This is a fantastic farm to take kids! The farm is very spacious with a lot of activities. We enjoyed playing in the pumpkin patch and seeing all the animals. Awesome experience.

I went here with my niece and family to enjoy the pumpkin patch offerings at the s Dollinger Family Farm. This was my first visit to a "patch" and I gotta say it was fun. For kids, there's lots to do and see. My niece loved petting the goats and bunnies and watching the roosters. I really liked the colonial costumes some were wearing and the historical lessons. We stayed a good 2-hours to take it all in. It was busy as all get out when we went with all the hayrides full so try to get there early. Put on sunscreen too because everything is outdoors with the exception of the market and snack huts. More...

Grew up in the Minooka area and have been here a handful of times. Always a great family atmosphere, lots of activities to do especially with the kids! Having goats and donkeys you can look at and pet there, it's pretty cool. More...

My mom and I came here years ago so it was fun to return while we were nearby today. It's nice that there's no entry fee, and there's still stuff to do on a weekday though less than the weekend. (Wish there were cider and donuts today, though!) We enjoyed the affordable giftshop, buying some fall decor trinkets and some apple butter and honey, then roamed a bit. There are cool carved wood pieces everywhere to see (bears, owls, pumpkin on a man's head) so those are fun to find. We love the little houses and the "How tall this fall?" yardstick (I have not grown or shrunk since the last time, haha). It's also cool to look across the land at the sea of pumpkins waiting to be bought! The animals are cute but remind me that I am a city girl, haha. It was fairly busy on a Friday afternoon: us, some families with kids and a group of crazy teen girls doing a scavenger hunt.  I can't imagine the crowds on a weekend! Come on down to Channahon before the pumpkins get picked over and have some fall fun at Dollinger. More...

I've been coming here forever, with my children and now grandchildren... It's local and we have a blast every time... Lots of photo ops. .. Inexpensive family time at its best!!!! Love, love, love!!! My only complaint is that they have so much room and the gift shop is so small and always so crowded with adults and a lot of unattended children that you can't really enjoy it....you'd think with the amount of land/space they have, they would find a better location for the gift shop...like when they moved the play houses east of the pumpkins and hay area...that allowed all the children to have way more space...maybe build a larger gift shop and you the existing gift shop building for maybe a kid friendly ( haunted/halloween house) just an idea...I know it all takes money and time...And maybe a little more variety as far as food...pizza 4 you is great but some other options may be nice...but overall its simply fabulous!!!

FREE parking, NO admission fee, a lot of activities for the kids- petting area w/ rabbits, sheep, goats, donkeys, and turkeys although you don't want to touch them. They have a large tepee, a corn bin, hayride, gift shop, and eating area w/ something for everyone. My husband recommends the mini donuts and fudge. His favorite fudge is the pumpkin nut followed closely by the dark chocolate pumpkin cheesecake and honey cashew.They have a large variety of pumpkins and I remember them ranging from $8 to $10. You can use their carts/wagons to to them to your car. I would return when my daughter is a little bit older so she can have some fun petting the animals and playing around. It's a great place to make some memories. More...

We go here every year for the fall. I love the fact that there is so much to do for free. Unlike other locations where you ave to pay just to get in. We play in the houses see all the animals take great pictures. The only things we pay for are the corn maze and train ride. Both are priced fairly and are fun for the kids. Really a great place for the family. I always buy my pumpkins here to support the farm. More...

I wasn't sure what to expect at this place, but I was very happily pleased! We went during the week in the morning/afternoon so there really weren't too many people there. My 4 and 2 year olds thoroughly enjoyed all of the MANY play houses and things to explore. Everything we did was free which was awesome. Free corn bin (HUGE), free play area with numerous playhouses, free farm animals to pet and look at, all in a beautiful country setting. There is a nice area with many picnic benches under the trees to bring and eat your lunch, there's also a place to buy and eat food although they were not open when we were there. We loved this place and none of the really fun things (hayride, train ride) were even running at the time. All of the employees were lovely as well. They have portable toilets. I'm not sure how much older kids would like it, but for little kids this is a wonderful place. Parking is free and there is no admission fee. I paid about $10 for 2 small pumpkins and 4 small gourds. A bargain considering the fun filled day we had. We will definitely return. More...

The Dollinger Family Farm has become a big part of our traditional Autumn festivities. More than simply a trip to the 'pumpkin patch', Dollinger creates an amazing & sprawling experience that includes a petting zoo, hay stacks, corn maze, play village, wagon rides, food and of course, a plethora of pumpkins! The grounds are clean and inviting, the staff is warm and helpful and parking and general admission are free. In addition to the seasonal activities, the Civil War days at Dollinger Farm (mid Oct) bring an historic energy and vibrance to an already fun filled afternoon and are highly recommended! More...
