The Great Pumpkin Patch - Arthur, Illinois

Absolutely beautiful! It was such an enjoyable experience to walk and take in the sights, history and ambiance. They kept the animals tidy (you can just tell they take very good care of them) and had adorable places set up to take pictures for the family. As we went on a weekday there weren't too many folks there, the only downside to a that was some shops weren't open but it was well worth it for the serenity. We could've spent 3+ hours going through all their mazes and exploring the footpaths. Already planning to return soon!

Huge variety of pumpkins and squash. I like the sweets shop also. I got a delicious loaf of pumpkin bread there for $5.50. My only complaint is the cost of the entire experience. It’s $12 for an adult to walk in… and the larger maze is more money on top of that. All of the pumpkins and gourds cost twice what the local farmers around here sell them for. I was looking for specifically gourds the local farmers didn’t have, and I found some great ones, but I wouldn’t ever buy the common stuff here.

It’s busy and expensive for a reason, because there really is a lot to see and do. It’s an impressive pumpkin patch I’ve gone to on and off since the 1990s when I was a kid, but the cost also has us usually choosing to go somewhere else. I was very excited to see the HUGE variety of squash that the “somewhere elses” of the area don’t always have… As you can see, my feelings are mixed… Impressive but costly pumpkin experience.

This place was packed with lots going on, we got there early lots to see, multiple mazes and places to take pictures, many shops offering alot of sweets and home made goodies along with specialty drinks, ample pumpkin selections along with being able to go out to the patch and being able to pick out your very own special pumpkin. Definitely a good way to spend a day, along with going into the local town of arther stopping to eat at yoders.

Awesome spot to take your family! Tons of pumpkins and gourds! Lots of critters to check out. Makes to wander. Get a tractor ride. All kinds of delicious foods available. Don't miss the bakery! We really enjoyed our afternoon@

35th year of this incredible pumpkin patch. I was lucky to experience it as a child myself and made it an annual trip with my family. It's always fun to go back year after year and see the new fun things they've added.
Can't miss items: Pumpkin Ice cream, Hot Apple Cider and/or Cider Slush, pumpkin whoopie pie cookies! Sorry not images, I devoured first and then realized I should have snapped some photos😬

Great place to go with the family to get pumpkins. Their field was amazing, with so many pumpkin and goards. They had chicken, goats, pigs, and llamas. Had a couple of food stands of hamburger, ice cream, and other homemade treats. 4-5 different type of mazes.

(Edit) The pumpkin we got was rotted all in the inside and when we opened it to carve it we were hit by a rotten inside! It also had a bunch of fleas inside too that got all over my counter.
