Bengston's Pumpkin Farm Reviews

Loved this pumpkin patch went there 1 year ago I believe and my kids, my boyfriend and I had an awesome time. Loved all the rides for kids and LOVED the apple cider donuts could be a bit overpriced but worth it.

We have been going to Bengstons for years it is the high light of our fall!!!

My husband, 1 yr old, and I just visited Bengston's and it was everything I remember and more! It brought back old memories as a child seeing the original general store with the witch flying high on her broom right out front. We love all the new food options and activities for the kids. I can see us coming back for years to come!

My favorite place to go to for fall. This was our 3rd year there, definitely recommend going during the week. It's never crowded & the staff has always been friendly.

So much fun! There are soooo many activities for the kids to get into! Be sure to get there early though! The lines get very long!

I've taken my kids here every year since before they turned 1. Best money and time spent with family. It's outdoors, there are animals, rides and good food. Highly recommended!

We had a great time. I recommend coming in right when they open or after 2pm. There tends to be a rush around the 12pm-2pm time. That s a good time for lunch

This is a great family friendly pumpkin patch. Plenty to do for kids of all ages and adults. My kids absolutely love this place.

Its great place to take ur kids. We had fun time. There are easy n safe rides for kids.

Fun place. Lots of stuff for the kids. Friendly staff.

I like this farm because there's a lot of stuff to do with your family. You can consider this place for a familiy tradition.

The weather and ambiente were just perfect. Although their prices were a bit high in the food but everything else was great, definitely going back for the 3rd year

We have visited here on many occasions. They never disappoint! There are alot of activities and photo ops to keep your whole family busy for hours. Seems they add on every year also.

Relly fun environment for the kids...just a bit expensive so be prepared to spend some money.

Great place to take the family! Lots to do! Very reasonable pricing!

Have been coming for years and it never disappoints

Normally I love this place, but this year was a bummer.
The site claims it's taking heavy covid-19 precautions but I didn't see much. "Sanitation stations" were slim, nobody was taking temps at entry as the site claimed, and I'd say slightly more than 50% of the people there weren't wearing masks or socially distancing (including walking staff) while extremely packed. I understand you can't keep all those people under control, it's a rough time working through coronavirus. They should have just stayed closed this year.

I love Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm. I have been taking my kids since they were little.

This place is awesome. 1 entry fee and then all the rides are included. My kids love coming here and riding all the rides and playing in the corn. Great food and great atmosphere. I like to come early in the season when the crowds are smaller. APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS!

Every ride attendants had a wonderful outgoing attitude with both parents and kids, they really go above & beyond...so many rides to choose from, will definitely come back again

Bengtsons is a great place to enjoy time with your family. We love eating the apple ciders donut and the kids enjoy the corn boxes

I took my girls here on opening day of this year, my daughter's had such a blast! It wasn't busy and we got to go on the rides many times and the employees were so friendly and because it wasn't so busy of lines they let the children stay on the ride to go on again! Very kind! The new cow ride omg it was a blast, I even loved it and I'm 30 :-) we went on that many times. The corn pit is so nice! I loved the lights inside, and the fact they had stairs to go inside of it, so much safer in my opinion. I love also, how you can sit on the edge if you want with your feet in the corn pit as you watch the kids. The food and drinks are at a good reasonable price! Medium size drink was like 2.50 that's a good price I'm my opinion. Their are many many things you can so their. For sure an all day thing! I'm totally taking them back again soon. Also it was nice having two train rides Now, especially when usually the train one is always long. So yeah I am so happy and excited for new things they did! So much fun!!!!

Went last year with my husband and son and we absolutely loved it!

Our family loves this place! We are excited about the new additions and can't wait to visit this year!

Love this place! My huge family goes yearly. We enjoy the pig races. One of our favorite fall activities to go to.

Amazing! Clean, fun, so much to do there. The staff is awesome. Cant wait to go back this year!

I took my son here for his first pumpkin picking experience. He loved, loved, loved it! His favorite part was the petting zoo. I will definitely be going back there! Great family time! I totally recommend this place!

My whole family goes every year. Always a good time.

The best pumpkin farm around, hands down and we have been to several. The pumpkins were beautiful and there were so many nice ones to choose from. Bengtson's has something for people of all ages, kids and parents. The kids especially loved the rides. I don't know who enjoyed playing in the corn more, us or them! There was so much to do, we went back a second time.

Go here every year! The kids just love it here! From the rides to the pumpkins, the kids just have so much fun. Definitely recommend taking the family!

Love this place usually, a yearly staple in our family. This year came on a weekday and it was packed, wish w covid they would have done a cap on tidlx. We decided not to go in when the parking lot was full and pine was out then door.

I have been going here since I was a child and now happy to bring my son here to experience the fun. We have tried other pumpkin farms over the years but none compare.

This place is fantastic. My son (2.5 yo) loved it as the majority of the rides are perfect for his age/size. The whole family enjoyed the corn box (I was finding corn in the oddest places for the next few days, ha!) The food situation is typical of any amusement park-type of establishment: a bit overpriced, and not that great. My husband and I both ordered wood-for pizza, both pieces of which were charred to the point of being cheese and sauce on a glorified cracker, but the cheese quesadilla we got for the kids was pretty good. My son loved the animatronics. They have quite a few animal displays around the property as well as a very well stocked petting zoo with some fun, exotic picks. Wish they were closer because I'd definitely go regularly if that were the case.

It's a little pricey but completely worth it. The games, food, decorations, everything was perfect. We really had a great time. My kids love it.

We love coming to BENGSTONS! This will be our 3rd year visiting and we can t wait to return with the kids every year! There is so much to do here! My kids could spend forever in the corn pit alone!
A huge favorite also isgetting to feed all the animals the carrot chips! There are A lot of kid rides and the big slide and so much more! We could spend all day long here and have done in previous years! Can t wait to come back again this year! I love getting our photo taken when we walk in, it s a great memory to have and keep.

Very funny. To hang out with the family all day. And enjoy all the games. And attractions.

Nicest pumpkin patch i have tried others but this is the best

Loved this place first time visit was awesome!
A welcomed break from the craziness going on..THANKS BENGTSON'S YOU GUYS ROCK!

Took my whole family on our first trip to our first Pumkin Patch and it was amazing my son loved all the rides and food, O and I can t leave out their famous donuts delicious.I will be making this a every year trip for me and my family

This is our favorite place for fall fun! Perfect for young kids...we could spend all day here and not run out of things to do. I'd definitely recommend going during the week if possible, it gets pricey and crowded on weekends.

Great place for kids and family!! Lots of fun things to do with my 3yo son. This is gonna be our annual family tradition from now on for sure.

My 10 year old loved it. However I couldn't find a place to change my baby's diaper.

I have never been here would love to take my grandkids

Too crowded huge lines for the kid rides food is expensive too

The best pumpkin farm around!! Super fun for age groups!

Best pumpkin farm in Illinois! We take almost an hour drive every year and it's always worth it! Also can't wait to check out this years new addition.

Big, with lots to do for the little ones. Expensive to get in, but no more so than anywhere else.

I came here with high hopes based on the reviews. My girlfriend had been here before and sang it s praises as well. We got to bengtsons around 5 pm and just to get in it was $20 each. We walked in as the hog race was starting, cool. We then got hungry so got some elote from the taco stand, which tasted like canned corn barley drained with some condiments globbed on. I wasn t impressed at all. We then headed to the bbq spot and got mac and Cheese with chili. 5/10.

What happened next is what will forever leave a bad taste in my mouth, and will be what prevents me from returning.

After eating we go to the pumpkin patch to look and pumpkins and find one we like. It s quire heavy so we decide to purchase, drop it at the car so we don t have to carry it around the rest of the day, and planned to come back in to finish the day. I asked not one but two seperate employees if this was okay, and both said it was. Upon returning , we encounter the same employee that we asked if we could return, and because the front gate employees didn t stamp our hands we couldn t re enter. We had a receipt for the pumpkin we just had purchsed and showed it to the employee manning the re entry gate. This didn t make a difference to him and he turned us away. We had been inside for about an hour and a half and had spent $40 on entry, $11 on a pumpkin, $8 on elote, and $13 on mac and chili.

~$70 is rather steep for a pumpkin and stomach ache in my opinion.

I will not return, and hope to find a better place to do fall stuff in the future. I m really disappointed because I had high hopes since I ve heard such great things.

One of the best pumpkin patch. Our enjoyed the corn box a lot.

Sorry but they should have some kind of limit of how many people. I dont care about masks or social distancing but those hourly lines were ridiculous i have family of 5 and paid $100 to go around that place . As much as i liked it before i think it was over crowded

Love the place but I always feel uneasy about animals being caged up all day.

Pricing is outrageous. Some children do not go on rides. Why charge full fee for a three year old? I think the owners should re-evaluate some of their pricing. I understand you are going off of other places, carnivals, etc. Like I said some children don t want to go on rides. Maybe charge full price and do wristbands for the ones that do and the ones that don t charge a regular child fee!

Went for the first time in 2016 and absolutely loved it and now will be returning this year with our little one!

What is there not to like about bengstons. My family and I love it all, the pig races are always a blast. My family would love to go again this year.

my children and I was there!! we love this place...

I love this place! We take the whole family every fall as it has become a tradition. So much to see and do in addition to the amazing pumpkin pickings they have available.

I love bengstons, there is much to do with the kids. My kids can stay for hours and not get tired of it. But what I didn't like how overly crowded it was. We only stayed for half an hour because it was not enjoyable with so many people, long lines, and barely any walking space. I suggest go early to avoid the crowd.

Awesome pumpkin farm. So many things to see and do.

We love this place my kids and I have been going for many years and now they're adults ready to have their children and we're still going

Way too crowded, parking is crazy (quite the walk from the entrance), and layout isn't that good. Wish the layout was more open because you cannot easily see all of the things they have. You turn a corner and come across something else. If we knew certain things were there, we would have planned our day differently - we were already ending our day walking out. I guess we'd have to come back to hit it all. It's great you can literally spend all day here though.

However, with the numerous things to do, I'd expect lines to not be so long - but every line was way too long. Overcrowded, and it's like a mini amusement park - more so a park than a pumpkin patch. Wish there was a 'fast pass' like at Six Flags. It's a cool place and enjoyable, but I'd rather go elsewhere not as crowded (or a slow day here, if that exists) since waiting in lines with little kids is not fun. We honestly enjoyed Goebbert's more. Maybe we'd come here more often when the kids are older and don't have to worry so much about naps for overtired, hungry kids.

Been going for years now. Bengston's is your one-stop fall spot! They've added new things this year and the kids loved it!

We "discovered" Bengtsons a few years back, and it has hands down become our favorite pumpkin farm. I think what drew us in was the corn bin...... we/ I could sit in it all day! Also love that once you get most of the activities are included. Obviously food is extra, but the options are so yummy they are worth it. Its a fall bucket list item, ya just gotta do!

I loved every minute of my experience at the farm. So many things for my kids to enjoy. We go every year and there is always new and exciting things to do. Can't wait to go back

This is the best Pumpkin patch in the Chicagoland area, the kids had a great time. The kettle popcorn and Apple cider donuts are awesome. I would definitely be coming next year.

For the past 5 years, my husband and I have made it a family tradition every year. The price is so worth it. We love everything from the pig races to the haunted house to the rides. My kids favorite is the corn bin. The big chicken leg is so delicious as well. Best pumpkin patch ever!!

Always a great time at Bengstons. Very festive. The kids always have a great time.

Amazing farm my family visited a month ago would love to go. Back amazing staff amazing fun for the whole family

its a good place to enjoy with the family special with the kids

We drive a couple hours each year going here. It's so much fun. Playing in the corn bin is not only fun for kids, but I enjoyed it as well

Really enjoy going with the whole family here! Have so many memories at this place. My children love it!

Awesome couldn't choose a better place to enjoy with family!!

Waiting by the FUN SLIDE is ridiculous. They are making people to wait downstairs instead of upstairs and crating long time waiting to use the FUN SLIDE. Imagine waiting with kids.

This is by far the best pumpkin patch in Illinois! I enjoy coming to this farm with my family and making beautiful memories for them! Everyone should visit Bengston's at least once.

Can't wait to be open so I will be able to take my nephew to this awesome place !!!!!!!!!!

It was a great fun there except for the social distancing. Too much crowded.

I love this place I have been coming here since the 90's when I was a baby . I have continued to make it a family tradition for my family . My kids love it here. So much to do . Definitely worth the drive.. can't put a price on happiness= priceless

It's been a tradition for 5 years, on the week of our anniversary we go to visit the pumpkin patch, a part of our halloween fun and love for the holiday! Always fun and can't wait to go this year again!

I love Bengtsons! We take my girls there every year and they look forward to it. This place is very family oriented and there is something for everyone there! Let s not forget the donuts, delicious! I can t wait to take a visit there this year!
