Every year we see wonderful family-owned farms in Wichita or the surrounding area that offer pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and other fall fun for families. Here’s a list of all the farms I know of within an hour or so of Wichita where you can pick pumpkins, have a hayride, see (and pet!) some farm animals close-up, or find your way through a maze of corn. I’ve included contact information for each place and put them all on a handy map!
Hey, after you get your pumpkin you’ll need to carve it. Check out my roundup of free pumpkin carving stencils.
Do you know of a great family farm I’ve missed? Please let me know in the comments section!

Hi, I have a family group of 5 adults and one, two year old. Can you suggest the best pumpkin patch to go to that would keep everyone entertained?
Thank you so much?
Another reader asked this just recently! I haven’t been to them all, so I’ve asked on Facebook. That said, I did read that Bergmann had more activities for the older kids. (And if anyone responds on Facebook, you’ll see the answers here.)
I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to which farm and corn maze might have more things for teens and young adults. thanks!
It’s interesting that you asked this, Pam! I haven’t been to all of them, of course, but just yesterday I saw a woman comment that Bergmann had the most activities for her teen and adult children. Hope that’s helpful!
Do you have a list for the fall craft and festivals, especially the towns outside of Wichita. The Eagle usually has one but always miss it and most are in Wichita.
Yes! I have list of fall festivals – many of which include craft shows – and I should have a list of fall craft fairs soon. For now, here’s the link to Fall Festivals near Wichita.

Nice. Thank you, Kim!
Hi, Do we have a page for halloween trick or treat events and haunted houses yet?
Hi, Cindy. Yes, I’m working on updating last year’s, but haven’t gotten it finished yet. Here’s the URL where it will be. https://wichitaonthecheap.com/wichita-trick-treating-halloween-events/
This is not pumpkin related but “fall” related. I have lived in Wichita all my life and just heard there is an apple orchard in Newton. It’s called Entz Ordard they have a facebook page. I took my boys there this past weekend. They had so much fun picking apples. You can eat as many as you want to try while you are picking. And, just buy the ones you want to keep … most apple varieties run $1.25/lb. We took home a whole basket for $7. For an hour of entertainment for a family of 4 … that’s Wichita on the Cheap.
I LOVE this! Yes, picking apples can be such a fun family thing to do, and it’s something that is great for kids (and adults!) to experience. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this with us, Penny. I hadn’t heard of Entz Orchard before either, but I’ll check them out!
