Experience hay rides and a Silly String Asylum at Happy Times Pumpkin Fest

Through Sunday, October 27, Happy Times Pumpkin Fest is putting on all types of family-friendly fall fun at Didier Farms in Lincolnshire, IL. Admission to the pumpkin patch is free and boasts a variety of pumpkins and gourds of different sizes.

Plenty of attractions are available for the entire family during this popular fall fest . Get lost in the corn maze or enter the Animal Land Zoo to pet and feed furry friends. Pony rides are available for kids only as this attraction comes with a weight limit of 100 pounds. Adults can opt for a more bumpy ride atop camels at the farm or a draft horse ride. Several mechanical rides are open to all ages, including the Wind Jammer, Dragon Wagon, and Fun Slide.

Don’t miss a relaxing hay ride around the farm, which is offered on weekends only. Kids also have the unique opportunity on weekends to enter the Silly String Asylum.

No visit to a fall festival is complete without fall sweet treats. Visitors at Happy Times Pumpkin Fest can enjoy apple cider donuts, caramel apples, the farm’s famous fudge, and pies. The farm store will sell a variety of jarred goods including pickles, jams, and local honey. To pre-order popular items like pies, donuts, and fudge, call 847-383-6958.
