A visitor writes on September 18, 2010: "My
boyfriend and I decided to go out to this farm last year to get a
pumpkin and do some apple picking. We drove from downtown and had a
blast, even though its geared more towards families with children (and
we don't have any). We will definitely be going back this year.....
maybe for a tree as well!"
A visitor writes on October 05, 2008: "My
In-Laws have been going there for a couple years and that is all they
can talk about for weeks. This years I brought my Family there and we
had a blast ! ! ! ! I can't wait until next year ! ! ! ! My 3 year old
Daughter loved it and my 22 year old Brother loved it too ! ! ! ! My
Mother can't wait until next year also ! ! ! ! "
A visitor
writes on October 06, 2008: "We
went to the farm this weekend, and although it started to rain while
we were there, we still had a great time (my husband, me and our
5-year-old). This is a very big farm with something for everyone,
literally, and plenty of low-hanging apples for kids to pick. We chose
this farm over others on your excellent website because of the variety
of apples they offer--we wanted some for eating, some for pies, and
some to make applesauce, and we need different types for that (pie
apples need to be firm). There are dozens of varieties of apples,
inclduing some we weren't familiar with (Gold Rush, Ida Red), though
not all areas are open for picking each day--depends on ripeness, etc.
The admission charge is kind of expensive, but at the same time the
apple prices were comparable to what I pay in my local grocery store
(it was $14.00 for 10 pounds, so $1.40 a pound--less than at my local
Jewel and certainly less than Whole Foods, though these apples are not
organic as far as I know). They also have a cool 5-acre corn maze, and
a whole farm of attractions across the street, includng pumpkin patch
and pony rides and petting zoo, which we skipped this time due to the
rain getting heavier. They also have a bakery and an outdoor food tent
which had something for each of us (braturst, cheeseburgers, hot dog
and very, very good apple cider donuts, which I don't usually like,
but these were lighter and more flavorful than most). We also bought
their cider which we thought was very good quality. Every sngle person
was friendly despite the bad weather and crowds, and they have a lot
of helpers everywhere you go. Our final verdict is that we will
definitely go back! If you do not like a big farm with lots going on,
I would choose a smaller place that just has apples, and perhaps it
will be cheaper. You will end up spending more money here because
there is a lot to do and to buy, but we kind of knew going into it
that we'd spend some money on this once-a-year outing, so we didn't
mind. Out of 5 stars, we'd give it 5!"
A visitor writes on
December 08, 2008: "I
LOVE THIS PLACE! We have been coming for three years now, and absolute
fell in love with their Amaizing Corn Maize, and also with their
kiddie section, that is actually not just for kids. The second corn
maize that you can ring their bell once you find it is fun for all
ages as is their new shed with hay bale. My kids had a blast this
fall, and we easily spent the day there. Too much to do, and they
slept like babies afterwards! The apples were delicious, and again,
this was a fun outing for my kids. This is a clean, friendly, clever
place. The Amaizing Corn Maize is just so fun, with Victory Lane, tall
flag banners, and very clever puns throughout. Kuiper's is the best;
just wish they were closer to my home, but it was still worth the
drive, and we will come back every year. Keep up the great work! It
gets better and bigger every year, and that's wonderful."

A
visitor writes on October 18, 2010: "This
place was expensive! I have never spent so much money just to get in
and the prices on some of the food items were beyond insane. There
were a lot of fun things for my 2 and 4 year old to do, but the place
was overrun with teenagers who were actually playing in the areas
meant for the younger children despite numerous activities that would
have been more appropriate. Needless to say, we did not get our
money's worth. I would suggest that anyone with young children go here
while older children are in school and be prepared to pay more than
most other places to get in."

A visitor writes on October 25, 2009: "I
will agree this place is OVERLY commercialized..I have been here once
before, and while it is "nice", it is ridiculously overpriced..I mean
to pay $30.00 (could be a little more) just for myself, husband and
daughter to walk THRU THE DOOR, not including the prices of pumpkins
or other things..it's ridiculous..There are plenty of pumpkin patches
in the chicagoland area with nearly the same amentities that don't
charge an entrance fee anywhere near to that magnitude, or don't
charge an entrance fee at all..Bengtston's Pumpkin Patch is WAY
overpriced..save your money for the actual pumpkins or other things
you want to buy and not ridiculous profits into their own pockets."
A visitor writes on October 06, 2009: "I
live behind this farm - it has changed alot in the last 10 years - it
is now very commercial and expensive. They haven't had a u-pick
section in years, they no longer grow their own pumpkins at all, they
are shipped in. The "hay-rides" don't have any hay-its just a tractor
pulled people-mover.
A visitor writes on February 17, 2009: "I
absolutely love this place... They have tons of stuff here like a
hayride that takes you out to the pumpkin patch, a haunted barn, a fun
barn, a halloween shop, pig races, a corn maze, many animated
displays, rides, food, a pumpkin launcher, pony rides, a petting zoo,
fake cows you can milk, and more. It is definitely the most popular
pumpkin farm in the Cook County area and was even voted the best
pumpkin farm in the chicagoland area. I have been going here with my
family for close to 20 years now and it is honestly one of my favorite
places in the world. There is a wide variety of activities and it is
just a wonderful atmosphere(although it does get very crowded at
times). I love watching the animated scenes and the pig races are also
entertaining. The haunted barn has some really cool scenes as well.
The fun barn is great for younger kids."
A visitor writes on July 17, 2008: "Bengston's
is very commercial. While there may be some u-pick pumpkins mainly
there are just big piles of pumpkins that we doubted were grown there.
If you are looking for an old fashioned lazy farm atmosphere this is
not it. It is just an expensive mechanical mayhem. My family and I
were very disappointed with our visit to pick apples. We were each
charged a "field fee" of $3 a person PLUS the cost of our apples. We
had to pay $12 before we even picked an apple! My husband was so
outraged he wanted to leave but we had already promised our 3 and 5
year old children we were picking apples. The only varieties they had
were standard "store type" kinds like Braeburn and Delicious. The trip
ended up costing us close to $40 for 2 bags of apples. Never go
again!"

A visitor writes on October 20, 2012: "I
decided to try Johansen Pumpkin Patch today after researching on your
and there personal website. My son and I had a GREAT time and what I
have found to be most 'bang for your buck'. Although we missed going
to the field to pick our own pumpkin we enjoyed finding one from the
large variety offered. After that we moved on to the petting zoo area
which is $10.50 unlimited except pony rides. The petting zoo was
fantastic. My son and I enjoyed most holding the baby chicks. There
are so adorable and so many different ones. One side had the really
small babies and other side were probably just few weeks older. We
each held at least ten. Then we moved on the petting and feeding the
friendly goats, sheeps, and lamps. Mama pig and piglets, donkey,
birds, chickens, and turkeys were fun to look at-sorry no petting
these animals. Overrall the animals and property looked well cared
for. There were quite a few rides to choose from for all ages which is
unlimited as well. We did the hayride-short circle around ride around
the corn field. My son enjoyed bouncy house and inflatable side with
the other kids. I like they had 3 slides so no long waits.
Unfortunately, we ran out of the time to do the train ride-it was
getting cold. Also, we tried few treats such as Apple Cider doughnuts
which they kept bringing out fresh. I'm not usually a big fan but
these were good. It was nice to samples some of the items they sell
like apple and pumpkin pie, pumpkin and banana bread, several
different spreads which were all tasty. I was a bit disappointed they
different offer a better food selection for the season like kettle or
roasted corn. Only hotdogs, nachos, regular popcorn, soda. I highly
recommend this pumpkin farm so much to do for the money as they can be
quite costly. Great for all ages. Already planning on going again next
year:) "

Corn Maze is a fun, more traditional family place and more low key

maze can't be topped. They had a corn pit near the concession stand
for the kids to play in, not sure if it's still there but the kids

A visitor writes on August 11, 2014: "Siegel's
Cottonwood farm has become a family tradition. We love to go to the
farm, see the animals, have a smoked turkey leg, root beer and fresh
apple pie. We have been going for 15 years now. Location is great.
Parking is free and lots of parking. The staff is so friendly and
helpful. We enjoy their produce and the gift store treasures. Our only
complaint...it is not open 12 months of the year...but everyone needs
downtime. "
A
visitor writes on August 21, 2012: "This
place us Awesome! I brought my Grand kids here last year and they had
a blast all day. I love how they have an actually pumpkin field were
the kids can learn where pumpkins are actually grown and pick them
themselves. They also have so many attractions included in the
admission which is great. I hate going somewhere having to pay
admission but then have to pay for just about everything else that
there. This is our new place to go every year in the fall. "
A visitor writes on September 26, 2010: "I
visited Siegel's Cottonwood Farm for the first and only time in Fall
2009. I called first to ask about the corn maze. According to the
website and a person on the phone they were open until 6:00. We got
there at about 4:00 figuring that 2 hours should be plenty of time.
After only 30 minutes in the maze an employ came in and asked us to
leave as the maze closes an hour before the rest of the farm. The
website should have said that...the woman on the phone could have told
us...the woman who sold us the tickets should have told us...and the
employee who let us into the maze definitely should have told us! One
trip to the manager later, we were allowed back into the maze for
another 20 minutes. We will go to a different maze from now on."
