Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm and Fall Fest — Attraction in Homer Glen

Bengtson’s is an absolute gem of a fall festival. Top notch in terms of rides and attractions, and your entire family can spend the day there within its safe, manageable confines. Not too big, not too small. Just right.

We generally go during Columbus Day, and try to arrive before the park opens to get the most out of the big rides before the long lines start to form. They have about 15-20 automated amusement rides. All of them feel new and are in great condition. The park never feels run down and they are always updating attractions. They have multiple play areas for children of all ages, and a MASSIVE corn pit that kids of every age will love.

They have a fairly wide variety of food, and it’s rather tasty too, especially for a big amusement park. It’s not just your typical hot dogs and hamburgers, but multiple cuisines featuring many different entrees, such as corn on the cob, BBQ, and tacos. The food tastes fresh and is served rather quickly, despite the long lunch lines you’ll sometime encounter. And the lemonades, ciders and donuts they offer are second to none!

The park features lots of smaller attractions that are typical of most fall fests, though like everything else here, it is all very well maintained and always up to date. They have a few animatronic displays, including one of my favorites, the skeletons playing legitimate bluegrass tunes. They have an elaborate, clean petting zoo, hat bale rides, pig racing and a beautiful pumpkin patch. And everything is accessible via a very smooth network of asphalt paths that meander through the property. The one hiccup that they can’t seems to get control of are the bees. LOTS AND LOTS of bees. We had one sting in our group once, but the first aid tent was very quick and helpful in taking care of the matter.

Whoever is in charge of this park does a spectacular job, nothing is run down and everything seems to be humming and clean. And it’s also one of the most family oriented parks I’ve ever been too. So many places has throngs of teenagers roaming the grounds that can make the venue feel uninviting. This is definitely not the case here, at least during the day. Highly...

No rides for little ones, pony & camel rides are separate $8 each for just one loop. The people at the camel ride were rude. The doughnuts were excellent. It was a cold day, wanted a hot cider but it was warm, not hot. Loved the live music. Not picked to display pumpkins and apple orchard. If you have little kids, maybe go somewhere else where there's more included in the price. Otherwise, a good...

$147 for 2 adults and 2 kids (2 & 4) on a Monday. Still really busy. For 2 hours of enjoyment. Most of that was waiting in lines. It’s absurdly expensive. I’d rather pay less up front and be charged for rides individually. I’m not strapped for money or anything but I can’t justify that cost for the experience next year. Also side note what happened to the big slides?...
