We've been here a couple times, as a couple, and as a family with a baby. Overall, it's a great place for a day's outing. General admission includes little rides, the animals, corn maze, and hay rides. This used to be a la carte, and for just adults it was great. There is no minimum age for children, so sadly we still paid to carry our baby. You can still shop at the farm market for pumpkins, gourds, apples, coffee, donuts, and corn without paying the general admission fee. However, BBQ food truck, chocolate dipped strawberries, and soft pretzels are only inside the gate. Pumpkins and hard squash in 2022 are $0.49/lb. Parking is plentiful and we enjoyed being in a small crowd at noon on Sunday. TL;DR: Good outing for families with grade school kids. read more

This place has definitely grown in popularity over the years. It has also expanded in size. They have plenty of activities for kids and adults as well as plenty of food options which they never had before. The market is great especially for the cider doughnuts that keep coming out fresh all day long. If you need pumpkins they have plenty of options from small to large and all colors orange to white. Definitely a place to check out during the month October every year. read more

Solid pumpkin patch, always guaranteed to have a good time especially with the little ones!

This place is insanely overpriced. I can see it's appeal for families. But I don't think we'll ever go back.

This was such a nice little place. I like that it was wide open so if you had kids they could run around from one thing to the next and see them from afar. Their pumpkin patch was legit. They had red, blue, green, pink and Orange pumpkins! So cute!! Great value for the price! read more

5 Star experience. Our first time here. I hate County Line as they are way too commercial for me. My usual place was closed :( Windy Ridge Farms-love them. So I set out to find another place to get our yearly pumpkins. Admission is free. There are animals to pet and feed (25 cents per handful). We loved them all: llamas, goats, ponies, horses, cows, bunnies, pigs, & chicks (not for petting). My 4 year old rode his first pony. I was so proud. There is a children's train to ride & manual train cars for kids to hand pedal on a track (that was really cool). We planned on riding out to the pumpkin patch, but after waiting so long (a private party had taken over one of the tractor/wagons) we decided to just get from their enormous selection there. We filled up a wheel barrow with huge pumpkins, gourds, & a couple bags of popcorn. Our total for the whole thing was $56. Impressive, when you see how much we got. The environment was laid back. We were lucky to go on a sunny day with warm weather, so the setting was perfect. I'm already looking forward to going back next year. read more

I've been taking my kids there every year. This place never disappoints. This year they added couple food trucks. This is and always been the REAL PUMPKIN PATCH- everything is growing right there and you literally get to pull your pumpkins of the vine. I really appreciate the hard work this family puts in to make the experience always great for everyone. The only downside is that it gets SUPER busy on the weekends so if you can go during the week. read more

Although it's not pumpkin season I really enjoy this family ran pumpkin patch it's a perfect spot for the youngsters & A great place to create family memories! They sell produce here, they have a corn maze, pony rides, A giant slide, as well as the pumpkin patch. In the winter they had a beautiful drive through light show! I highly recommend this place! Make sure to call in advance to see if any group activities are going on though. Let's keep mom and pop shops alive read more

Donuts. I'm only here for the donuts. In the world of orchards and pumpkin patches one thing stands out...the donuts. Some call them cider donuts or apple donuts or even pumpkin but they can make or break the place. Kregels is still making these the right way unlike a very large (no name needed) orchard that everyone goes to that has become more tourist trap than orchard. Sure, that place is great for the kids but if you are looking for delicious moist homemade donuts come to Kregels instead! read more

Super fun pumpkin patch!! Great corn maze and tones of fun stuff for kids! I absolutely loved being able to pick my own pumpkin!! 10/10!

My Grandgirls had a blast! Perfect size with just the right amount of attractions and rides for the little ones.

Wouldn't even let us walk in without telling us we have to buy a $6 wristband. Everyone seemed like they were on a power trip just trying to make a buck. Time to find a new pumpkin patch read more

We took the whole family, 4 adults 1 child. The staff was great. The barn yard activities were fun. The animals were incredible. The pumpkins were healthy. I haven't tried the apple cider or pumpkin butter yet but the donuts were the best I've had since I was a kid! I'm not sure who had a better time the adults or the kid. The parking lot was full and there was still plenty of room for social distancing. read more

I have visited this pumpkin patch several times in the years and it's always been just okay. I will not be going this year after hearing how unprepared they are for an emergency on their property. Their treatment to emergency personnel and lack of concern for their guests is appalling. It's all about the profit and not the safety of their guests. read more

So much fun for the whole family! Yes, they charge admission, but I believe it's a great value. You get to go on the rides and attractions as many times as you want. $5 for adults does not seem unreasonable to me, I spend more on coffee at Starbucks. The new slide is a fun addition. They also have a petting zoo, corn maze, pedal cars, barrel train, corn maze, pony rides and wagon rides to pick pumpkins. Great variety of specialty type pumpkins to pick from too! read more

Kregel's Pumpkin Patch - Farmers Market Near Me - Lowell, Indiana

This place is a great place to go for an few hour visit! The attractions were simple, yet FUN! The lines were short, even on a weekend! Kids could run around the place and still be in view of the parents. There were a lot of neat things to keep us busy and we will definitely be coming back here year after year. It was cheap to get in also. I have no complaints. You can get the big orchard experience for less, with less hassle. I know this isn't an orchard but everything else was about the same! read more

Good pumpkin patch. You can pet lots of goats, there's pony rides and 2 corn mazes. Hayrides leave every half hour. My only complaint is the way they charge. There's no admission... BUT. There is. Charge for everything else which is fine but nothing is posted and its all cash. Overall fun, just felt nickel and dimed. Well be back next year, as its close and not crazy crowded. read more

It's a shame you have to date with one star in order to write a review. I was excited to go with my great grand children to the pumpkin patch, I even took my walker so I could walk the whole area, but the price is 6 bucks for seniors and it doesn't matter if your going to just watch you have to have a wrist band. When I asked why, the first young man kind of snickered and said it just the way it is. I went to the door and told them I couldn't go on any rides. She and the boy at the table were rude and laughed at me. It seems the commercialization of their patch has made them very rude and too big for their britches. read more

We have been going to Kregel's for many years and unfortunately this will be our last year. It has become very commercial, charging admission fees. We spent $70 on pumpkins and corn stalks to then get charged to look at a goat. We will be looking for a smaller, non-commercialized pumpkin patch to go to with our boys next year. So disappointed. read more

The country farm charm has been replaced with long lines to buy a wristband. I think the cost was $7. Pumpkins are sold by the lb.....then when heavy pumpkins lugged to cashier, one is curtly told cashier has recently had surgery and you, the customer, need heave the pumpkins up on counter. This was also said to a pregnant woman with a close to 50 lb pumpkin.....Kregel's may wish to rethink staffing choices, organization and costs. I'm still shaking my head over the experience. read more

Used to be my favorite pumpkin patch until this year when it became more commercialized. They closed everything off now, and they charge admission. It used to have a family farm feel and now it does not. Very disappointing! We may still go but it will never be the same again so sad! read more

I went there today for my son's field trip and we had a great experience! The staff were friendly and courteous. We paid $6.50 per person over 2 which is cheapest admission to a pumpkin patch that we've been to. It included a hay ride, giant slide, scooter cars, corn stalk teepee, petting zoo, and fun activities. We got a pumpkins for the kids(additional pumpkins were .39 cents per pound) They had a cute gift shop with delicious donuts, kettle corn, apple cider, bottled pop, apples, gourds, fall decor, homemade soaps, chocolates and candles. I will be coming back and recommend to friends and family read more

Nice little pumpkin patch with goats and lots of pumpkins to chose from. Dont forget to grab some donuts. They are delicious. Good price on pumpkins and lots of doffernet kinds. read more

Great prices for activities! Just enough but not overwhelming! Friendly and caring staff

My son has had a field trip for his preschool for the past 2 years. This is a nice pumpkin patch! You can ride a tractor out to the patch and choose your own or buy within the barn. They have apples, gords, and lots other things for sale in the barn as well. They have a petting zoo that you can feed the animals(bring a lot of quarters)! They have a barrel ride that my kids love! This year they even added a giant slide that really wore my kids out! I highly recommend this pumpkin patch! read more

We always loved going here. However, we will not go again. They decided to change their set up and you are forced to pay per adult and child to go to every event they have - regardless if you are too old to go in that ride or not. My children are 15 and 13 and don't want to do the slide or the train - which they wouldn't even fit on. We just wanted to pick pumpkins and go out to the field - but you can't do that without paying full price for every event. I think this place got a little too big for its worth. We ultimately ended up spending over $80 to get pumpkins and pay for the only event we did which was the only one not included in the price to get in. read more

I been to many pumpkin patches and this is by far the best one ever. Smaller than some but very nice, from the hayride to the apple spice doughnuts. The slingshot was awesome, (a few repairs needed on the slingshot but, one of three was still fine) mini train was great (my 21 month old loved it), the train from kiddie land was nice, pumpkin patch was nice (a little rough but still better than most). Very family friendly place, Never been to one ever with people this friendly. read more

Kregels used to be our favorite place but now they charge for everything, Harvest Tyme also in Lowell is way to go. Unfortionate with the admission fee charge - took the family farm feel and fun out of the experience. Unless you want to spend $80+ to feed goats and get a few pumpkins I would pass. read more

Great pumpkin patch: animals, hayrides, train rides for kids, donuts....what more do you want?!

Won't be going back since you are now charging admission. Guess you have to pay for that big slide? No worries though, there still is County Lind Orchard, and Harvest Tyme also in Lowell, with lots for kids to do. There, you pay for any attraction, no admission of parking charge. read more

Last time coming here. Now you have to spend $5 for each adult and more for children to ride out to the field to pick a pumpkin that you have to pay for on top of that. I have tween/teens, they aren't going to go on the barrel ride or pedal cars, we have no interest in that. We just want to ride to the field to pick a pumpkin. Instead we had to stay inside a fenced area and 'pick' pumpkins out of piles. read more

Great little patch. Kids had an awesome time, and the price was right for the overall day. I didn't get a chance to try their donuts or anything else foodwise since the line was way too long and we were ready to go, but maybe next year, cause we're coming back for sure. read more
