Seeing and praying the Highland cows was fun. The Staff was outstanding! The decorations for Christmas was done very well.

YMCA Field Trip with 4-6 year olds -- 7/10 County Line…read moreOrchard We went on a field trip with our local YMCA. Process was simple: wristbands, then separate lines for each instructor. You rotate through sections about bees, apples, and how they are processed. For 4-5-6 year olds it was easy to follow and they understood it. Then you load the trams to go pick. That's when they told us on the tram that we would NOT be picking directly off the trees -- we'd be picking out of a large skid box. They said it was due to early/late frost and bees not being able to pollinate, plus a very wet spring/summer. They should have notified us beforehand. The kids were expecting to pick off the tree, and it was disappointing to find out once we were already on the tram. After the tram ride back you can roam as long as you want. We went to the animals first -- you can't feed them and there wasn't anyone there explaining, so it's self-explanatory. We did the little motor trike bike track, which the kids enjoyed. We ate in The Kitchen. Good selection for kids. Prices were a little high but not too bad. You order, get a number, and wait in line -- it gets really packed and could use a better system, but the cooks and cashiers were doing their best. There's a nice table of samples -- chutney, mustard, aiolis and other things they sell. Gift shop area has honey, coffee, canned goods, candles, pumpkins, and a toy area (we tried to keep the kids away from that one!). Prices felt high compared to the other 5-6 orchards/pumpkin farms we've been to around here -- only one further south is more reasonable. Kids had fun. We hadn't been in about 3 years. Would we go back? Maybe -- it's questionable for us because there are cheaper, more hands-on options for little kids nearby.

Sample toppings had one spoon to sample the variety of toppings that you place onto your food. Ladies restroom floor was wet with urine, had to roll my pants up to potty! Fries was refried please never do that again, just disappointed and a waste of my money all four of our fries was awful. We all order the chicken nuggets...was way over cooked, dry and taste like box nuggets. The baked apples was the best of my meal! The jams, toppings, donuts, popcorn etc., were the best!!! You been warned!

We visited in October 2020 during the pandemic. I did a lot of research to find the farms that are…read moretaking proper safety precautions with a setup that allows for social distancing. Dollinger Family Farm checked all the boxes, so we gave it a shot. I'm so glad I did because we had a very positive experience. We arrived on a Saturday right when it opened to avoid crowds. There were others there, but distancing was so easy. There were signs everywhere about wearing a mask and there was also a hand-washing station. We noticed a lot of other farms that are an easy drive from like Chicago did not take this pandemic seriously at all, so we loved supporting a farm that did take it seriously. We looked a bit at the animals--so cute!--before heading over to look at the pumpkins (AKA the main event). They had a tractor set up with a bunch of assorted squash for the perfect photo op. Then, pumpkins were sorted into piles based on size with a sign with the price. For example, a pile with $8 pumpkins. I believe the most expensive were $12. We selected two $8 pumpkins that were huge! My only suggestion would be to actually label the pumpkins with prices. The people in front of us in line picked a pumpkin from the $9 pile, but the employee insisted that this was too big of a pumpkin to have come from that pile. She said sometimes customers move the pumpkins around. I don't blame the customers for being a little frustrated because they obviously picked their pumpkin with the price in mind. We were worried this might happen to us, but they did not question when we told them we picked $8 pumpkins. The service was excellent. An employee actually took our pumpkins and we could drive up to pick them up before leaving. It was so helpful not to have to carry these huge pumpkins over to the car ourselves. We will definitely be back next year!

It was closed I think!! They should of put that on their post. It took time to find then when we…read moregot there no one was anywhere around! Very disappointed!

Children's Farm - Pumpkins and fall items for sale

We had such a blast at the children's farm during their "Pumpkin Playland" (Sept 19 - Nov 1, 2026)…read more Admission was $15 for ages 2+ and there were so many things to do with two toddlers, two moms, and grandma. Here was a breakdown of our time there (10:30am - 12:30pm): +explored the farm and pet some animals (ducks, chicks, donkey, piglets, goats) +took pictures at a bunch of their photos ops +lunch/concessions at their shaded picnic area +hayrack ride +corn box +pet some bunnies It felt like a community event, lots of volunteers old and young, helping with the animals and staffing the concessions and pumping weigh area etc. There was a pumpkin patch where you bring your selected pumpkins to the shelter to "weigh and pay" and there were pumpkins for purchase as well (that you don't need to pick from the patch). There was a popcorn station, a smores station, a kid-friendly corn maze (that we didn't get to check out) and even a bunch of vendors right by the entrance selling fresh lemonade, crochet/knit stuffies, 3D printed toys, etc. If you purchase a heavy pumpkin or mums, there is a courtesy golf cart to shuttle your goods back to the car. There was plenty of parking on the gravel lot by the entrance and they opened at 10am on the Saturday we went. It's nice that this farm has bathrooms and overall it felt very accommodating and accessible for little kids, even the little littles. There were lots of spaces for stroller parking and tons of families. This farm was a great place for my toddler to pet some animals. She was a little shy and scared to brush the goats or approach the piglets, but if you kiddo loves animals, they will have a blast. The volunteers are helpful and protect the animals too, keeping a watchful eye and managing the passing off of bunnies, for example, to people's laps, or ensuring the goat and sheep pens are not too crowded. Their concessions menu had hot dogs, hamburgers or cheeseburgers, chips, cans of pop, nachos, apple cider, and Rice Krispies. We brought some food and snacks with us as well, and their covered picnic area was perfect for rest and refuel. There was even a private party at one end of the shaded picnic area, how fun to have a birthday party at the farm. It was a gorgeous fall day to be outside and the staff were so friendly; it was very organized and well maintained, even with the throngs of families that kept arriving throughout the day. I'd recommend coming on the earlier side, the animals are probably less cranky and it's less busy right at opening. Five shining stars for the Pumpkin Playland event at Children's Farm. It's worth the trek out to Palos Park!

Great place to come with kids! We came for the fall pumpkin patch. There were lots of animals to…read morehold and interact with (pigs, goats, rabbits, etc). They also had smores, a tractor ride, pumpkin patch area, and corn maze.
