Lockport

Tom's and Zach's Pumpkin Patch runs seasonally in Lockport, part of Will County's fall pumpkin-patch circuit. No current web listing was found describing specific hours or activities. Call ahead before visiting, since small seasonal patches like this often shift year to year.

Lockport

Tom and Zach's Pumpkin Patch works about an acre and a half of Bruce Road in Lockport, small enough that picking still means walking the field with your kids rather than riding out to it. The farm provides wagons and cutting tools, sells pie pumpkins, corn stalks, and straw, and sets up photo props around the grounds. The listing showed the patch closed for last season, so it's worth confirming current status before visiting.

Bolingbrook

Johansen Farms runs a seasonal pumpkin patch stocked with roughly 25,000 pumpkins each fall, plus a pie house serving fresh apple cider donuts. Next door, the 7-acre Children's Zoo houses more than 500 animals, with baby chicks to hold, pony and train rides, hayrides, and petting areas. The zoo and patch open for the fall season only; the attached nursery and garden center run daily year-round.
