Every fall, the fields at Abbey Farms turn into one of the Fox Valley’s best-loved family traditions. Pumpkin Daze opens Saturday, September 19 and runs through November 1, bringing more than twenty activities to the farm in Aurora, all included with a single admission.
Wander the 8-acre corn maze, cut this year from the new Abbey Farms logo, so you can walk through our story from the inside. Take a hay ride, race down the slides, test your footing on the log balance beam course, and crawl through the tractor tire tunnel adventure. On Saturdays and Sundays, the petting zoo is open and feed is available for purchase, live music plays in the beer tent from 1 to 4, and the Tumbleweed Grill and Father Bede’s Barn keep the concessions coming. Pre-picked pumpkins run $5 to $20 by size.
In September, the park is open weekends only, Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 6. Come October, we add Wednesday through Friday, 10 to 6, and Saturdays stretch to 10 p.m. for the after-dark Night Maze. We are open Columbus Day, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Last entry is one hour before close.
Admission is $21 online or $23 at the gate on weekends and Columbus Day, and $17 online or $19 at the gate on October weekdays. Children two and under are free, and parking is always free. A $45 season pass covers unlimited visits, so two trips and it pays for itself.
Abbey Farms is a working farm owned and operated by the Monks of Marmion Abbey. Every visit supports their mission. Growing memories since 1949.
