This page provides a detailed list of Southwest Michigan's pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!! Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands. All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from. To really make it fun for your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride. There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don't always report changes to me!

We live in IL, but were in MI at the summer house for the weekend. I was looking for a place that was on the way home, open on Mondays and had activities for kids such as pick your own pumpkins, hayrides and corn mazes. The Spagues' farm was fantastic! We had such a wonderful time. They had everything I was looking for, they were so nice and friendly, the farm was beautiful and everything was well kept. We will continue to go back every year! I have passed on your site information to friends and information about the Sprague\'s Family Fun Farm as well. Keep up the great work! Thanks ~Sara B."
