of fall, I can't help but think of spending time making new memories & enjoying family time at Bengtson's. I have some pretty fond childhood memories with my family at Bengtson's along with school field trips. Now that I have a daughter of my own, we try our best to visit each year. So far, the best year we had was when I won a contest on Facebook last year. I was able to bring my little family of 3 along with my bff (of 25yrs) & her family to enjoy a Sunday funday of a lifetime. We will never forget that day & had such a fantastic time together, especially since we got to experience a new cow coaster ride together. I cannot thank Bengtson's enough for such an amazing prize that helped our two families during hard times.
Thank you again Bengtson's

Great place to visit with family!! I love that they offer different prices and promotions all the time depending on the day you go which is a plus for a big family like mine. They also have unlimited rides and access to entertainment. Definitely best place to spend time with family for the Fall!!

Great place! Fair price. Will definitely be back again next year. Dont miss the pig races.

i LOVE this place! i make it a point to visit at least once a year. i grab my friends and we come buy some pumpkins, donuts and pet some animals :)

I love Bengston! I go every year and have for 15+ years. I have gone with school groups for field trips, special needs groups, and friends, we always had a great time! The staff were friendly and accommodating. I am most excited to go this year with my 8 month old baby girl, my first child! I cant wait for her to see all the pumpkins, animals, pig races, staff who have smiles on their faces who are ready to make every families experience picture perfect and the special touches Bengston does to make the day so memorable for so many families every year. My brother and his wife are coming into town with their new baby as well and asked what pumpkin farm should we go to we see there are several near you, I hands down Bengston! I must add I love that they also offer free admission to current military and vetrans!! Awesome! My family will see all of the great Bengston Farm staff this weekend! I highly recommend you take your family too!

We've been going to Bengtson's every year for the last 25+ years. Brought my children, scout groups and now my grandchildren. Everyone loves Bengtson's! Wouldn't be Autumn without a trip there!

Something me and my family plan to do every year! Such a great place for families, with so many things to do. I love carving pumpkins every year and this is the place to get some!

My sons loved it here! So much to do and they went home exhausted! They couldn't stop bragging about how great of a time they had. Can't wait to take them back this year.

Am autumn tradition. Staff are friendly. Their cider donuts are amazing and overall a very fun place for the family.

Fun but lines for every single thing. Felt more like an amusement park than a pumpkin patch.

I have been to multiple pumpkin farms and bengstons is the best experience I have had so far. The whole layout is really unique and you can tell that they try really hard to make it a warm invite. I am glad that this farm is super close to home can't wait to take my 4 yr old daughter this year !

It is the best place for pumpkins and fun. The haunted barn is better than the 13 floors haunted house (although not hard considering how trash it is now.) The staff (especially the parking attendants) were all super nice.

Not worth the time or money. Too many people. A two hour wait for a 30 second ride.

I've been to quite a few pumpkin patches but this by far and I mean by far is the best one yet it's a little on the higher end as far as cost but they have so much to do here so it's well worth it parking is great the staff is amazing and make sure you check out the corn playpen if you will

We love Bengstons for our fall family tradition. From rides, pumpkin picking, or just all around family fun it s the best. Something for everyone regardless of age. Make sure not to miss the pig races!!!

Great Family Fun my Twinkies love it and are ready for this year new attractions..

It's become a tradition for me and my family. The nicest staff and great atmosphere.

This place is amazing well worth it. They have so much for the kids to do it's an amazing place.

An amazing experience with the family!!! We will definitely go back every year! A place full of activities for the kids and a great place to take pictures of your kiddos with pumpkins and autumn scenery! We got to pet the farm animals and try apple and pumpkin churros! Such a beautiful place and the hours will fly! A must go place in the fall!

Love this place! We go every year with my family and kids! My son especially loves the petting zoo and tractor ride!

Bengstons is our yearly family tradition. We've been bringing our oldest here every year and enjoy it very much. This year we are excited to bring our newest member of the family. Both of our boys will be enjoying the farm.

Food was okay had the Mac daddy. Not very flavorful. The booze were the best part. Way to many people not wearing mask during this pandemic. Also not worth $20 to enter after you have to pay for food and drinks.

It s a nice place but their pricing is outrageous. It use to be fun until their pricing went up. Your paying for the name more then anything. A family of 4 or 5 your paying close to 100 bucks! Pumpkin farms shouldn t be that expensive. I can see maybe paying the most 11.99 but 16.99, 19.99, 20.99 is steep for a family and ridiculous. Think the Bengtson family is getting a bit greedy now

We have been coming here for years, This place is amazing and the price is too.
There is so much to do and see here not to mention the great food and every size and kind of pumpkins and gourd.

Loved everything about it ... especially the goats and the petting zoo. So many animals we'd never seen! The hayride was perfect as usual and the kids loved the corn pit. Can't wait to go back !

I ve been coming here every year since I was a kid. I am extremely disappointed with what has happened to this place and after today I don t think we will be returning. This used to be the best family fun pumpkin farm around. Not it s an amusement park that lets as many people in as possible. It was extremely difficult to get around the park with two toddlers on a double stroller. Lines for rides were 1-1.5 hours long. Lines for the portable bathrooms were ridiculously long and don t have changing tables. They moved the entrance to where the exit used to be and people were making it hard to get in because there were no lines. The corn pit had a bloody band aid it it. Kids were throwing the corn at each other. This year we re unable to take pictures because this place was so packed. My kids were able to get on only two rides. The pumpkin patch is really small and less then half of it had pumpkins in it. There is probably a better selection of pumpkins at your local market for half the cost. Today was a waste of $62. Time to find a new pumpkin farm.

I've been going to this place for the last 3 years I highly recommend it! You only pay the entrance, which varies by day! It has olot of kids activities majority of the activities have no additional cost except pony rides I believe you pay extra.

Our first time there was last year and it was such a great time. I was pregnant at the time and this year I am so excited to take my little one for his first time! The best part were the piggy races

We were terribly disappointed and ended up leaving after doing almost nothing. There was no effort to follow health guidelines for social distancing and mask wearing. Lines were not spaced, people were being seated on rides right next to each other, nothing was being sanitized and crowds of people were gathering all over the place to see animals, etc.

I would have expected better signage, more markers for where to stand in line, spacing on rides, and sanitizing efforts between each ride, etc. I have been to other pumpkin farms and facilities this fall that are doing a MUCH better job of managing the COVID risk for its patrons. We drove more than an hour to get there, and spent the money for four of us to get in, and left feeling frustrated, angry and sad (especially my girls).

I am writing in hopes that you will make an effort to improve your process, as the way it is being run now would certainly be considered out of bounds of the guidelines for social gatherings.

We LOVE Bengton s!!! Everything about the place is perfect for my 4 and 6 year old. The rides and petting zoo make this place the best pumpkin farm around.

It s been about 5 or more six years since I ve been there would love to take my family and mom I had no kids neither my mom was there s when I visit I m not financially stable right now and I would love to to visit and share this experience with them plz make this wish come threw thank you

I love this place! Even though it might be for kids, its my favorite place to go in the fall. Especially the tractor ride, it makes it feel like your on a real tractor!

My favorite pumpkin patch in Illinois hands down! It's huge so much to do for all ages not just geared towards one age group. Love all the animals of course too! Great family owned business!

This is the 5th year we have visited Bengston s Pumpkin Farm and we have always loved it! This year however was a huge disappointment. We were there yesterday among what felt like thousands and thousands of people. It was a horrible experience and a complete waste of $100. This pumpkin farm was overcrowded waaaay past their limit and when we left there were still lines of people waiting to get in. We were there for 6 hours and my kids only went on 3 rides due to the 1 hour plus wait for the rides. The corn box had so many people in it we had a difficult time finding a small patch for my boys to play. Other kids were whipping and throwing corn in all directions. My husband and I received many rounds of field corn in our faces and my son got hit in the eye with a flying piece of corn. It was complete chaos in that corn box! We waited in line 30 minutes for food and spent another $70.00 for lunch only to find there were no tables available to eat it at. There were so many people there we could hardly walk around the place! There were also long waits for the porta potties. When we got so tired from the crowds and wanted to get some ice cream, the line was so darn long we finally gave up and went home. It even took us awhile to make our way to the exit because of the crowds and one of my kids was crying because he didn t get to go on more rides. We are going to definitely consider other options for pumpkin farms next year. Isn t there a safety limit for how many people you should let into this place? Sheesh! I can t believe we spent that much money only to come home so tired and aggravated. I am sure there were many unhappy guests at this pumpkin farm yesterday.

At Bengtson s there is always enough fun for everyone. From the corn pit train rides, and slides to the hay rack rides and picking your own pumpkin there is always enough fun for everyone!!

My family has been taking my now 15 year old son since he was a baby, he still looks forward to it every year. A lot of things to do for all ages. Rides for the small kids, hayride, picking pumpkins, and lots of opportunities for some great family photos. Each year my family takes pic at Bengstons and uses it as a Christmas card.

Great place to visit and have fun with the kids. Really looking forward to go this weekend.

One of the bes pumpkin farms in the area, truly worth the visit!

We have a great time each year at Bengtson s Pumpkin Farm and look forward to our annual visits.

Great Apple cider Donuts animal farm was a great experience for the kids and they enjoyed every second there! Thank you for such a great place to make memories

Wonderful family outting! EVERYTHING was fun. Our 12 month old loved the petting zoo. Food was great at the Wagon Wheel and reasonably priced. Alot of free things included.Will go again. Even had several Pig Races. ALL staff was pleasant and helpful.

I loved to take my children to this place is a very good place and they have a lot of fun and also we their parents can share that joy with our children is great and that is thanks to this place everything Ahy is magical thank you for this great place and power make our children happy

Hands down one of the best Pumpkin Patch experiences you'll EVER have. Well worth the price, clean, fun , and an overall great experience year after year.

My family and I love going to Bengstons every year! It s clean, has many activities for the kids, a petting zoo, and so much more! I have gone to other pumpkin patches but nothing compares to here!

Amazing family fun! Definitely make a whole day of it. Great for all ages. Most attractions included in admission. Just need a little cash and coins for pony rides, animal feed in the petting zoo, etc. Would give 10 stars if I could!

There is no better pumpkin farm I have been to, I have taken my kids the past 8 years it s our October family tradition so much for the kids to do the best pumpkins to choose from big or small! From hay rides to corn maze to Great food & snacks so much for the kids to do & such a great family place to visit one of the best pumpkin patches in Illinois bengstons is the top spot!!! Can t wait for our October 2018 visit!!!!

We have been going here since my oldest son was little, even with a broken arm at 4 years old! We now have a 8 year old and a 2 month old and we just had our 2 months old first time there and of course we got LOTS of pictures!. We love everything about bengtsons from the silly fun maze, to the scary maze, and we LOVE playing in the corn!! And of course we love the pig races, taking pictures in the cut outs, and picking out our favorite pumpkin but before we leave we never forget our donuts (: I will continue to recommend and visit every year with my kids! I never know whos more excited, the kids or me! haha

Perfect for the whole family! This is the best pumpkin farm we've been to in the Midwest. We will be there at least twice this year.

Not nearly as fun as when you are not a child and there were no candy apples this year, but other than that the place is fun, unique, and a most go during autumn.

By far, one of the best pumpkin farms we have been to.

My family looks forward to going to Bengston's every year. It is always one of our favorite days. This place it's a lot of fun, and the staff is very friendly. I will keep coming to Bengston's for years to come!

I remember going here with my family years ago and love comparing the pictures to today. Although my birthday is in October and I'm probably predispositioned to be obsessed with Halloween, Bengston's is what fueled the traditions, happiness and experiences that revolve around Halloween-time. Now, we get to bring our family here and while many attractions have been updated, it still has that same old time feel. The admissions prices coincide with the attractions and the pumpkins, gourds and little things you can buy on the way are abundant and appropriately priced. There are so many food options to choose from and places to sit away from the crowds. I'm so happy to hear they will be open this season 2020!! We know they will have guidelines in place to ensure the safety of their patrons and we cannot wait to go. Bring your camera to capture all the smiles and a wagon if you have it to haul all your Harvest goodies home!

I've never been in this place but i see alot of reviews of how great and fun this place is and i cant wait to visit this year now that i have a son. I can't wait to take him and start a family tradition to go every year..

I love going to the farm with my family every year. I really liked the expansion and the new roller coaster. The pig races are so much fun. My niece loves to watch them race. It is a great place to get together with your family and enjoy a fall day. All the animatronics are awesome and lots of fun rides for the kids. Great job.

Horrible experience. Overpriced. Overcrowded. Long lines. Would not recommend.

Love it here
Kids have so much fun.
Absolutely Beatiful and enjoyable.
Place for great memories and awesome pictures.

I've been going to Bengston's since my son was 2 he's 30 now. Now I bring my granddaughters always a great day at Bengston's.

I love this place they have so much to do and the popcorn is the best. My kids enjoyed themselves can t wait to take them back again
