Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
Common questions about farms and orchards in Chicago
How many farms and orchards are there in Chicago?
We list 7 farms and orchards within 48 miles of Chicago, IL. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
Which farms and orchards in Chicago publish their prices?
2 of the 7 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.
Are any farms and orchards in Chicago free?
Yes. One place gets you in free: Sonny Acres Farm.
Which farms and orchards in Chicago suit a toddler?
One of them lists an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.
How did Mini Navigators choose these farms and orchards?
We list every one we have within 48 miles of the center of Chicago. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 2 of the 7 on this page publish a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.
Do I need to book ahead?
Yes in autumn. Pumpkin season sells timed tickets and the weekends go first. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Boots or shoes that can get filthy, hand wipes, and cash. Several farms are cash only. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
What else is there to do with kids in Chicago?
Chicago has 20 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Chicago hub lists all of them.
