Took my 3 year old here for 3.5 hours and could have EASILY spent 3 more. It was $90 for three of us to go on a weekend. So many things to do! This was his second time going, and most of the activities this time were new to him. -various size basketball hoops -camel and pony rides -cute dramatic play town -train ride has lots of skeleton scenes to look at -pig ride -paint ball targets -animals to feed -construction toys We also came one night to the Halloween light show and LOVED it. If it was closer to home we would totally go back. The musical show part where you park is so cool.
Cheers for Hannah & Goebbert's Farm Team! Our executive meeting, with many moving pieces, came together like a dream. Amazing planning partner Hannah exhibited extraordinary creativity, thoughtful touches, & attention to detail. All meals were delicious, with unexpected surprises like cute, decorated tables & fresh kettle corn. Every wish was made to come true, from caramel apples cut into manageable pieces, to iced tea & water dispensers to cut down plastic waste, to private space to set up swag bags & executives to take calls, & adjacent private restrooms. The grounds are clean & inviting, not just for kids! Leaders enjoyed a Selfie Scavenger Hunt allowing them to explore the extensive farm's cool stuff to accomplish the goal. They enjoyed it and those with kids all wanted to bring their families back. Who wouldn't? There's a pumpkin-eating dinosaur! The main team-building activity Hannah recommended was a salsa making & marketing campaign contest. It started with teams picking beautiful fresh vegetables themselves (heirloom tomatoes, peppers & chiles of all kinds,) cool take-home logo aprons, salsa judge from the Mexican restaurant that provided hot lunch (we ate the resulting salsas at my suggestion), and ended with GORGEOUS blown glass red pepper trophies for the 2 categories, Best Salsa & Best Marketing Plan. It was outstanding in every conceivable way, a perfect activity for a sales & marketing team, totally Hannah's idea, FANTASTIC organization down to the smallest detail, and they were so surprised at how fun it was and how utterly relevant! The salsas were delicious; all condiments and necessary tools were provided with decorated worktables for each team, fun relay games while the vegetables were washed...I can't think of a single thing that could have been done better. Our evening dinner was to start with drinks & appetizers in the beautiful patio area outside the large conference space, but due to sundown timing, that plan was adjusted to dinner first followed by s'mores by the fire pits. It was a glorious evening, the signature cocktail I requested was prepared perfectly along with all the bar offerings and wine, and everyone received a bag to pick applies in the orchard with the help of the Owner directing them to the best apples of the season. Once they were done picking applies, they were directed to the end of an orchard row where a magical scene awaited them as the sun went down: a beautiful table set up with fall-themed twinkly-lighted decorations, lights in the trees, scrumptious gourmet barbecue (seriously, every single dish was DELICIOUS), and a talented guitar player strumming tunes for ambiance. They were driven via the big farm wagon to and from the locations, which in itself was fun! Then back to the patio for full bar, s'mores, music, and comradery around the fire pits. No bugs, no distracting outside people or noise, nothing but fantastic food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. People said it was like something out of a reality show, and they were absolutely overwhelmed. Hannah worked with me through developing every detail to make it everything that we asked for, and more, and kept the budget ridiculously reasonable for everything, all-inclusive. They're working on the only issue we encountered, which was some A/V challenges, to make their facilities even more conducive to corporate events. As it was, the audio-visual & sound limitations of the huge room, normally used for weddings and large events, and a bit overwhelming for our smallish group, led to some problems. However, Hannah and their charming A/V technician were super diligent with working to make it as workable as possible, and a portable speaker made the second day much better. I am confident they will figure all that out so future engagements will be perfect. I cannot possibly recommend Goebbert's Farm & Pumpkin Patch more highly. Hannah made me look like a hero and the feedback was glowing. Grateful!
We came here today, a party of 6, and I was mentally prepared for a crowd but I was surprised at just how crowded this place was in the early afternoon when we arrived. We could barely find parking and there was a line for everything. Every food place and every attraction had a wait involved. Be prepared to wait a LONG time on weekends. And it's so crowded that it's probably not a good idea to have young children walking around- most were being held or in their strollers/wagons. We left around 630pm and there were still plenty of people at the farm. If you can, it's a no brainer to try to come on a weekday instead of on a weekend. If you do come on a weekend, then try to get here early in the morning. Unfortunately this was the one weekend that worked for us. Admission is $25 for everyone 2 and older, and many other attractions inside cost extra. There are plenty of activities included in the admission price for the kids, like the corn pit, carousel, pumpkin express train, wagon ride and playgrounds. The live music by the food area was quite enjoyable. Pig racing was a new one for me but quite hilarious and entertaining. In terms for food. I really enjoyed the Italian sausage with peppers and onions from one of the food trucks, as well as the ice cream from another food truck. These two had the shortest lines and that's all I ended up eating here since I didn't want to spend more time waiting in line for apple cider donuts. My favorite activity was the apple picking- they have an amazing orchard with a ton of different varieties. I would come here just for the apple picking if that were an option. You have to take the wagon out to the orchard, so do it early so give yourself time to enjoy the apple orchard, corn maze and pumpkin patch. I do feel like the price of admission is steep for an adult. With the value I got from here, I feel like I could have gone to a more traditional pumpkin farm or apple orchard. You'd think that charging a higher price for admission would result in some weekend crowd control, but I didn't get any sense of that. Maybe having timed admission would help a little? There were also two private parties going on while we were there, so this place definitely juggles a lot on its plate. If I come again next year, I'm definitely coming on a weekday or not at all. Saving myself from the drive and hassle on a weekend! Overall an impressive farm with lots to do!
So much fun here at Goeberts everytime! Lots of activites and photo op areas i love the train ride and the wagon ride. I especially love their animal land and be prepared to spend on feeding the animals lol. This is a must do fall event with family or friends! Or even alone just bring your tripod!
Went to grab some corn. It was a lil high priced but we like to support local. Veggies looked amazing just did not need any today. The pick your own flowers was fun. Never did that before the staff was fantastic she was busy and working hard. Cute place check it out
it's always a great time here with the kiddos.. especially with the newly added "pumpkin grove" town. you can purchase tickets in person or online(not much of a savings) but there is soooo much included. i've been to other pumpkin patches where not only do they charge an entry fee, but you have to pay for train ride and other kid activities. here, everything's included for the most part! ( sans buying food for farm animals, a shooting game, camel rides, fruit/veg picking) this location is awesome also because you also have the option of apple or pumpkin picking. they also have a u-pick vegetable section that is cash only. my kid loves the merry go round, train ride, corn pit, maze, feeding the animals, the pig races, the huge slide, and so much more! don't forget to check out the pies at the market before you leave! my favorite the caramel apple nut pie!!
It was a beautiful sunny day to be here! It was pretty far from where I live, but it was worth it! You get a discount if you booked your tickets online! There's lots of activities for kids, magic show, small zoo, pumpkin patch, train rides, merry go round, slides and many more! You definitely can spend the whole day there! The staff were all very helpful and friendly! There's also lots of food vendors there, but we had the best food at Lilys Foundation!
Still love it here! Oktoberfest fest was fun! It was my first Oktoberfest as I just turned 21! I got lit and ratchet! It was so fun dancing to the music on the new hayride trailer pulled by the 8270r! Shout out to one of the drivers who used the tractor lights to entertain us! I had a BALL! I'm forever grateful for Goebberts being a safe space!
Aside from the apple picking, train ride, pumpkin picking, and all the cute pictures of my little guy..I was highly disappointed because of the well-being of these animals. For starters how are they getting all of these exotic animals? The kangaroo in the top left looked like he was barely able to walk and was attempting to jump but couldn't. The pony's/donkey looked exhausted and sad. Are they receiving a break like the workers do or do the workers get no breaks? Seeing animals aside from the "normal" farm animals that is not in a facility where they actually seemed cared for reminds me of "Tiger king"
The place seems very well suited for families with children. There were a lot of playground activities that would be of interest to small children. I went apple picking here and the selection of different types of apples was very plentiful. The staff seem very friendly and knowledgeable. Tickets are a little expensive for their value and the various food items that can be found around are also a little pricey. However, I want to recognize that this place is also for the experience. Therefore, price for value may not align. The whole place seems very well kept, organized, and clean. The apple cider donuts were a must try.
What a fun place to bring the kids for a fall afternoon! There is so much to do with the kids from feeding animals- all sorts, not just the domesticated farm kind either. To riding on tractors and trains to seeing pig races we had a fun time at Goebbert's. They also have different food trucks around the farm and also some inside the tented area. We got to eat at Lily's Foundation when we were there and the food was delicious! We might have to make this a yearly visit.
This was my first time at the Pingree location. I didn't know it existed, I've gone the Barrington location. This was quite the drive for me but I had my fun and you can easily spend a whole day there. It's fun for all ages. They have more things to do at this location for sure. Weekend price is $25 so it's quite the entrance but atleast a few things are included with it such as the big slide, haunted house, pig races, hayride, basketball, corn pit, bounce, carousel, animal land and a few others. There are other activities such as pony/camel rides, apple cannon, feed for animals that cost money. It's a choose what you want to spend your money on. It's nicely laid out so you can make a big circle to all the different parts. It definitely can get packed so wait times can get long for activities. I loved the animal land and being able to feed the giraffe they have there as it is my fave animal. They have a lot to offer as a fun fall activity place.

Let me just saw I am FLOORED this place has a 3.3 yelp star rating!! They are CRAZY!! This place is a treasure!! Want to entertain your kid all day while drinking a beer or glass a wine? Head here!! Everything except a few things like camel rides, is included in your $20 ticket! My girls knocked out in the car before we even left the parking lot!! Their cafeteria could use some help with line and temperature control. But the wait time wasn't too bad! Everything is well priced. I didn't feel like it was outrageous! Highly recommend their chicken sandwich! The cider slushy, donuts and chocolate chip cookies are also great!! So many different things for kids to do, photo opts and very clean!! read more

Came on a Wednesday at 3:30pm to avoid the immense weekend crowds. Was really disappointed that there was zero food to buy today (not even popcorn) - only saw stands selling lemonade & beer. Gave an overly-kind 4 stars just because this place is very large with lots for kids to do. But as expected, I spent a small fortune. Entry cost was $18 per person today. The 5-min pony ride was an extra $8. Didn't buy any animal feed because the cups were tiny and would feed one animal. My daughter had a blast. I highly recommend coming on a weekday because I've been here on a weekend before & it's a nightmare. read more

I went to Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch a couple weeks ago for the first time and I had amazing experience! If you are a huge animal lover like me this is a great place to visit. It's also fantastic for kids. My favorite part of my visit was interacting with their giraffe. They also had various animals to also interact with. However I agree they need to have a much larger area for their animals to roam. They had a small haunted house, a hay ride, apple and pumpkin picking among other activities and various food items to choose from and fresh corn. They also offer beer and cider. Their grilled chicken sandwich was plain but still very good. I will definitely be back!! read more

I absolutely love this place! Fall is one of my favorite seasons and this place definitely brought in that vibe. My family and I had a wonderful time on the farm. There were so much to do that we were so delighted to finally make the trip to check out the Fall festival. We got to see so many animals-- who knew they would have a giraffe & camels?!! especially in the Midwest! They were so beautiful to look at! The haunted mansion was AMAZING and well done! I wasn't expecting it to be so scary since the farm looked so kid friendly and I was expecting it to be like Disney scary. Boy, was I wrong!! From start to finish we were enthralled by the ambience! The jumpscares were great and super genuine! I haven't been scared at a haunted house in YEARS!! We squealed, screamed, and laughed the entire way. Very entertaining and very creepy for a small haunted mansion. Y'all definitely nailed every scene in each room! The food at the cafe were freshly made to order and it was so delicious! I highly recommend the cheeseburger and fries! It was too bad our drinks from the fridge wasn't cold to compliment the food. Nonetheless, we had an awesome time. Great for all ages and the best place to build family memories. The staff were so kind and friendly and made us want to come back again. We are living in such tough times and to be able to go out with my family brought back the normalcy we all will treasure. Thank you Goebbert's for a wonderful experience. read more

Thank you for sharing your awesome visit to Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch…
First pumpkin patch of 2021! Every year my son and I check out a new farm. Opened a week early and there were tons of motorcycles. The family/owners posts a lot on their social media (IG). We had a blast, fresh kettle corn, apple cider donuts, very cute market. There's a super cool slide, little train ride, carousel, and a jumping thing. Other photo ops as well. They recently had a sunflower field this summer, and in the winter they do a Christmas light show. Price was also pretty reasonable. The only reason I won't give it five stars is because my son is 9 and he enjoyed like three of the activities (slide, jump, bike ride track thing) that was about it. I didn't see much else for older kids. Excited to return and potentially come back for Christmas show. read more

Great and so much fun until the exotic animal tent. The animals looked miserable! The camels were crying out and one was being bullied, all the other camels were biting her and the woman in charge did nothing. The animals alone is a reason to not return. Please just stick with the barn animals, exotic animals at a pumpkin patch makes no sense. read more

We've always visited the Goebbert's Farm in Barrington but no more! The Goebbert's Farm in Pingree Grove will now be our new spot to bring the kids and pick our pumpkins! This location has many great activities that are all included in the price you pay, roughly $21 for entry. It's really a fair deal! And ordering tickets online was so easy! They have a very nice and "clean" (as much as animals can be clean) animal area that also includes a few exotic animals; who all look VERY well cared for! They have an impressive haunted house for the kids, a train ride on the Pumpkin or Apple Express that had a skeleton theme - I wont spoil it so you have to check it out. You can take a hay ride to the Pumpkin and Apple Patch to pick out your pumpkins or apples or you can pick pumpkins in the main area of the park if you're not up for the hay ride. They have a huge slide, corn pit, large sand area, and a carousal! They also have goodies to buy in their market store, apple cider donuts-yummy and Halloween décor. There's food stations to enjoy a quick bite, so you can get on to more activities. They even have a small beer station for adults craving a libation to quench that thirst. The staff was all very friendly and polite. Check out their website for all that's included. You wont be disappointed! I know my family had an absolute blast enjoying their farm and picking out our pumpkins! read more

Hands down our fav place to go each year for pumpkin and apple picking! They have a huge variety of family friendly activities from MrDs magic show , kid friendly haunted house,pig race, live band, haystack for kids to run around, giant corn maze by the pumpkins, petting zoo , carousel, camel ride and so much more. Honestly I can't say much more great things about this place other than checking it out yourself! Even as an adult I still had fun and hope to one day bring my kids here. Some of the highlights are: 1) apple picking - they drive you on this tractor to pick apples and there are so many to choose from including red delicious, Jonathan etc. my favs are Aztec Fuji , candy crisp, and golden delicious. They charge 10 dollar per bag so try to fit in as much as possible ! 2) pumpkin patch- love how this is a legit field with pumpkins on the vine vs pre picked pumpkin that you just buy from a store. I like to find the speciality white pumpkins but it's also a great spot if u r looking to decorate or cook some organic pumpkins! Just be careful not to throw out ur back when picking up the huge ones. 3) mr d magic show- ok I know the name sounds weird n I'm a grown adult but it's honestly one of the best free magic shows ever. He has this decorated 1950s truck with photos of himself and his family who were also magicians. I like how he involves the audience members n asks kids n adults to come up. It's a great time and fun for all ages. Ton of great food and drinks as well including fresh grilled corn on the husk, apple cider, apple cider donuts, pumpkin lager , grilled sausage and so much more! Last tips: I would just say this is an all day event so wear comfortable shoes. The wagon ride can be very dusty so Rec a hat and coat. Come early like late sept or early October to get the good apples and pumpkins! read more

I hate to write such a negative review, given these are hard times for us all. However, the attached picture is what you unfortunately walk into in the restroom at this farm. I worry for the animals here (a giraffe, kangaroos, zebras etc. that should not be in Illinois- please do your research before paying unlike I did) and clearly others agree you should get rid of them. Expand the corn maze, the donuts are great but the animals are clearly unhappy in such small spaces. If you can't keep the restrooms clean.. It says something about any establishment. Especially with a pandemic going on, animals involved and food. read more
Punkins! Cider! Giraffes, oh my! My first visit to Goebbert's and it lived up to the hype. Entrance fee was $8/person, which might seem steep, but they don't nickel and dime you much inside, save for if you want to ride a camel or feed the animals. We liked feeding the giraffes and my son and I have never been so close to giraffes. Giraffes! On a Farm! We loved the big corn maze, the bunnies' General Store "town", and the pig races. Who will win, Hillary RodHAM or Kevin BACON? Yes, the pig announcer threw in every pork pun in the book, and thensome! But it was fun to cheer on the pigs. This place was way less crowded than Kenosha's Apple Holler, even two weekends before Halloween. It's very little kid-friendly, but older kids and adults with no funny bone may find it a bit sophomoric in Fall offerings. The Hay Ride looked lacking, and there's no real Pumpkin Patch here, so you can't go out and pick yer own (which I do enjoy). Still, you have to see the Pumpkin Eating Dinosaur and the Pumpkin Cannon. The dinosaur was so entertaining, and responded to the kids' taunts and even let them pet him. (Crowd: "Awwwwww"). The Pumpkin Cannon was something to behold. This thing cranked pumpkins about 200-300 yards towards a target and an old VW Bug. Plenty of Purel stations, bathrooms and full on hand washing stations, so you can get your giraffe-licked hands ready to drink some cider and eat apple cider donuts! Minor knocks for the lack of a pick your own pumpkin option, and lack of signage making it easy to pass by their little driveway. But this is still a Five Star Fall activity, all the way. read more
