Pumpkin Patches near Lowell, IN

Lowell

Harvest Tyme spreads across 45 acres in Lake County and claims the largest u-pick pumpkin patch in the county, backed by a 3-acre corn maze with a smaller kiddie version for younger kids. Weekend hours run 10 to 6 through late October, with the 2026 season opening September 19. After dark, the farm runs a Pumpkin Glow Trail, and the whole operation converts to Christmas Tyme Lights once the pumpkins are gone. It's under an hour from Chicago.

Lowell

Norm's has been a family-run pumpkin patch in Lowell for generations, the kind of place locals return to every fall out of habit more than novelty. Alongside pumpkin picking — including pie pumpkins and ones good for saving seed — the farm runs a corn maze and haunted hayrides, with firepits and wood included in hayride packages. Call for current hours.

Beecher

Settler's Pond Pumpkin Patch runs seasonally in Beecher, part of Will County's fall pumpkin-patch trail. No current web listing was found describing hours or activities. Confirm open dates directly before visiting, since small seasonal patches like this shift year to year.

Crown Point

Hidden Creek is a small, kid-scaled pumpkin farm near Crown Point with hayrides, a corn maze sized for little legs, and its own honeybee apiary supplying farm-fresh honey. Birthday parties and school tours round out the fall season alongside the pumpkin patch itself, and pumpkins sell both at the on-site shop and a roadside farmstand. Facebook reviewers rate it a full 5 out of 5.

Monee

Butterprint Farm traces back to 1857 and opens its gates each October for a month of hayrides, pumpkin picking, rope-making demonstrations, and puppet shows. Pie pumpkins sell in bulk — 25, 50, or 100 at a time — for anyone stocking up to bake rather than carve. It runs as a single fall-festival season, not a year-round market.
