3) Puckerville Farms

Puckerville farm has a fabulous pumpkin patch which unlike many of the others is FREE!! Everyone wants a free pumpkin patch to visit, don't they. Perhaps I should do a post on free pumpkin patches in the United States so that everyone can take advantage.

As it is free it does not have amusement rides or other attractions, so if you are looking for a Chicago pumpkin patch for a full day out this is not for you. I still recommend visiting as it is free and has some really nice displays of pumpkins, haybales and scarecrows for the kids to enjoy.

This pumpkin patch opening time is 10am, it is open every day from mid-September until 31st October.
