Stickley Family Farms — Attraction in Matteson Township

If you have kids, live down the road, and have $12 to spare apiece there's a corn maze, a big slide, a cute little train and some snacks. If you're just looking for something fun and falley to do as an adult...don't go here. There's really nothing for you. I moved from Jackson and am used to Meckly's but we took a swing with this place, wanting to support a new local l buisness. Plus we have a little one on the way and I wanted to scope it out for future Halloweens. Their apple cider was $4 for hot apple flavored water. I'm assuming it was a dry powder package mixed with far too much water. The donuts were good, cold and crispy, but good. I was just disappointed with the place given the prices and quality. Again, I must not be the target demographic, but that water cider was rough. I don't think there's an excuse for that.

My son had a bad experience on burlap sack slide rides at the county fair as he got hurt on one, but I talked him into trying the one at the Stickley Farms and he loved it! I lost count how many times we went down it. The Peddle Bike/gocart bikes were his next favorite and I have to admit they were a lot of fun for myself as well. He loved racing me and watching me struggle to keep up! There are plenty of adult activities to do as well. Shoot Baskets, play Corn Hole, walk the Corn Maze, enjoy apple cider and doughnuts, and so much more! I found this place to be a great bang for the buck filled with hours of fun and memories! We are looking forward to going back in October to experience the haunted...
