I arrive at this unique restaurant many times since I love the good air that is part of this restaurant. The staff is extremely loving and well trained. The service is deeply quick. Not to mention, the food they serve is perfect. I visited many times and I was never disappointed. The cost is fair. I recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

We love this place! Well worth the money. We go every year on my sons birthday. It makes for a fun day for us! We love the rides, the food and pony rides. The camel ride was awesome! I hope you bring it back! we have been to other pumpkins farms and no where close to the amount of stuff to do plus it s black topped! No messy shoes!

Unbelievable... very crowded. No social distancing. No hand sanitizer. Nowhere to wash hands! Did not wipe or disinfect any of the rides. Never sanitized any of there tables. Spent 20 minutes there and left! Very disappointed!

Scared for my little one. No social distancing at all. The farm required online ticket purchasing as they are "limiting" the people, but it was the opposite. It was packed to the maximum. They are not linient in following the mask rule. We entered the place and went outside right away.

Fun place to take the kids, that had a lot of rides for smaller children, as well as a couple of play areas such as the corn box barn. 10 rides are included with the admission, but the pony rides are extra. Some of the rides include the tractor ride & barnyard dance rollercoaster. There is also a giant 90 foot slide. I shouldn't forget to mention the charming & extremely fun petting zoo. Had a nice selection of food items like fries, pizza, tacos, bbq & roasted corn. Being that this is a farm setting, the warm apple cider drink & apple cider donuts are a nice & delicious treat. The staff was friendly & courteous. The only real drawback is that the bathrooms are all port-a-potties, making it a little more difficult to toilet smaller children, let alone change infants, but I guess that goes along with the outdoor farm theme.

It is a beautiful place to attend but after going there and seeing the crowds of people, mask not being worn by the guest or the employees and huge crowds without social distancing, I will not return to this pumpkin patch. After reading their website, they are not requiring mask at all nor are they enforcing it. They state by you visiting the pumpkin patch you voluntarily assume the risk related to exposure to COVID. I recommend going early on a weekday if you plan to go with kids. This is most definitely a hot spot for COVID and it s not worth it. They honestly should be shut down.

Been here twice when my daughter was younger and also when the weather permits us and it s not too cold in the fall. But yet again it is Illinois so you never really know. Anyways I love this place and the cider donuts are a must! I always buy a dozen but never last us a whole day they re so good!

We were there last year and my 1 year old son and nephew both loved it from the beginning to the end. They have so many things to do and snacks and food is amazing... I have recommended this place to anyone that have kids or anyone that loves family time. Cant wait for it to open this year so we can go again. 5 stars all the way around.

This is the best pumpkin patch! My family loves this place! It is great for all ages! When going here you get a the fun of the ride but also bring the magic of Halloween to life with all the props everywhere and interactive activities! And of course you cannot leave without apple cider donuts they are the best donuts I have ever had those I don t share with the kids jk always buy two boxes!

I've been coming here every since I was a small child with my family. We used to have to take a hay ride down to the field of pumpkins still on their vines, slowly the houses started getting built closer n closer to the farm. Now the pumpkins are all in walking distance and off the vines. This was and still is my favorite place to visit every fall. I love seeing how much it improves each year. I now get to share that same experience with my son.

Always a fall bucket list item for me and the kids. A tradition since I was little. They offer so much more than the traditional pumpkin patch which really adds to the experience (and for such a great value). Pig races, haunted barn, rides, and the corn pit are some of the kids favorites.

Awesome experience. A must do pumpkin farm. I highly recommend it for the family. Lots of things to do. A great family environment for the kids to play and do things. Awesome staff n food court. Great pony rides for kids..

It was the most commercialized farm I've ever been to. It seemed more like a carnival/fair than a pumpkin patch. Actually you don't get to see actual pumpkins in their natural habitats, so if you are looking to pick your own pumpkins this is not the place. It was fun nevertheless, but you might be disappointed depends on what you are looking for.

BENGSTON'S Pumpkin Farm is an annual favorite spot...

BENGSTON'S Pumpkin Farm is an annual favorite spot for the young & old alike during Fall. The parking is vast among plowed fields with crowds leading the way to the admissions booth. A pass through store offers delicious cookies, candies, jellies, candles and soveneirs to take home from your visit. The inner courtyard has all the fixins for a fun day with your kids or grandkiddos. Jumping tents, farm animals, corn mazes, pumpkin launches, wagonrides, high inflatables, trainrides, etc. This is a fun afternoon for all. Plan on good walking shoes (they may get muddy) .. your entrance fee gets you on the rides etc. Food & drinks sold around the venue with a large tent and picnic tables for lunch along with music entertainment. Once inside you will see why folks come back year after year. Fall is BENGSTON'S FARM money making season so don't forget your pocketbook.

This is the best farm I have ever been too. My parents would take us every year up until the day they passed away and those were some of the best memories I have. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. And I just can t wait to finally try a pumpkin spice donut I tell myself every year I am just gonna go for it lol and never do but this is the year. But most of I want to keep the tradition going with my children so that they not only can look back at all the wonderful times spent here but hopefully keep them going with their children as well.

Its a wonderful place to visit. We come every year. However, it is not very affordable. When organizations(not for profit) have a group of children, it would be nice to get a group rate especially on a Sunday. Buses need to be better accomodated. Had to do too much backing up with no parking guard assitance. The girl at the exit didnt even know to move the horse so the bus could turn out on the street. Child food options should be offered at "child rates". The food trucks are a great addition. Just not very affordable. I visited the store for the first time this year. Great jams and sauces.

We visit every year. We started the year our son was born and he will be eight this year. Since then we now have a daughter and the kids just love it. We buy our pumpkins here. The pig races are our favorite.

Came October 2017 loved the updates. 2 train rides, large corn play area, new food, new coaster. Loved the petting zoo, very clean, proper enclosures, seemingly happy animals. Hadn't been here in a few years, so I definitely noticed and appreciated the details. Will come again.

This place is amazing! We made it our family tradition The rides are fun . Food is great. Oh and don't forget the goodies to take home. Apple cider, apple fritters, apples, popcorn, pumpkins and more

MY KIDS AND I LOVE THIS PLACE!! as every year me and my kids have a blast . i like that there is something for everyone to enjoy and that it has so many attractions that keeps parents and kids active and entertained . i also like that every year they come up with new . we are so excited to try this year the Apple cider donuts .

I took my son last year!! He loved it and so did I. He loved the petting zoo and he did some of the rides! I have been telling my friends about Bengtson's and they are all excited to come this year. I can't wait to come back!!

Absolutely amazing one of the best pumpkin patches...

Absolutely amazing one of the best pumpkin patches around guaranteed to have a great time with the whole family. Our family has been coming here for many years, and we love to find they have new rides and different food trucks. Of course they have the standard ones they have every year but it is nice to see new rides and different food options I like that they keep adding on to the farm. There's only an admission fee and all rides and attractions are included except for pony rides. Obviously the weekends would have more in attendance so I would recommend picking a week day, less wait times for rides plus save a little on admission since it's a little cheaper during the week.

Place seems decent enough, has plenty of attractions however this pumpkin patch farm does not limit capacity like others in the area due to COVID. Website does state that it is an outdoor event so masks are not required but strongly suggested.
Regardless, this place was SUPER packed, long lines for rides and food stands. Gave me Six Flags vibes.
FYI: the employees there do not clean/sanitize any of the rides in between uses.

Fun family spot that is larger than I anticipated ...

Fun family spot that is larger than I anticipated but still small enough to not get overwhelmed. It's was like a small amusement park with better food. The props were all nicely put together and the place was clean. With a little one I only wish their toddler playground was larger but we had fun with all the other attractions.

I love Bengston's. My family and I go here almost every year, however this year due to the pandemic my feelings for this place have changed. There are no covid procautions. No temperature check at the entry, the lines to rides and food have no 6 feet markers so everyone is on top of eachother, I saw no sanitization on attractions and some weren't even wearing a mask. This is a big problem considering that this place is packed with people. I hope that they can make this place more safer for future guests.

Our family has been coming to Bengston's for the past 3 years, we've made it a family tradition. My husband and I love it as much as our 2 and 4 year old. We always have a great time at Bengston's and their staff is always warm and friendly!

Complete disaster. love coming here with my family...

Complete disaster. love coming here with my family every year. It has always been a great experience until now. I felt uncomfortable from the minute I walked in to the minute I walked out. They did not follow any of the CDC covid guidelines. No social distancing, no masks, no cleaning or disinfecting, no capacity limits. Absolutely nothing. This is the most irresponsible place I've visited all year. You would think for a family activity they would be somewhat concerned for their customer safety but they're not. I guess it's all about making money and not doing your part during the pandemic. Will not be recommending it to anyone.

My kids and I love this place. My kids range 11,10, and 2. The employees are so helpful and friendly. The environment is so family friendly and welcoming there is always something to do. We love the haunted barn(not to scary) and the petting zoo. I love how all the rides are free. The animatronics all through out the farm is amazing. Our family has made so many memories here and will continue to do so. Bengtson's Pumkin Farm is Our Family Favorite.

The family and I enjoyed our time at Bengtson's. However, it was tad bit cold for the little ones. The line was too long for the new frog ride and they ran out of the doughnuts that I wanted. They know people like them. So, they should have more on hand. They get 4 stars because the kids had fun!

If you re a person who is precautious about the covid virus
I suggest not to go!
They aren t enforcing the face mask rule
They aren t being responsible on the amount of people entering their pumpkin patch!

I went and I regretted going from the amount of people clumped together and not wearing masks!

I always enjoy going every year, but not this year sadly. Too many people and Bengston s not taking proper measures.

They need to take better measures!

First time at a pumpkin patch and Bengston's was a great choice. Went with 10month old, and husband. Plenty of things to do, petting zoo, eat apple cider donuts. Free parking, reasonable entry fee and good weather. Definitely will be back.
