YOUR 2026 FALL PLANS ARE HERE! 🍂🎃 I went a little crazy with this one… 🤣 I wanted ONE massive guide with fall festivals, pumpkin patches, orchards and all of the fun fall things happening around Chicagoland. So here it is! I organized everything by county because there is SO much happening this fall. We’ve got apple picking, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hayrides, cider donuts, farm animals, fall festivals, pumpkin displays and plenty of places that could easily turn into a full fall day. And I didn’t stop at the immediate Chicago suburbs. I included spots farther out in Northern Illinois AND Northwest Indiana because some of our favorite adventures are worth the drive! A few things to know: some of these are actual festivals with specific dates, while others are farms and orchards with activities happening throughout the fall season. Dates, hours, pricing and activities can change (and some are weather dependent!), so always check directly with the destination before you go. 🍎 Want more info before picking where to go? I have a much more detailed version of this guide on my blog with additional information to help you plan. Check the link in my bio! And PLEASE save this post because I have a feeling you’re going to be coming back to it all September and October! 🍁 Follow ABBY BILINSKI for more Chicagoland family fun, hidden gems, seasonal guides + things to do with your family!
